Should I buy or hire a costume?

Have you ever wondered how your friend managed to rock up in a different costume to every party or questioned how they could afford so many? Well, it’s most likely that they’ve been hiring costumes. However, the real question lies in whether it is better to hire or buy a costume from a costume shop, so we’ve compiled some pros and cons to help you decide!

• The option of buying allows you to have your own unique costume. However, it may mean wearing the same outfit to numerous parties unless you choose to buy more.
• If you can make your own costumes it can help you save money, particularly for children as they tend to grow out of them quickly.
• Hiring costumes is becoming more popular as it is affordable and allows for variety. However, if you are hiring costumes more frequently for Halloween, fancy dress parties or other events, it can become quite expensive.

Keeping these in mind, you’ll be better informed when searching for your next outfit. Keep searching through our directory to find the nearest costume hire shop near you!
