Prom Tuxedos and Accessories

Next to graduation, attending the prom is probably one of the most important nights in a high schooler’s life. Because of this it is important that they dress properly for the occasion, wearing the appropriate tuxedo as well as the appropriate accessories.

The Tuxedo

A typical prom tuxedo consists of either three or four pieces. These include: the tuxedo trousers, the tuxedo shirt and vest, and the tuxedo jacket. Typically in tuxedos, the coloring of the jacket and pants always match; while the vest is a complementing color and the shirt is white. For a truly classic prom look, stick with black tuxedo pants and jacket and match the color of your vest to the color of your date’s dress.

The Accessories

For those looking to jazz up their prom tuxedo there are a few different accessories which can help. These types of accessories include: suspenders, bow ties, ties, cuff links, pocket squares, cummerbunds and shoes.

Mix and matching these accessories with your tuxedo can help you to stand out from everyone else. Should the coloring of your prom tuxedo mainly be black, selecting a brighter color for your accessories can be a great way to add a splash of color. Additionally, the use of accessories can be a great way to complement your dates outfit.

In addition to these classical accessories, in some social circles having a hat and cane is a very popular choice for spicing up a prom tuxedo.
