Help me please! [+16 REP!]

[Ostinato]

Hey guys.

My prom is in about 5 weeks time and I'm in desperate need of getting a suit! Lol. I've had a look on some websites and only really seen one or two I've considered buying.

Basically, I have exams all through next month then my mum's baby is due 2 days before my prom - so my schedule is pretty hectic and I don't have loads of time to go shopping to find one and stuff.

Therefore - please suggest some suits you think would be nice for a prom!

The dearest I have considered so far is £160 in total, but I'd maybe pay a wee bit more than that.

I'm looking for some serious suggestions here, and I will give +16 rep to all helpful posts.

I'm not looking for white or anything - quite dark colours and I also quite like pinstripes but it's not necessary.

Thanksss!

Also - comments on this one please:

i don't suggest splashing out a lot of money for a prom suit if you're only going to wear it once. have you thought about hiring one out? that's probably the most logical and practical option.

*edit: with regards to the picture, i'd say it looks more suitable to be worn as a business suit, rather than a prom suit.

Very classy suite, Im suprised to see u asking for help

Why don't you just hire a suite if your only going to use it for the prom?

Me likes this it's a tuxedo

Well, I considered hiring out, but like I say my mum is due her baby so then I'll need one for it's christening and I also have a wedding coming up - so if I were to keep hiring it would end up just costing as much...

[Frodo13.]

I wouldnt buy one, not worth the money, especially if your gonna only wear it for your prom. And with your pic, its not really a prom suit, but you if you want originality, go with something like that.

With regards of places to hire suits, Im sure there will be places in your local shopping centers. I know for sure Burtons Menswear hire out suits.

Lol exactly - thats why i was thinking the first suit could maybe cover all bases...

Also I just had a look at Burtons formal rental price list - and it's gonna cost about £60 - £70, which when done twice will work out to be about the same price as buying a suit.

or don't wear a suit. heh

i wore a plain white shirt, skinny black tie, black braces, pin striped pants and converse.

saved me a lot of money anyway.
