Suit looks timeless and classy. Theme your button up and tie to your date's dress. Find out which color dress she is wearing. Choose a tie that matches it in either color or general appearance. Then choose a nice button-down dress shirt that compliments that color well.

That process works every time, plus you get an excuse to buy a new tie and shirt. Cannot really have enough of them.





To me, tuxedos always looks like cheesy rentals. Always.



For God's sake don't wear a collarless shirt again.

When you have a chance to wear a bow tie, you wear a bow tie.

Everyone wears suits at my school, lame.

I'm doing tux because everyone else at my school is doing tux, and god knows I can't think for myself.

im doing a suit again.  i cant justify spending $100+ to wear someone elses clothes for a few hours, then give them back, especially for a highschool dance, and doubly especially when a have a nice suit of my own to wear. 

last year at prom, i told my then gf that i wasnt going to wear a tux to prom, she said it was ok.  then a couple days before prom she said "when you said you werent wearing a tux, you were kidding, right?"
when i told her i was serious, she said something about how im going to be the only one there who isnt in a tux and that i will stand out, like that was a bad thing.

I did. Class of '07 graduate in '06. But they allow early graduates to go to prom.

DD214 for knee cap out of place, they would not let me complete basic, so I spent 12 weeks there for nothing. Not really something I wanted to readily announce to the forum because people will be like "Oh you quit!" but since i was asked. I don't like being labeled a quiter when I hate no say in the matter.


And TKD, trust me, no more collarless.. its a button down with a tie I just bought yesterday. Matches her dress.

I got away with not wearing ANY kind of tie for my wedding.   

Since we already had so many Irish-themed stuff incorporated into the wedding, my wife suggested all the guys wear Barong Tagalogs to bring some Pinoy to the mix.

Rented black pants, wore my steel-toed wingtips, white T-shirt and the Barong. Most comfortable wedding ever.

I suggest you pretend to the Filipino for the day.
