Before We Get Started...

There are some very specific questions to ask yourself:

  • Do I want to rent my look or own it?
  • Do I want to go classic or trendy?
  • (If you are going with a date) What color is my date wearing?
Now, don't worry - if you are unsure the answers to these questions we are here to help.  But they are questions to think about before coming in, to help your style session go perfectly.

Picking out a jacket is fun.  Here you get to really decide the base of the style you want to have at prom.  Do you want to be in a classic neutral like a black or navy tuxedo?  How about a traditionally cool grey suit? Or you can go bold with your coat fashion choice, with a fun patterned coat like our Black Paisley Tuxedo. Or our personal favorite fashion choice: the velvet collection!  

*Isn’t the Green Velvet Tuxedo below just dreamy?

Now the second step might seem simple, but there are a few more options than you think.  When it comes to picking out the pants for your look, you have 2 choices.

  1. Picking pants the same color as your coat.  
  2. Or you can do something a more fun like a mix-and-match look.  (This when you have a different color coat and pant – like a paisley coat and burgundy pants.)
