The best prom suits for a night to remember

A big moment like prom commands an outfit that will make a statement. For a look that’s as timeless as it is impressive, only a classic suit will do.

Not sure where to start? Think about which fit suits you best – regular (our most relaxed fit), tailored (tapered and more fitted), slim (modern, close-fitting style), or skinny (our tightest fit).

For the best all-rounder, you can’t go wrong with our slim-fit stretch suit. Available in eleven colours, the slim-fit suit has a single-breasted jacket and smart notched lapels. Plus, we’ve added a touch of stretch so you can still try out all your favourite dance moves.

Call in the experts to nail the perfect fit with our suit-fitting service. They’ll take your measurements and help find the best style for you.

Timeless black prom suit ideas

For a glamourous evening occasion like prom, a black suit is always an elegant choice. It goes with just about anything, meaning you can coordinate with your date and dress it up with accessories such as a tie and pocket square.

Get prom-ready in a suit that will survive the night's adventures (and the wash), such as our machine-washable regular fit suit. With a single-breasted jacket and relaxed trousers, you’re sure to wear it over and over again.

For a monochrome look, style with a crisp black shirt and simple black tie.

Best prom suit colours: classic to contemporary

You don’t have to stick to black when it comes to prom outfits. To keep it classic, opt for a neutral alternative such as charcoal grey or deep navy blue to mix it up.

For a more daring approach, go bold with a vibrant pop of colour. Stand out on the dancefloor with a dusky rose, sage green or cool lilac number.

To make a colourful suit more wearable, style it with a neutral champagne-coloured pocket square and tie.

What do men wear for prom: shirts, shoes and accessories

Pair your suit with a complementary shirt in either a slim, regular, or relaxed fit. Go for a breathable fabric, like this pure cotton shirt, so you don’t overheat on the dancefloor.

You’ll need a smart pair of dress shoes to go with your suit. A pair of Oxford-style brogues or derby shoes will complement all suit styles. If you’re wearing a lighter-coloured suit, opt for a pair of brown dress shoes instead of black.

Add the finishing touch with a coordinating tie and pocket square. This subtle pop of colour is a great opportunity to match with your date.
