Fun for Prom Night
Waltham, MA, May 7, 2003 - Young men around the country are
dressing for the prom. For most young men, this means
shopping for a tuxedo. A bit dressy for a teenager you
might say, but with the accessory options available for
formalwear today, guys can create a fun and uniquely
different prom night look.
Because there are so many
formalwear options to consider today, a young man may need
to consult someone about what is appropriate
to wear. Bill Tzizik, owner of Classic Tuxedo, suggests that
the key to looking good in a tuxedo is to get educated about
the styles available, personalize the look and have fun with
it. Renting formalwear for the prom is made fun and easy when
the looks become a distinctive interpretation of the students'
generation. Spring 2003 styles provide youthfulness as evidenced
by the FUBU tuxedo collection. One of the hottest names in
street wear, FUBU brings its unique lifestyle to the formalwear
scene.
One of the most popular looks for
prom is the FUBU black-on-black shadow striped, four-button
notch lapel tuxedo with signature
FUBU buttons. With a broad shoulder and 35" length jacket,
the look provides an easy fit with elegant styling. You can
pair the jacket with matching striped trousers or solid black
if you prefer. Accented with FUBU's signature vest and neckwear
available in charcoal, black or platinum, the look becomes
city smart. Bill Tzizik, owner and operator of the Classic
Tuxedo retail store chain, said, "In addition to the hot
new four-button jackets, two and three button closure tuxedo
jackets continue to be popular choices at prom time." Monsieur
Givenchy, a new designer available in the local tuxedo rental
market for 2003, succeeds in capturing the popularity of the
multi-button look with his new rental tuxedo that features
an exquisitely tailored two-button, single-breasted, black,
satin notch lapel design.
The multi-button tuxedo jacket trend
gets a burst of color with The Barrington from Chaps by Ralph
Lauren. Platinum in color, it features a three-button, 32" long
single-breasted jacket, sure to be a stand out on prom night.
For more traditional styles, guys can choose a single or double-breasted
peak, notch or shawl lapel tuxedo. Perry Ellis offers a classic
single-breasted peak that provides a distinctive formal look
when accented with a contemporary full back vest and tie. And
for a breezy, spring look: The Prado by After Six, a white,
three-button single-breasted notch lapel tuxedo, is fun and
eye-catching.
You can even make a strong fashion statement with your choice
of tuxedo trousers. The new alternative to the pleated front
formal trouser is the non-pleated trouser, which features a
flat, smooth front design. The satin side stripe gives this
pant its formal flair.
No matter which style tuxedo
you choose to express yourself, don't forget to make it your
own with accessories! With the
traditional cummerbund and bow tie looks becoming passé,
vests are eplacing cummerbunds as the "must have" accessory.
Fullback styling, now in rental, mimics expensive vests previously
available only for purchase. Cutting edge, The Bellagio Vest
Collection by Mel Howard, features subtle sharkskin fabric
with barely noticed nailhead design in 13 colors, sure to coordinate
with any date's prom dress. The high button front vest complements
new neckwear styles. Bow ties can be replaced with the euro
tie (similar to a necktie but features a fancy wrapped knot
and an adjustable band that wraps around the neck) for a fresh
look. A collar enhancer (a satin band worn around the neck
with a button cover attached) or a solitaire jewelry button
cover available in gold, silver and rhinestone can also be
an alternative to the classic bow tie.
Bill Tzizik of Classic
Tuxedo said, "You can complete your look with a traditional
white wing collar shirt or add a contemporary twist of color
with Tallia Uomo's new rey, microfiber non-pleated, laydown
collar shirt that's as soft and comfortable as it can get." And
for the who wants to look great down to his toes, a new matt
finish, box toe tip shoe with lace-up closure is perfect for
hitting the dance floor.
When shopping for a tuxedo, students
can visit their local formalwear specialists or surf the internet.
