In February, we saw a fairly typical spread of Grey, Black, and Tan across the Top Ten Chart.
Taking up 6 spots on the Top Ten Charts were Grey Tuxedos and Suits, 4 tuxedos and 2 suits. That’s up from 5 spots last month. Grey tuxedos and suits tend to rent well year around, so it comes as no surprise that they continue to do well in February, which as a month, doesn’t hold a lot of sartorial significance. Generally speaking, aside from awards shows and a sprinkling of other events, the most exciting thing in February as far as the formal wear industry is concerned, is that prom season is just around the bend.
Splitting the difference on the top ten chart were 2 Classic Black Tuxedos as well as 2 Tan Suits. Classic Black always rents well in the colder months because it is and will continue to be the backbone of the industry. And until the weather no longer permits their comfortable use, they’ll continue to be strong renters.
Tan Tuxedos and Suits are typically a popular choice during warmer months of the year, generally viewed as the quintessential option for destination/beach side weddings. But this time of year, it’s still very popular for daytime and garden weddings, as well as many other semi-formal events. The presence of 2 tan suits on February’s Top Ten charts sends a clear message that destination suits do have staying power year round.
