What to wear at prom night
it’s time to focus on what guys should wear! You might assume that since you’re going to prom that you should run out and rent a tuxedo, right? While that is a viable option, it’s not your only option. Furthermore, if you do rent a tux, you can always dress it up and individualize it to your personal taste.
Second, find some cool cuff links to embellish your cuffs. Go for a little bling, if you like or find a cool geometric shapes or a color that matches your date’s dress. Cuff links can be as fun as you’d like and you don’t have to get pre-approval from your date. They won’t show up for the pictures, so your creative flair is safe for the up close and personal shots.
Third, lose the stuffy little bow tie. Would you ever wear one of these in your life otherwise? I don’t think so. It’s part of the tux, so you wear it, right? Anyway, you’re free to wear a silk tie of your choice — you can have fun here guys! If you hate ties, cut loose and go without. Yep, that’s what I said…go without a tie. Leave the top button or two open (don’t go too low, it’s not the ’70s) for a more relaxed look.
Finally, with your tux you have choices for a vest. Either are perfectly acceptable. Choose one that matches and/or complements your date’s dress and your tie and you’re good to go!
Before you even consider your tuxedo options, check with your date about the color and material of her dress and if she has any preferences on your tux style (you would be surprised at the fashion advice your girl has to give!). A coordinating cummerbund or tie adds a very cool touch to your whole prom look; plus your date will be thrilled.
It isn’t good to go completely trendy (powder blue polyester suits from the ’70s do not make good memories). But try these small, trendy details:
Smooth cufflinks or a funky lapel trim.
Bow ties are the traditional choice, but regular neckties look sharp as well.
A vest always looks good, but a cummerbund adds a classy touch.
Take a cue from celebrity red-carpet style and don a monochromatic (all one color) look or add an unexpected splash of color.
You may not think that things like your hair, cologne, or accessories matter too much, but they really make or break your entire look.
If you decide to abandon the whole tux idea, it is perfectly acceptable to wear a traditional suit to prom. In fact, you have a lot more options if you go this route. Besides that, you’ll be out of high school soon so you can’t go wrong purchasing a suit. You’ll probably need one for interviews (school and job), public affairs, and dates. So why not invest the money now?!?
You can apply any of the alterations I mentioned above for a tux to a suit. Now you’re all set to customize your outfit to your liking. If you have questions, leave a comment here. I’ll be happy to help!
