How To Buy A Prom Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

The number one priority when it comes to prom preparation is the acquisition of a prom tuxedo. However, this can be a challenging undertaking for anyone who has never actually worn a tux before.

This article was written to help people new to the tuxedo arena find that perfect tux. You will read about issues such as measurements and colors.

First, you need to decide the source of your prom tuxedo. I recommend that you do not borrow one from a neighbor, friend, brother, or parent. These people will probably not be an exact match when it comes to measurements and you may look silly.

Make certain that you get correct measurements taken before you look at anything. Get the proper numbers for your waist, chest, neck, arm length, and inseam. Having these numbers in advance will save you from looking at tuxedos that will not fit you.

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.

Vest colors should coincide with the color of your dates dress. Ensure these colors match up by bringing a piece of material from the dress to the tuxedo shop you buy or rent from.

Pay close attention to the details of how each piece needs to be put on when wearing your tuxedo. Make an effort to learn how and where to put studs and cuff links so that it is easy when the big day comes.

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.

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. - 16732
