Prom Tuxedo Ideas

When it comes to prom outfits girls have countless possibilities. On the other hand, boys have very little choice. Most guys have never worn a formal outfit until prom and they don’t even know the difference between a tuxedo and a suit. Furthermore, there are certain accessories and tricks that you can use in order to add a touch of style to any prom outfit. We hope that you will find our prom tuxedo ideas to be both inspiring and informative.

• Tuxedos and suits

The main difference between a tuxedo and a suit is satin. Tuxedos have satin on the buttons, lapels, pocket trim as well as a satin side stripe down the leg of the trousers. Although suits are acceptable for most formal events, tuxedos are the best choice for prom. If you believe that tuxedos are old fashioned you should take a look at the latest red carpet events where male celebrities rock some awesome tuxedos. As for footwear, we know you may want to wear some cool shoes for boys, but your choices are quite limited here; the design on your shoes has to be rather classical, the color is necessarily black, and if you want to make a good impression, definitely made of leather.

• Color combinations

Most tuxedos are either black or gray and are worn with white shirts. Most guys don’t like to experiment with fashion and they stick with traditional tuxedos. However, if you want to make a stunning appearance you might want to check out some other prom tuxedo ideas. For example, you could wear a white tuxedo with a black shirt. A white tuxedo would also work great with a red vest or a red shirt. Avoid an all white appearance unless you want to look like a groom.

• Matching the girl’s outfit

A tuxedo can be worn with either a tie or a bow tie. If you choose to wear a bow tie we suggest that you choose a simple, black one. As far as ties go, the possibilities are endless. You can basically choose any color for your tie and it would look very classy if you matched your tie color with the color of your date’s dress. You can either ask her about her dress or ask her friends and surprise her. If you plan on wearing a pocket handkerchief, it is essential that it matches your tie.

These are the main things that you need to keep in when picking a tuxedo. We hope that our prom tuxedo ideas have convinced you that you are never to young to have style. Furthermore keep in mind that prom is also a rite of passage into adulthood. Therefore, on this special night, you need to let go of your childish fashion choices and display some sophisticated style.
