Now that the subject of what not to wear for prom (See the article here) has been dealt with, we thought it’d be a good idea to leave you with some advice on HOW TO SUIT-UP!
We have listed 8 ways to stand out for prom night, the last one is our favorite.
Let’s go
#1 ”James Bond”
This is a classic, at prom most guys opt for a conservative style in shades of black and white. How can you stand out with this type of look? First, you must choose a suit adjusted to your measurements (most important tip). Then it is interesting to go with a bow tie rather than a tie. Finally, you must take the time to match your pocket square and your shirt. Small details make all the difference.
#2 ”the turtleneck”
Although this is probably not the best idea with temperature (you can always cut the sleeves ?), matching a suit with a turtleneck is very trendy. Here, the colour match of burgundy and beige is a bold choice that gives a fabulous result, a wise choice for a person with a darker skin tone.
#3 ”pastel colors”
Pastel colors give a summery look. It’s a smart choice considering that most graduations happen in the summer. To wear this look, you must be comfortable with being different and assume it 100%. Do not opt for this option if you are not comfortable with people staring.
#4 ”casual vibe”
Mixing professional & street style gives a young and trendy result. To achieve it, you must arrange your suit with a T-shirt, jeans (ripped if possible) and sneakers. This option is interesting especially for sneaker lovers, this is an opportunity to put on your most exclusive pair!
#5 ”flashy suit”
This look is for those who want to go 100% all-in(one of our favorites BTW). With this kind of suit, you are making sure that no one will show up with the same look as you. Tip: It is mandatory to remain conservative with your shirt and shoes (stay in black or white), you don’t want to drive away the attention from the suit.
#6 ”mix n match”
Mixing a suit top with a different pair of pants is an art itself. It is far from easy but when you do it well it can give very impressive results. Notice to those who do not like to shop for hours and hours, this option is not for you.
#7 ”our favorite”
Where to start? This outfit is absolutely gorgeous. Firstly a striped suit, besides being very trendy, gives you an ultra professional look. Then, the choice to mix the professional vibe with a more trashy look (here with the off-white belt) is pure genius. Finally, we remind you that small details make all the difference! Did you notice that he was not wearing a tie? And that he carries a small cross on his collar?
If you had only one thing to remember from this article, it is to take the time to find a well-adjusted suit. You could have it adjusted by a tailor, trust us it would be well-invested money! Usually, a store selling suits and respecting itself will have a tailor on site.
