Prom Tuxedo Tips

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 will give you a better idea of what to look for when getting your prom tuxedo. After reading this article you will know about measurements, colors, and a few other areas you need to be familiar with.

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.

Getting measured can be easily achieved by going to a professional rental company or sales organization. The measurements that should be taken are your neck, chest, waist, arm length, and inseam.

Black is your safest color and will most likely be worn by 99.9% of your fellow classmates. Standing out from your classmates can come in the form of almost any color.

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.

You are now prepared to make your way to the tuxedo shop in confidence. Place this page in your bookmarks and you will never go wrong. - 16459
