Tuxedo Accessories and ideas for prom night

Congrats guys, you've made it to prom night and there are lots of things to think about! Remember to coordinate what you will be wearing with your date's dress. After all, formal wear for guys is not as complicated as it is for girls. Here are some ideas and guidelines to get you into the prom groove. There are a lot of ways to let your style shine through with the tux or suit you are wearing. Consider, if you are wearing a tux, the length of your jacket, the color and of course; what to wear underneath, either a vest, tie, or oxford. This will be your signature look for the evening.

Remember to contact your date and co-ordinate your wardrobe with hers. Find out what type of color and material she is planning to wear and if she has any preferences for your tux style. You will be amazed how valuable her advice can be! Consider co-coordinating a cummerbund or tie. This will add a really cool touch to your whole prom look and your date will love you forever for it!

Guys, it is ok to be trendy, too. Here are a few details for you to consider. How about a great smooth set of cufflinks or a funky lapel pin? Bow ties are your traditional choice but regular neckties look terrific as well. A vest will always look good and cummerbunds add a classy touch to your outfit. Take a cue from celebrity re-carpet style and go monochromatic (all one color) to add that unexpected splash of color to the prom. Finally, the little details such as your hair, cologne, or accessories do count. Remember gents to not wear too much cologne. It can be over powering. Have your hair trimmed a week before the prom and try styling it a few different ways. Try some tuxedo accessories such as hats, jewelry, watches, and of course, don't forget, great shoes will make you the man of the prom!
