How To Buy A Prom Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

Besides finding a date, buying or renting a tuxedo is the hardest part of going to prom. This is because as a teenager you have probably never even had to wear a tuxedo yet.

I wrote this article to shed some light on the tuxedo acquiring process. You will learn about the important basics such as colors, measurements, and some other issues you need to know about.

The first area to consider is where to get your tuxedo. If at all possible you really should rent or buy your tuxedo. Wearing a brothers, friends, or parents tuxedo will not give you the perfect fit you need to achieve.

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 color of your vest should be a color that matches your dates. Make sure to bring a swatch of the dress to your sales representative to help him find you the best choice.

Accessories can be difficult to put on for a newbie. Make sure you pay careful attention to what the sales person is saying when he gives you instructions on putting items like studs and cuff links onto your shirt.

Finally be sure to get your prom tuxedo as early as possible. This needs to be done early because you will be competing with your classmates for the tuxedos each shop have.

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.
