How to Rent Clothes for Work

If you don't want to invest a large amount of money in buying clothes, you may want to consider finding a place where you can rent clothes for work. If you job involves occasional dressing up or calls for a particular suit of clothes that has a large investment value, you may want to rent clothes for work to decrease your uniform costs.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Consider purchasing clothes to wear to work if the cost is cheaper than to rent clothes for work.

2. Determine what kind of clothes you will need when you decide to rent clothes for work. Find out if your job requires a uniform, a certain color or a certain style. For instance, if you are in the food service industry, you may require a tuxedo shirt with tuxedo pants, or even a chef's uniform. If you only work in that type of industry on occasion, it may be financially advantageous to rent clothes for work instead of purchasing them.

3. Contact or visit uniform rental places to get quotes on the type of work clothes you are interested in renting.

4. Check with your human resources department or general manager to determine that you are getting a rental quote on the correct type and style of uniform.

5. Pay the rental fee when due to avoid penalties on your account when you rent clothes for work.

6. Clean the rental uniform or have the uniform professionally cleaned before returning. It's the responsibility of the renter to make sure the uniform is clean and presentable.

• Check the tax laws for your state about deducting clothing rental expense as a viable tax-deduction.
