THE CAMPUS STORES HAVE PARTNERED WITH SUITABLE ATTIRE.
Suitable Attire let’s you rent, buy, or rent-to-own designer-quality suits and separates for job interviews, internships and special events.
Their suits are also sold as separates, so you have the flexibility to choose just the pieces you want, based on your personal style and needs. Order a suit jacket and two pairs of pants, for example, or a jacket with a skirt and pants. Or maybe you need just a single piece: a skirt or a pair of pants. Whatever your professional clothing needs might be, they can help.

Receiving Your Suit or Separates
All orders placed by 1 p.m. ET Monday – Friday will be processed and shipped within two business days from the date of order. Shipping times depend on your location, but regular shipping usually takes three to five days. Expedited shipping is available for an extra fee if you need your order more quickly. Please see the shipping table for more information about shipping times and costs for expedited shipping.
Inspect the clothing and try it on as soon as possible after you receive it so you can arrange an exchange if necessary. If the clothing has been damaged during shipping or doesn’t fit properly, contact our Customer Service team at 800-321-3883 or chat to arrange an exchange. Notify us of your intent to return or exchange within 15 days of the date your order was shipped to you. We will process your exchange within 3 business days from the time we receive it, and send your replacement item(s), covering the cost of shipping. You can expect your exchanged item to arrive within 5-7 business days of receiving our "your item has shipped" confirmation email.
If you do not receive the suit or separates you ordered by the expected date, immediately contact Customer Service at 800-321-3883 or chat, and we will work with you to track your shipment.
Because you need to return the suit in the same condition as it was received (excluding normal wear and tear), alterations are not to be made to the suit. If significant changes are needed, we encourage you to purchase your suit.
Just keep them! When the return deadline for your rental period passes and we have not received a return from you, we will assume you’d like to keep the item(s), and we will charge you $40 to cover the cost. You will receive an email of the receipt for the purchase of the suit. You can also contact Customer Service at 800-321-3883 to notify us that you would like to convert the rental to a purchase.
Returns And Exchanges
Contact Customer Service at 800-321-3883 or chat to receive authorization to return the item(s). Our representative will provide you with a shipping label and return instructions. You must notify us of your intention to return or exchange items within 15 days of our shipment to you.
Carefully fold and pack the clothes into the original box the suit was shipped to you in. Remove any old labels or cross out old markings, and use postal-quality shipping tape to seal it. Use the return shipping label that will be sent to you in an e-mail near the end of your rental period. Then drop it off at any UPS Access Point™ or The UPS Store®. You can find a location at ups.com/dropoff.
If you no longer have the box, you can return the item(s) in a clean, comparable-sized box that’s sturdy enough for shipping and free of tears, rips, bends, or other damage.
When the return deadline for your rental period passes, and we have not received the items from you, we will assume you decided to keep the item(s), and we will charge you $40 to cover the cost. You will receive an email of the receipt for the purchase of the suit.
If the clothing is returned to Suitable Attire damaged (torn, badly stained, having burn holes, etc.), you will be notified within 10 days of our receipt of the item that you have the option to pay a damage fee of $29 (jacket) or $11 (skirt or slacks), or convert the suit or separates to a purchase after rental by paying a $40 fee. If you don’t respond to the choice, Suitable Attire will charge the lower-cost damage fee to your credit card. If you choose to purchase the clothing, the $40 fee will be charged to your credit card, and the clothing will be mailed back to you at your expense.
No. All suits are inspected and professionally cleaned at the conclusion of the rental period by Suitable Attire.
