I was not expecting to find such great service and tuxedo a day before my friends wedding. However the lovely family owned Southern Formals came through with the perfect tux and alterations, while also being kind, patient, and helpful. I will never go back to men's warehouse after finding this place. The quality , service , and people in this business are a million times better read more

Great Selection & Always Great Customer Service My fiancé and I were looking for a place to rent suits for the groomsmen for our wedding in April but after going to a couple of bigger name brand stores we were not at all impressed with the selection, prices, or service that we received and were getting kind of frustrated driving around looking.... When we came across Southern Formals. The store is tiny and a bit dated but we were greeted by the nicest gentleman when we walked in and he immediately took care of us and asked us what we were looking for our wedding day. Even though the display window had a really outdated tux and wedding dress on display inside they had a really beautiful selection of modern and elegant tuxedos and suits and ties and bow ties. We showed the gentleman there a photo of what we were looking for our daytime wedding in Ft Lauderdale and they helped us find exactly what we were looking for in no time. The guy helping us was so funny and had such a great sense of humor and made our day! We ordered a beautiful light grey suit with silver ties and black shiny shoes for the groomsmen and everyone at the wedding gave us so many compliments on how beautiful the suits looked and how great the quality of them were. If you're looking for a place to rent a suit or tuxedo, highly recommend Southern Formals! Picking up the suits was quick and easy and returning them was easy and quick too. Everything was just great and the service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Southern Formals for helping make our wedding day so beautiful read more

Total life saver! Jerry was quick and professional as soon as we walked into the door! The wedding is tonight and everything was closed Sunday and with the COVID pandemic, the rental place next to us was closed! We were afraid we would have to scrounge around Burlington Factory for a suit and not the appropriate tuxedo! Talk about last minute! So happy to have gone by previous reviews and made the trek up here! Now I have to find a dress for me! You guys don't have anything to worry about when it comes to formal wear, this place has the sizes and the professional experience to accommodate you! We were in a pinch and having Jerry tell us "no problem" with such short notice was clutch! Thank you so much Jerry! I'm writing this review as we wait for his suit! Can't wait to see him in it! read more

Southern Formals - My best man and me in our tuxedos. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I didn't end up buying a suit from them, I did have to cancel my order but it wasnt due to their service or pricing! They provided great service, they have quality suits for fare price, and were genuine. Helpful with the cancellation. read more

I was in a wedding party last weekend so the tuxedo rental place was chosen for me. They take walk-ins for the measurements which is nice and the whole process took about 10 minutes (another groomsman came with me) for both of us. The pickup and return window was kind of inconvenient. The wedding was on a Saturday afternoon and we were not able to pick up our Tuxes until the Thursday before at 4pm or all day on Friday. I work weird hours and was not able to go either Thursday or Friday, so one of the other groomsmen picked mine up for me and I took the risk that something wouldn't be right. It fit perfectly though and looked really great. The drop off was the following Monday, which I was working all day again, but I was able to have someone drop it off. A wider/more flexible pick and return process would make this a 5-star experience. read more

This company provides excellent customer service. The staff was exceptionally polite, patient, and helpful. I was advised to try on the tuxedo in the store, and they were willing to make any necessary adjustments, which they did. The tuxedo matched its description and fit perfectly. My groomsmen and I rented 10 suits without any issues. If I ever need to rent a tuxedo again in Florida, this is the place I would choose. read more

My husband was fitted for a suit for a wedding. They were thoughtful and diligent in everything they did. I strongly recommend them.

Stood around forever with nobody helping me (they were busy) then found out they could not help.

Needed a tux for an out of town black tie wedding. Everything worked out great and got compliments from people at the wedding and on my social media photos after. The owner and other customers were wearing masks and I felt comfortable and safe. read more

Highly recommend this place. I was coming from out of state for a wedding and needed a tuxedo for same day pick up. I had called before traveling to ensure I would be able to get same day service and was told that was possible. I might have to wait for any needed alterations but would be able to have same day service. I arrived when the store opened and was promptly taken care of. Rich was very knowledgeable, quick, and very helpful. I was quickly fitted for a shirt and black tux. The pants needed hemming, but that was done in less than 10 minutes. I think in all, I was out of there in 20 minutes! The whole process was not only painless, but actually pleasant. read more

Disappointed that a $90 shirt, still unopened, with receipt, could not be returned. Do not think I will shop there again.

Came to get measured as a groomsman in a black tie wedding. The service was amazing from start to finish. The 2 gentlemen who took care of me were professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. The jacket, pants, vest, shirt and shoes fit perfectly. I would recommend them highly and without reservation. read more

My husband got his tux from Southern Formals for our wedding last Sunday. From the moment we went to this shop we experienced professionalism and flexibility from Jerry. My husbands groomsmen were from out of town and he made sure that it was easy to coordinate with them as well. We even had a few last min fixes and he was able to do them right then and there. The tuxedos were of great quality and everyone looked amazing! Prices are affordable as well. Highly recommend! Thank you Jerry! read more

