Winter Formal is not only a magical dance, but it also comes during the busiest time of year. So, we have created a checklist and style guide for you to make it a little bit easier!
-
Buy Your Tickets
We are big believers in being prepared, so it is best to buy your tickets sooner rather than later. You don’t want to wait until the last minute and risk them being sold out.

Pick Out Your Fashion
When it comes to your suit and tuxedo look, it is good to keep a few things in mind:
You can rent or buy your look: only need it for the night? Great, we have you covered. Want more bang for your buck? Then buy your look – that way you can use the same tuxedo or suit for the next dance and making it different by wearing new accessories.
Always get the jacket: we know, you might be thinking: “I’m just going to take it off when we dance” but think about it…if it gets cold, you might not want it on but your date might. You’re welcome for this pro tip.
This Year's Suit + Tuxedo Trends:
Two-Toned/Mix + Match
This is when you have one color for your coat, and a different color for your pants to create one seamless and chic look. Like these examples below:
Burgundy Velvet Coat + Café Brown Pants
Monochromatic Looks
We love monochromatic looks, this is when you wear the same color, tone, or shade to create your look. This can be within your own personal look, or how you match with your date like these awesome looks:
All-white coat + pants to match the gorgeous white & silver shimmering gown
Ivory Paisley + caramel pants + gold velvet bow tie to match the gold & champagne baroque gown
Steel Blue coat + pants + royal velvet bow tie to complement the royal blue gown
Colors + Textures
Now this we are BIG BIG fans of – and our product gallery proves it. Velvets, patterns, bold colors – we got it all! Wear it as the main feature of your look, or in your accessories…whichever way you wear it we know you will make it pop!
