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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When renting make sure you get to the rental vendor as soon as you know your prom date. You need to get your tuxedo before the other kids rent the best ones first.
