PROM TIPS

That Calvin Klein prom suit sure looks tempting, but first read your tips on buying a prom suit! You have some decisions to make. You know the Calvin Klein looks 'the business' a handsome, two buttoned tuxedo maybe, with satiny lapels, you can probably afford to hire something like it even if you can't afford the real thing, but here's decision number one. Are you going to rent or buy and how do you decide?

Well guys, it might seem like there's a lot of issues to consider on this one, but there aren't. Let's face it, your prom date must decide! You invested a lot of time and effort into asking her to the prom and complimenting her and now you have a beautiful date. Make no mistake, she has invested everything she's got into this one crucial night of glamour and she's going to want a smart prom date to match! Her hair will be glossy, her teeth pearly white, her make-up flawless, her prom dress expensive, her jewellery classy and her purse, accessories and shoes co-ordinated perfectly. She wants your presentation to be the same, a smart handsome foil to her beauty, so the top tip has to be, to be guided by her.

Buy your prom suit if you honestly think you will have occasion to wear it again. But bear in mind that the sort of dressy suit you will wear to a prom is not the same sort of suit you will wear to a job interview, or even to a graduation. If you intend to aim for the top in your career and attend glitzy events, high-class weddings or the college ball, a Calvin Klein type investment may be worth it.

If this special prom night is important to you and you really want to shine without breaking the bank, consider hiring a designer-type classic tuxedo. You may feel that it will be a few long years before you are ready to invest this type of effort into an event again and that the cost of buying can't be justified until graduation. That's fine - you can still look gorgeous in up to the minute designer fashion if you use a classy formal hire outlet. Your prom date will hug you for it, too. Top tip here - get your order in early and do your designer research first.

One important tip is to think in advance how you will care for your formal hire prom suit. If your plan is to 'let your hair down' and party with friends rather than attend to a special lady all evening, then you run the risk of ruining the suit, perhaps with beer, smoke or dubious illness spills. You will risk paying a heavy expensive penalty on the deposit. If on the other hand, you will be concentrating on courteously socialising with the classy girl you are honoured to have acompany you - and her glamorous friends, they will understand. Hopefully, you will get lots of compliments from them, have your picture taken and receive lots of advice about the suit!

No doubt they will watch where you sit, advise you to keep the hanger and packaging in tact and handy, keep a clothes brush close by and hide a couple of clean kerchiefs in the pockets ready to dab any light spills with plain cold water. The lucky guy who is the centre of attention in his sharp two-buttoned designer look suit will also probably get a stray hair or crumb brushed from his lapel from time to time throughout the evening! And he will have lots of great memories!
