The months are going by quickly and before you know it, it will be
prom time. A lot of the guys that we see who are going to prom don't really
know what they want to wear and aren't sure when they should come in to look at
styles, but that's where we come in. Here is a guide for any of you who are
planning on going to prom or for those of you who know someone who is
attending.
1. You don't have to wait last minute to
pick out your tuxedo.
Honestly there is no such thing as too
early. The prom months are also the height of wedding season for us, so if you
choose styles early you end up beating the rush. That does not mean that you
will be unable to change styles later. A lot of the guys we work with during
prom are going with a date and they usually want to match their vest and tie to
her dress color. If she does not have her dress yet, you can pick out your
tuxedo and choose a vest and tie color at a later time. This way you have
already been measured and have the majority of your styles so that we can just
order your garments right away and you can just pick your colors and be done
with it. This brings me to my next point.
2. Bring a swatch.
If your intention is to match the colors
of her dress as closely as possible, then bring a piece of the dress. It does
not have to be a swatch exactly; it could be just a strap of the dress or even
a tiny piece of fabric. We have a lot of the guys during prom who will have a
picture of the dress on their phone when they come into the store but you have
to be aware that the color will look different on camera than in person. Don't
get me wrong, this approach can also work but if you want the colors to be exact
we will need to see the color of the fabric. Bring your date with you to pick
out the color if need be, that way you can both find a good color match that
you agree on.
3. Yes, we can do last minute orders.
Every year we have guys come in just days before
their proms. Sometimes they get invited last minute or decide later on that
they want to attend and that is completely fine. We do this every year thus far
and we will make sure you get the look you want for prom no matter when you
come in. Of course if you don't have to come in last minute we would still like
for you to come early.
4. Pick what you like.
When the guys from prom come into our
store, they are not always sure of what they want. That's ok because we go over
the styles and fits of the tuxedos with you when you come in. We want you to be
happy with how you look when you go to prom. So if you aren't sure of what look
you are going for just be aware that we go over everything with you when you
come in.
5. We have a fitting for a reason.
Before you leave the store with your
tuxedo we are going to have you try everything on. This is because we want to
make sure everything fits correctly and we need time to get replacements if
necessary. When you get measured for your tuxedo at your first fitting we may
even have you try garments on. This way we know for a fact that your tuxedo
will fit you before the actual tuxedo is in the store. It makes your second
fitting a lot quicker and smoother so you can be in and out of the store
knowing everything fits you well.
6. Have fun.
It's your prom. Relax, have fun, if you are not comepletely sure about what you need to do to pick out your tuxedo we will walk you through it.
