Prom Outfits for Young Men

With prom season around the corner, you may be wondering what outfits for guys are stylish or how to avoid common prom tux mistakes. This guide will give you ideas on choosing your prom attire and make a statement about your style. 

Suit vs. Tuxedo – What Should I Wear to Prom? 

If you’re asking yourself whether to wear a suit or tuxedo to prom, the good news is that there’s no hard and fast rule. Your personal preferences and the look you want to achieve are essential when choosing between a tux and a suit. 

SuitsSuits are versatile, modern, and easy to accessorize. If you want a casual, fresh look, a suit is excellent. 

Tuxedos – The tuxedo respects tradition but allows you to add your personal flair to an old-school style. You can fuse a classic look with modern fashion and your tastes to make an impression. 

How to Choose a Prom Tuxedo or Prom Suit 

At Culwell & Son, you will find not only an extensive collection of prom suits and tuxedos, but you will also find personalization and attention to detail. When you shop with us, you can rest assured knowing that your sales associate will ask the right questions and pay attention to your style and form when helping you select suitable formal wear.

Our goal is to make sure you stay sharp, gentlemen, and we will do our best to help you select a suit or tux that reflects your style and fits your budget. We go over every detail to ensure you are satisfied, stylish, and confident in your prom attire. With over 100 years of experience dressing men for success, we know how to pull a look together that will impress you and your friends. 

The Color 

One of the first considerations for choosing your prom tux or suit is the color. Young men have a lot of leeways when choosing their prom attire, so going either classic or bold is acceptable. Black, blue, or gray formal wear is classic and will easily complement your friends’ or date’s attire. If you’re preparing to make a statement, you can do it with a bold suit or tux, or you can still choose a classic color and make your statement with your shirt or accessories. 

The Fit 

While you are shopping, our experienced sales associate can help you determine the best fit and style for your suit or tuxedo. We also have in-house tailoring to make sure your suit or tux accentuates your figure correctly, so you are comfortable dancing and look sharp for pictures.

Accessories 

Culwell & Son has you covered whether you want a bow tie or a necktie, a classic white shirt or a colored shirt, or need a little help matching your pocket square or shoes. We will help you match your accessories to complete your look, so you are confident and prepared for the night ahead.

Is it acceptable to wear a suit to prom?

There are no rules on whether you should wear a suit or tuxedo to prom; really, the decision lies on what look you're going for. Suits are modern, easy to accessorize, and can always be reworn on other occasions! Tuxedos are more elegant, characterized by satin details and a classic, vintage appeal.

What boys should wear to prom?

The traditional prom look for guys is all the same: a black (or sometimes white) tuxedo rented from a local formalwear shop. If you have a dark suit that fits well and is in good quality, you can also wear this, too. Just make sure it's clean and pressed so you look your best.

What should you not wear to prom?

Jeans or sweatpants are way, way too casual no matter how relaxed your prom is. This rule applies to guys and girls alike. Camouflage – Even if you're a wallflower, no one wants to disappear that badly. In fact, wearing camouflage is likely to get you noticed but not in a good way.
