So I’m watching all these ads on TV and I thought I’d share that now is the time you should be looking to buy your “Menswear” rather than hire it.

End Of Financial Year Sales and Boxing Day Sales are the ultimate for saving up to 50% off suits, ties, shoes and just about everything else, so why would you bother hiring? Sure it’s an easy and less time consuming option, but it’s by no means the cheaper option when everything is on Sale, Sale, Sale.

Shopping from a blokes point of view has to be more like “bargain hunting”. Once it has objective it becomes a challenge, and even if it’s heavily discounted we’re likely to still haggle. Sure I seem like a tight arse, but it’s fun playing the game, and you’d be surprised how much people will mark down an item to make the sale.

It doesn’t have to be a designer suit either, most guys look snappy and make their mothers proud in just about any suit. And lets face it, it’s all about her dress. So unless you turn up nude or in fluoro, people aren’t going to be overly bothered if your wearing Armani or not.

Not to mention there will always be “special” occasions that you’ll need a good suit, so while the sales are in your favour (and you need one anyway), take the opportunity and dress yourself and your groomsmen for half price and know that the next time you wear it you’ve just ‘added value’.
