STYLE TIPS FOR PROM
By Steven Potter, May 25, 2020
Whether you're lucky enough to be celebrating your prom/end-of-year dance IRL or you're still doing things digitally, one thing is for certain: you wanna be wearing your peak-prom look. Check out our round-up of the best styles to mark the occasion, including statement blazers, fancy shirts, full suits, and all those accessories that'll bag you Best Dressed, for sure.
If you're going smart-casual...
Selected Homme striped Oxford shirt, $72
Is there anything more classic than a crisp striped shirt? Probs not. If you don't wanna go too OTT but still wanna look like you made an effort, this one's for you. Pair with smart pants and shoes for the main event, and then add it to your casual rotation by wearing it open with a graphic tee and your favourite jeans post-prom. That's a win-win.
If you’re dressing for the ‘gram…
ASOS DESIGN skinny blazer, $100
If you really want to turn up the turn-up, pick this outrageously glam blazer. Made for crushing entrances in person or on the video chat.
If you're dressing from the waist up…
ASOS DESIGN sheer embroidered shirt, $50
If your prom is party on the top, joggers on the bottom, try this camera-ready shirt on for size. This one wouldn't look out of place on the back of a certain Mr Chalamet or Mr Styles (which is why it made the list tbh).
If you're into understated style...
Reclaimed Vintage Inspired suit, starting at $40
These tonal hues have long reigned supreme in men's everyday wardrobes, but now's the time to add a bit of camel-based cool to your party look, too. The trick to nailing this pairing is the combination of a super-wearable palette and a laid-back fit. P.S. slouchy tailoring is THE ONE to watch this season.
And the ultimate summer-shoe style...
Sure, box-fresh kicks look tight with a suit and casual tee, but if you really wanna up your game, it's gotta be a smart loafer. Opt for a chunky cleated sole to bring an old fave straight into the 2021 spotlight.
