Guide To The Prom Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

Besides finding a date, buying or renting a tuxedo is the hardest part of going to prom. This is because as a teenager you have probably never even had to wear a tuxedo yet.

This article will give you a better idea of what to look for when getting your prom tuxedo. After reading this article you will know about measurements, colors, and a few other areas you need to be familiar with.

First, you need to decide the source of your prom tuxedo. I recommend that you do not borrow one from a neighbor, friend, brother, or parent. These people will probably not be an exact match when it comes to measurements and you may look silly.

Make certain that you get correct measurements taken before you look at anything. Get the proper numbers for your waist, chest, neck, arm length, and inseam. Having these numbers in advance will save you from looking at tuxedos that will not fit you.

Black is your safest color and will most likely be worn by 99.9% of your fellow classmates. Standing out from your classmates can come in the form of almost any color.

The vest will need to match your dates dress in terms of color. Achieve this perfectly by bringing a swatch or even the whole dress to the place you rent or buy your tux from.

Accessories can be difficult to put on for a newbie. Make sure you pay careful attention to what the sales person is saying when he gives you instructions on putting items like studs and cuff links onto your shirt.

Lastly make sure you look for your prom tuxedo as soon as you know you are going to prom. Your area will have many other kids looking for tuxedos and you want to be first so you can get the best pick.
