Prom Attire

Boys usually dress in black or white formal wear, regardless of the time of the event, sometimes paired with brightly colored ties or bow ties with vests, in some cases in colors matching their date’s dress. Most are rented from stores that specialize in formal wear rentals.

Girls wear traditional ladies dresses or gowns and wear ladies’ jewellery such as earrings and a necklace. Traditionally girls wear perfume and make-up.

Traditionally girls also wear a corsage, given to them by their dates, and girls give boys matching boutonnières to be worn on their lapel.