I NEVER write reviews but I had to write one for Southern Formals. Please don't go! Please don't trust this store. Best weekend of my life watching my son get married, but days later I'm writing this negative review. Let this illustrate how upsetting this experience was. Beware. Story: I went with my son to rent a tuxedo for his wedding. It was not cheap! Shy of $300! When we came to pick up the tuxedo it was a complete and utter disaster. The tuxedo didn't fit. It was a disaster. The pants were short, the sleeves on shirt were long, the jacket was just off, and the overall look was shabby! The man working there (maybe the owner) didn't give a crap. He looked annoyed that we wanted the tuxedo to fit properly. I mean this was my sons wedding!!!!!!!! The guy didn't give a crap and just looked annoyed. I actually had to walk the man through (step by step) what he needed to fix. It was as if I was on the show punked. Like at some point someone was going to jump out and say... "I'm kidding". Unfortunately, it wasn't a joke. I also couldn't just walk away because he charged us in full the week prior at the fitting. We were locked in plus the wedding was days away. Bottom line....The owner and or sales man should be ashamed of themselves. read more

I don't think my experience was the norm you should expect to receive with Southern Formals, but I feel obliged to share. We first visited Southern Formals in December of last year for my best friend's tux fitting for his wedding which was this past weekend. When we arrived to the shop, we were greeted kindly by a man who began to take our measurements. When the bride showed up, she was shown a few different styles to chose from in which we were ultimately up-sold to a newer, slim fit model. Each member of the groomsmen party put down a deposit to secure our tuxedo for my best friend's big day. When we showed up this past Friday for the final fitting and to pick up the tux, we thought this would be a quick & easy process since our measurements were taken months ago and the tuxes were already in the bags and everything appeared ready to go. I guess it's prom season for the local high schools so the shop's 2 dressing rooms were being occupied. We had no problem waiting for the dressing rooms because we know it's a small shop, but i think the prom season may have also impacted the inventory of tuxedos that the shop had to offer us. When it was finally my time to try on the tux, I thought I was handled the wrong bag. None of the pieces fit. It looked like I was a young adolescent playing dress up and wearing my father's tuxedo. The jacket was 2 sizes too large, the pants baggy, and the shirt was made for someone 2-3 times my size. I understand that rentals cannot be completely tailored to each individual person, but the sizes we were originally provided were not even close to being the right size. The employees were extremely accommodating in trying to find us new shirts and jackets that would fit, but I just don't understand why the sizing for all of us were so far off. Also, some of the tuxes appeared to be worn and some of them were dirty. It didn't look anything like the brand new tux that the bride was shown that we were ultimately up-sold to on the original fitting day. My friend's jacket had a large white stain on his back which he was extremely embarrassed about all day. The shop offered to exchange the jacket but being that pictures were starting shortly it was not an option to leave. A few of the guys' collars were still so large that the bow-ties kept falling forward all day. Personally, for my tuxedo, the button on my jacket was about to come off so by the end of pictures I wasn't even able to close my jacket. Again, I don't think our experience was the norm of what you should expect at Southern Formals, however I was not happy with what I paid for and what I received. I think this shop can and usually does better. read more

We had a great experience renting formal wear for my daughter's wedding. We rented 6 tuxes and all of them were immaculate and the perfect size. From start to finish Gerry and Chip helped us with choosing the right outfit and accessories. They spent the time with us before the event and made sure everything fit and when we return the items it couldn't have been any easier. Great customer service and would highly recommend them to anyone David Z read more

This is definitely the BEST PLACE to purchase a tuxedo in Fort Lauderdale. Reasonably price. Made to fit perfectly. All I had to show of the design that I wanted was a picture of a friend in his tuxedo. Chip knew exactly which design it was just by looking at the picture. Chip ordered it, took my measurements, then helped me to pick out my accessories. Tuxedo came in with a perfect fit. All this was done within three days. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Whomever owns this business please keep Chip employed there. I will be bringing in any alterations that I need done in the future. I can't express enough how much Chip helped me. If there were a million stars I would be giving it to him & Southern Formals. read more

Well hot damn did I love this place, I was in needin' of some fine formal garb and SF came through for me and my boys like never before! We had been through the ringer, Mens warehouse, Mr. Tux, etc, then like a beacon on a bayou night someone told us to go see chip at southern formal. I tell you what, I never have looked like such a slick city slicker in my life! For the rest of my time in Southern Florida I will be a Southern Formal boy! read more

Just used southern formals to service my wedding party and guests for a black tie wedding here in Fort Lauderdale. The entire experience was EXCELLENT. They were extremely knowledgeable, very patient with our requests and everyone looked amazing at the wedding. We had over 30 tuxes rented from them for this day and everything was exactly how it was supposed to be. Many of our guests were from out of town and did their fittings at their local tuxedo shops, submitted their measurements and picked up when they arrived. If you're considering using southern formals for your event-- DO IT!!!!! Will be back for many more years to come. Thank you southern formals for making our men look AMAZING! read more

This is a truly wonderful business. I needed a tux same day for a last minute wedding on New Year's Eve. Chip set me up in 2 hours with a tux that fit perfectly and looked wonderful. I hope I can give them more of a heads up next time but when I was I a bind they really helped me out! read more

I was in desperate need on a Wednesday for a tuxedo for my husband for a formal event on Friday and Southern Formals was more than accommodating!
