Let’s Talk Prom Rental Costs
Nobody likes finding out about extra fees after they’ve already picked out their outfit! At Formalities, our tuxedo rentals range from $200–$300, with everything included except your socks and underwear.
No surprise cleaning fees or extra charges for the pieces you need.
Already have part of your outfit? We can help with that, too! We offer partial rentals, so if you just need a vest, tie, or a few finishing touches, you don’t have to rent an entire tuxedo. Pricing for individual pieces varies depending on the style.
Tuxedo or Suit for Prom?
Wondering whether you should wear a tuxedo or suit to prom? You’re definitely not the only one! Some students want to go all out for the occasion, while others prefer something a little more laid-back. Both can look great, and we’ll help you decide which one is right for you.

Tuxedo
- Perfect if you want to go all out with a classic, dressed-up prom look.
- Features satin details on the lapels, buttons, and sometimes pants.
- Go traditional with black or try different colors and accessories.

Suit
- Great if you want to look sharp without feeling quite as formal.
- Typically uses the same fabric throughout, without the satin accents.
- Keep things simple or dress it up with a tie, bow tie, or other accessories.
