Suit up for less
Renting a tux isn’t the only option young men have when it comes to prom attire. Instead of paying to rent a well-worn (and often ill-fitting) tuxedo, shop at Goodwill for a gently-used suit, or even a blazer with slacks. A little tailoring and alterations can go a long way in making an ” off the rack” suit fit like a dream! And even after prom is over, it’s nice to have a suit in your closet for other special occasions.
