Guide To The Prom Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

When it comes to prom, obtaining a prom tuxedo is the number one area of concern, besides finding a date of course. The reason for this is because the average young man has not gotten a chance to wear a tuxedo yet.

This article was written to help people new to the tuxedo arena find that perfect tux. You will read about issues such as measurements and colors.

Well intentioned friends and relatives will try to lend you an old tuxedo that they once wore. I recommend you politely tell these people that you would rather get one on your own. This will save you the embarrassment of wearing a tux that does not quite fit.

The first thing to do after deciding to purchase or buy is to get proper measurements taken. Make sure to get numbers for your neck, waist, chest, inseam, and arm length.

The color you choose should be black when trying to fit in with everyone else. When attempting to be different you can go with a more subtle change like midnight blue or gray or a flashy distinction like white.

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.

The sales representative can and will explain to you how to properly wear your cuff links and studs. Pay attention to this man or woman when he/she does.

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.

As always thank you for reading my article on the prom tuxedo. Bookmark this page and refer back to it before venturing out to purchase or rent your next prom tux. - 16755
