🕴️ Tux Trends That Are Turning Heads This Hoco & Prom Season

1. Bold Colors & Patterns

Forget the all-black tux (unless you're going for sleek and classic — no shame in that). This year, guys are stepping out in:

• Deep green velvet blazers

• Burgundy, navy, or plum tuxes

• Floral or paisley jacquard jackets

• All-white or off-white tuxes with contrast lapels

Style tip: Choose a color that complements your date’s outfit — but don’t match head-to-toe. 

2. Textured & Statement Fabrics

Velvet, satin lapels, crushed suede — texture is in. These materials add dimension and make even neutral colors look luxe.

Pro move: A velvet jacket with a black shirt + skinny tie = instant prom royalty vibes.

3. No Tie, No Problem

Wanna go for cool and clean? Ditch the tie completely, pop the top button, and keep it minimal. This relaxed look works great with:

• Monochrome fits

• Statement jackets

• Loafers or sneakers (more on that below 👟)

👟 Shoes Make the Fit: Dress Shoes or Sneakers?

✨ Classic Dress Shoes

Still a staple. But instead of the usual shiny rentals, guys are going for:

• Loafers with no socks (very sleek)

• Chelsea boots with slim pants

• Matte leather Oxfords

Stick with black, brown, or oxblood — or go bold with velvet loafers in deep colors (green, burgundy, navy).

🔥 Sneakers at Prom? 100% Yes.

Sneakers + suits are having a moment, and prom is the perfect place to flex your collection — without sacrificing comfort.

Best sneaker styles to pair with formalwear:

• Air Jordan 1s (in neutral or metallic colorways)

• Nike Dunks

• Adidas Sambas (clean and low-profile)

• Yeezy Boosts or Foam Runners (if your school’s vibe is more relaxed)

• All-white Air Force 1s (classic, safe, and clean)

💡 Where to find heat:
Check out GOAT, StockX, or Nike for sneaker drops and resale prices.

Style tip: If you're wearing sneakers, make sure your pants are tapered or tailored short to show them off.

💼 Accessories to Level Up Your Look

• Pocket squares: Match your shirt, not your tie.

• Watches: Keep it sleek — metal or leather band, nothing too bulky.

• Rings/Chains: One or two subtle pieces can elevate your whole fit.

• Socks: Show some personality with prints if you’re going traditional with shoes.

🧼 Fit Tips Before the Big Night

• Get your tux or suit early. Don’t wait until the week of — especially if you’re renting.

• Try it on ahead of time. Make sure the jacket fits in the shoulders, and pants aren’t too long or baggy.

• Break in your shoes. Even sneakers can hurt if they’re box-fresh.

• Steam or press it. Wrinkles kill the vibe, no matter how good the fit is.
