When Should You Start Looking?

The short answer: now. The most popular styles and colors get reserved fast, especially in April and May. We recommend coming in at least 6-8 weeks before prom to give yourself plenty of options and time for alterations if needed.

What’s Trending for Prom 2026

This year’s biggest trends include:

  • Slate blue and dusty rose suits — soft colors that photograph beautifully and coordinate with almost any dress color
  • Slim-fit silhouettes — clean, modern lines are still the look
  • Velvet dinner jackets — a bold move that stands out from the crowd
  • Burgundy and forest green — rich jewel tones for guys who want something different
  • Classic black with a twist — black tux with a patterned vest or colored bow tie
