Classic or statement?
Make black your own
An all-black look is easy to personalize. Match your bow tie, tie or pocket square to your date's dress, whether it's red, emerald, royal blue or lavender, and you'll look coordinated in every photo.
For a bolder take, wear a black shirt with a black tie. Polished black shoes finish any of these looks, and a white pocket square adds a crisp touch.
Questions
- Tuxedo or suit? A tuxedo has satin on the lapels and usually satin trim, the most formal choice for prom. A black suit has plain lapels and is easier to wear again for graduation or interviews.
- How do I find my size? Use our size guide: your chest measurement gives your jacket size, and the pants come 6 inches smaller and unhemmed.
- How fast will it arrive? Orders ship in 1–3 business days with free US shipping. Order about 3 weeks before prom to leave time for hemming.
Velvet, satin or studs?
Satin is the classic tux finish: smooth lapels and trim that catch a little light. Velvet adds a soft, rich texture that looks best at evening events and in cooler months. Studs, sequins and paisley turn a black tux into a statement while keeping the color easy to match.
Not sure which way to go? Start with the look your date is planning. A simple black tux balances a dramatic dress, and a statement jacket balances a simple one.
