Prom FAQ
What are the latest styles for prom?
The hottest tuxedo for this prom season is the black Perry Ellis Marseille. Its longer length coat gives a very contemporary vibe and is very hip. Plus, the black color is the perfect backdrop for adding colored accessories (vests, bow ties and long ties) because it really makes the colors look even more vibrant. Adding colored accessories is also a great way to coordinate with your date's attire.

Should my tuxedo match my date's dress?
You should always coordinate your attire and this can be done easily by making your accessories - the vest, cummerbund, tie, etc. - match your date's dress.
When should I order my tuxedo?
We recommend that you reserve your tuxedo as soon as possible and at least 3 weeks in advance, as this is our busiest time of the year and by ordering in advance you save yourself time standing in line.
Please note, we can outfit you as late as the day before prom.
*Tip: Go ahead and pay-in-full for your tuxedo at the time of reservation so that the pick-up process will be quicker.
When should I pick-up my tuxedo for prom?
Pick-up your tuxedo the day before prom so that you can try it on and make sure everything fits. This allows time for alterations if necessary.
*Tip: Also, when you are trying on your tuxedo in the dressing room, make sure you pick-up all your accessories when you are finished because you don't want to get home and discover that you left them in the dressing room.
When should I return my tuxedo?
Return your tuxedo the next store business day. See the store consultants for details on store hours.
*Tip: Make sure all of the pieces of the tuxedo are intact when returning the tuxedo so that you are not charged for them. Also, check the pockets and make sure all of your personal items have been removed.
What should I do if I discover that I have left something in my tuxedo?
Call Lost and Found at our Corporate Office immediately. The number is 713-791-1888 ext. 0.
