Ten Tips to Look FABULOUS in Your Prom Tuxedo
Copyright © 2008 Janine Giorgenti
So your big day is finally here. This is your chance
to dress to impress your date, your friends and your
classmates. So, don't blow it! These pictures will haunt
you to your grave. Use these ten tips to help you attain
a look on prom night that you will be proud of for years
to come.
1) Let your personality shine! Just because
you have to dress in a tux doesn't mean it must be the
traditional, boring penguin suit. Dress up your tux
with accessories that reflect your personal style. Don't
be afraid to set the trend! Try a unique tux shirt and
adorn it with a cool-looking vest and tie. For the quintessential
"Always one in the crowd" personality, a top
hat, gloves and cane will do the trick.
2) Show your true colors! Unlike many formal
affairs, prom night is a festive event at which you
can exhibit your flair by wearing interesting colors
in your tie, vest or cummerbund. Remember...If you really
want to score big with your date, coordinate your accessories
with the color of her dress. What woman could resist
a man who thinks of her?
3) Sweet old memories. Remember, these pictures
will last a lifetime, literally. The wrong outfit could
cause years of embarrassment. So don't choose something
silly, tacky or over-the-top just to get a laugh out
of your friends. Trust me, your mother will have this
picture on the mantel for years to come.
4) The fitting image! The tux must fit properly.
In a nutshell: Too big and it looks like you are wearing
your dad's clothes; too tight, and it looks like it
shrank while you were wearing it. The tuxedo should
fit comfortably without pulling, puckering, sagging
or drooping.
5) Accessories add the finishing touch. Finish
off the look of your tuxedo with the right accessories,
which include a vest or cummerbund, tie or bow tie,
tuxedo shirt, tuxedo shoes, pocket square, cufflinks
and studs and the right hosiery.
6) The "do." A great haircut can make
the look. It does you no good to get all dressed
up if your hair is a mess. The week before the big day,
get your hair cut and then play around with it to make
sure you get the look you want for the prom.
7) When a little bling is required. Tuxedo shirts
require cufflinks and studs. Here is where you can flaunt
your personal taste, by choosing from simple gold knots
to gorgeous inlays. You don't have to spend a fortune.
Unless the set is under a jeweler's loupe, costume cufflinks
and studs will achieve the same look.
8) Remember what Mama said! Make sure that you
have your tux pressed, clean and ready to go on prom
night. Don't leave it crumpled on your closet floor
or the back seat of your car. Wrinkles, spots and creases
will ruin your look.
9) To "tie" for. The four-in hand tie
is a great look, but you may need some practice
to get the perfect knot. A week before, have Dad or
a friend show you how, so you don't have last-minute
stress. We suggest a pre-tie for the bow tie as the
real deal is very tricky and requires patience and practice.
10) Remember Fred Astaire? Your tuxedo will
require tuxedo shoes. These are different from your
regular day shoes. They are shiny patent leather. To
ward off prom night blisters, wear them a little a few
days before to get used to them and break them in.
Enjoy and have fun!
So enjoy yourself and have the time of your life!
Just remember... don't wait until the last minute. Plan
ahead one or two months prior to your prom to give yourself
time to get the look you want.
