Mens Wear

Most school proms are formal occasions and the usual dress for the guys is a tuxedo (they have tuxedos for girls also).   If it is a little less dressy occassion a suit or sport coat will do. 

What is best for you?
Tuxedo rental, for the most part, is the easiest way to go.  You go in (early), get fitted, pay your deposit, pick the tuxedo up before the prom or dance, try it on, pay the balance, wear it to the event, and then return it.  There are a whole myriad of styles, color, and options and you can feel like a king for a day. Tuxedo rental will fit the bill for the formal prom and, in the case that you do not own a suit, it will also fit the bill for a less dressy occasion.

There are Options
If you are attending more that one prom, you might consider buying a tuxedo.  Some of the mens wear shops do sell tuxedos and although this might be a little more expensive in the beginning, it might well be less expensive in the long run.

You might also consider buying a dressy suit that would fit the bill for the prom and them you will have the suit to use on other occasions in the future.

Some of the more unusual options that we have seen at proms include custom made suits that match the material of the date's dress, sixties style "costumes", and styles from the forties.  All of these will take quite a bit of planning and work to come off well.

Fashion Show
Some of the menswear shops may well will set up a menswear show at your school.  This will heighten the excitement for the upcoming prom and give you an idea of what is available. You should contact a few different companies to see what is available.

We have listed below menswear outlets that cater for prom nights.
