Red Carpet Worthy Prom Looks for Guys
We know you've already had fun shopping for that perfect head-to-toe prom look, but don't forget the other very important part of the prom equation—your date. For all the time and effort you put into your look, the guy on your arm should look up-to-par. That's why we've enlisted the help of ten fashion-forward bachelors (and red carpet pros), from Nick Jonas to Zac Efron, to demonstrate how formalwear should really be worn. Click through for our top 10 prom looks for guys!
1/11Whether it's a classic tudo or a sleek suit, take a cue from Hollywood's It boys when it comes to dressing your date for prom night.
2/11Zac Efron is one straight shooter! We love the actor’s skinny-fit pants as a youthful and fashionable update to the classic suit. Add a skinny tie and you’re good to go!
3/11At first glance, this star looks almost like he’s wearing a traditional tux. Look again. The sharkskin material gives this gentleman quite the shine!
4/11Nick Jonas always adds personality to his looks. Here, he combines the dressy tux with dressed-down Converse for a look that’s very punk rock. Add a slim leather wristwatch, and you’ve got yourself a date.
5/11JT makes the denim shirt—a must-have for men this season—look edgy but appropriate on the red carpet. Finished off with a bowtie, and he’s looking quite dapper.
6/11It’s safe to say that we’re big fans of former hottie Taylor Lautner. Still, Taylor manages to hit all the right sartorial notes in this sleek, shiny gray suit with notched lapels and a patterned tie.
7/11RPatz is always a stunner, but even more so in this navy blue Gucci suit. The crisp shirt and black square-toe oord shoes score this look a ten.
8/11The other star joins our lineup in grey, but with a different twist. Salling’s tux has black lapels and black-piped pockets, which give him a dapper look that’s formal yet unique.
9/11If your date is a badboy like Kellan Lutz, he’s going to want to break the rules. Just make sure he does so tastefully. Exhibit A: Calvin Klein shiny dinner jacket with black matte dress pants and a long navy-blue tie. Add some hardware with the belt, and he’s cool, not crass.
10/11We would like to give a round of applause to Joe Jonas for most daring Red Carpet look. At the premiere, Jonas stepped out in a Simon Spurr glen plaid suit. Notice that he pairs his statement-making print with a clean white shirt, and nothing else. If ties are mandatory, go with a solid.
11/11Usher’s Emporio Armani three-piece suit is a total hit! The R&B star looks absolutely dapper with the contrast piping and dark buttons. Usher manages to pull off mid patterns with a checked shirt and tie but if you want to play it safe, tell your date to go with just one pattern in the ensemble!
