Maybe I'm off base, but for #10 formal clothing rentals, if people are dressing up less often, wouldn't it make more sense to rent a suit or tux for an event than to spend several (or more) times that amount for something you won't wear again or could go out of fashion/no longer fit when the next opportunity arises?

More accurate is probably "less people are dressing up." Those that are dressing up are buying. I bought a tux for less than twice the cost of a rental
