Prom Essentials for Guys

Karen Francis
Now that you've found the perfect tux to compliment that special young lady's gown or dress on prom night what about the essentials? What are the essentials you ask? The essentials are the accessories as well as the grooming that we ladies love so much.

A good cologne can really put the icing on the cake when it comes to a well dressed young man. However, there is an art to knowing which and how much cologne is hot and what's not. A good test would be to try on a couple of colognes and allow a friend or family member to smell it and if they don't pass out or make an peculiar face then it's probably a good scent to wear out.

You want to wow your date not overwhelm her with strong fragrances or unflattering accessories. For instance you might not want to wear that yellow tie with your tux even if you think it's a cool color. For the big prom night you want to infuse your outfit with your personality, but you can do that and still show some style.
