TOP TIPS FOR PROM NIGHT STYLE

Prom night is a special occasion filled with excitement, glamour, and memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. So, you may want some prom night style tips. Luckily for you, we’ve got you covered!

Make sure your suit is the right fit

Properly fitted clothing is key to a polished appearance. Whether you opt for a suit or a tuxedo, ensure it is tailored to your body shape. Avoid outfits that are too loose or too tight.

Coordinate with your date (or friends)

If you have a date for prom or are taking a friend, coordinate your colours! Choose colours and styles that harmonise without being overly matchy-matchy. This is a fun way of styling your suit, and it will look great in those anticipated prom night photographs.

Take pride in your appearance (and cleanliness) 

Prom night only happens once! Make sure you’re smelling and looking fresh for the occasion. Before the big event, get a new haircut and make sure your facial hair is cleanly clipped or shaved. If you have a lot of facial hair, make sure you have thoroughly groomed and cleaned it.

Go in with confidence 

It’s true when they say confidence is key. When you feel and look confident, it radiates through your presence and enhances your overall appearance.
