The people at your local store can help you there. But once you know what size you need, consider the fit of different garments. For your money, this is a good option for everyone. They are cut to hug the wearer closer around the ribs. These are absolutely the best option for smaller guys, or guys that like a fitted look. These may not be available in plus sizes.

Plain white with a stiff vertical band called a placket in the center where the sides join. The buttonholes will be holes on both sides, fastened with studs rather than sewn-on buttons. Cuffs should be French-style.
The collar can be either a basic point collar like you would see on most good dress shirts or the raised wing-style collar with stiff, elevated points. A plain black bow tie. Take the extra five minutes to learn how to tie one yourself, rather than using a clip-on. It's about as easy as tying your shoes, there's easy how-to guides online if the rental outfit doesn't come with one Wikipedia alone can get you through it , and it'll look much better.
People will notice. You could rent formal pumps to go with the outfit, but if you have a pair of plain black dress shoes of your own I'd recommend shining them up and wearing them instead. You can wear either a vest or a cummerbund. Either one is fine, but plain black satin is preferable for both. You can wear a colored cummerbund, but if you do, stick to very dark and sober colors.
Bright colors look terrible. A colored vest of any kind is too much — if you opt for a vest, stick to black.
You can usually select your shirt studs and cufflinks from several options. They should either match or be complementing, such as plain black shirt studs and gold-and-black cufflinks. Never mix silver and gold metals in the same outfit. For a touch of color, consider adding a boutonniere — a plain red carnation is always striking, or you can talk to a florist about a matching boutonniere-and-corsage set for you and your date.
Just stick to ones with a single flower for you; gentlemen should never be wearing a bouquet on their chest. If this sounds a little too restrained to you, think again. The lapels can either be faced in satin or in the same fabric as the rest of the jacket. Choose the color of your tuxedo or suit jacket. While black will work well with just about any colors your date wears, you could also wear navy or white if these won't clash.
For example, if your date is wearing a black outfit, avoid wearing navy. If your date is wearing white, your outfit will stand out more if you choose black or navy.
If you want to wear a bold color such as blue, maroon, or purple, check with your date to ensure that it will work with their outfit. Match the trousers to your jacket. The dress trousers should be the exact same shade and made from the same material as your jacket. If you're wearing a tuxedo, the pants should have a satin strip down each trouser leg. If you're buying or renting formal trousers, you'll also need to get suspenders instead of a belt.
Choose a plain white dress shirt. For a traditional look, go with a shirt that has pleats. For a more modern look, opt for one without pleats.
If you're unsure, try on both to see which you prefer. You'll also need to decide if you want the standard collar that lays down or if you want a fancier collar that's wing-tipped.
Remember to take cuff style into consideration. Barrel cuffs are simple and the most common on buttoned dress shirts while French cuffs are a little fancier. Wear a black bow tie instead of a long tie. If you can, tie your own bow tie or use a clip-on version. For a classic prom look, choose a black bow tie. You can also talk with your prom date about coordinating colors. For example, if your date is wearing dark earth colors, try a deep green tie.
If your date is wearing a rich purple with a shimmery blue, choose a a shade of blue or purple that matches. Pick out a vest or cummerbund. If you want the most formal look, choose a black satin cummerbund to wear under your suit or tux. For a slightly more casual look, wear a black satin vest.
While there are many options for the color of your cummerbund, a plain one will look the most elegant. If you are a little more daring, choose a cummerbund in a solid color that coordinates with your date's outfit. Method 3. Choose comfortable shoes that work with your outfit. Remember that you'll be dancing and moving all night, so pick shoes that won't rub or be uncomfortable.
The shoes should compliment the style and color of your outfit, especially if the shoes will be visible. For example, if you're wearing a floor-length dress, you may need to wear heels to raise your dress off of the floor.
Consider wearing stylish or neutral-colored flats for the most comfort. Select jewelry that compliments the dress. To avoid wearing too much distracting jewelry, choose a statement piece. This could be a necklace, pair of fancy cuff links, or earrings. The item should work with the rest of the outfit instead of competing for attention.
Once you've chosen your main piece, pick a few other simple items to round out the look. A statement necklace looks great with dresses with a more open neckline, especially if you wear your hair pulled back. You might wear a long drop necklace that's highlighted by your dress. Wear simple stud earrings that don't overwhelm the rest of your look. Carry a handbag or clutch, if necessary. Decide if you want to carry a few items with you to prom such as your cell phone, wallet, or makeup.
Store these in a handbag or clutch that matches the style of your outfit. If you only need to carry 1 or 2 small things, you may be able to put them in pockets. For example, if you're wearing a beaded flapper-style dress, choose a small beaded clutch in a color that compliments the dress.
Wear a shrug if you think you'll be cold. Since most proms take place during warm weather, you probably won't need a shrug. If you get cold easily or think your outfit would look great with a shrug, choose 1 that you can wrap or drape around your shoulders. Around prom season, you'll be able to find lightweight, elegant little wraps made of delicate materials like chiffon.
These are your best option since they are both fancy and functional. Method 4. Wear polished dress shoes. If you're wearing used dress shoes, give them a quick polish so they shine. You can also rent formal shoes to go with your suit or tux. Select shoes that work with the color of your suit or tux.
Shoes are available in brown, black, navy, or white. For example, if the jacket is maroon, choose black or white shoes. Pick out cuff links. While you don't have to wear cuff links, a little jewelry will add sparkle and sophistication to your look. Choose cuff links made from a material that will match your outfit. For example, if you're wearing a shirt with gold studs, wear sophisticated gold cuff links instead of silver ones. Wear a boutonniere. Work with your date to decide on flowers that are suitable for your outfit.
For example, you might pick a red rose that matches their outfit. Secure the boutonniere on the left lapel of the jacket so the flower's stem points down. For example, deep red flowers work well with a cream or black outfit.
