How to Dress to Match Your Date Prom, Wedding
2

• Dressing to match one's date is perhaps one of
  the most nuanced attempts a gentleman can make
  that has the greatest impact during the event
  proper be it a high school prom, an extravagant
  and beautiful wedding, or a romantic and intimate
  candle-lit dinner.

3

• If a gentleman's date has already purchased their
  outfit, it can be extremely problematic for many
  men who are inexperienced in the realm of fashion
  to co-ordinate a complimentary ensemble. This is
  particularly true if one's partner is extremely
  fussy or self-assured in their knowledge of men's
  fashion!

4

• The first step is to take a long, extensive look
  at the garment to be worn by your date. Notice
  the base colours (the most prominent and common
  colour within the garment) as well as any accent
  colours (stripes, swirls, geometric shapes or
  tonal patterns) that are present. Lastly, pay
  attention to any detailing colours, such as
  stitching, that may also offset the prom dress.

• With these colours in mind, it is nearly
  always best to either bring the dress of your
  date with you or simply a swatch of the fabric
  to the menswear store. Look, first, for any
  matching accent colors contrary to popular
  belief it is much more desirable and impressive
  to match the less prevalent colors in the ladies
  garment. This is a common mistake made by men and
  women alike insisting on the perfect color
  match is usually unreasonable, untenable, and
  detrimental in the sense that it often leads to
  compromise in the form of "just-barely-off"
  colors that wilt the aesthetic pairing you are
  directly attempting to achieve!

• For example, let us assume that a gentleman's
  date is wearing a simple black prom dresses 2013
  uk with a coral coloured floral pattern. In this
  case, a black suit with either a coral dress
  shirt and a black tie, or a white dress shirt
  with a coral coloured tie (and perhaps an
  accompanying pocket square) would be most
  appropriate. The first layout is preferable if an
  exact match can be made, the second is likely to
  appear more mature and distinquished and is
  likely easier.

• In less simple examples, such as a prom date with
  a beautiful young lady wearing a mauve or lilac
  prom dress with silver streaks a silver dress
  shirt paired with a silver and mauve / purple tie
  would die nicely.

• Gentlemen should also consider purchasing their
  own outfit, and offer to help their date choose
  an appropriate dress to match. While this is
  certainly a much bolder move than is standard,
  many women appreciate a gent who is not afraid to
  demonstrate confidence in their own fashion
  choices and dream of a man who would go
  shopping for a stunning evening dress with them
  and offer helpful, gentle advice.

8

• Keep in mind when choosing ones own colors to be
  sensitive to their own complexion as well as
  those of their dates. Fairer skin does well with
  baby blues, lilac, and generally pastels of all
  shades darker complexion is a bit easier to
  match and can be worn more aggressively even
  expanding into neons such as aqual, teal, pink,
  and green.

• Further, black suits are the generally preferred
  for more formal events, though navy is excellent
  when worn with denim and brown leather loafers,
  sans-tie, during dinner engagements.
• In modern (arguably, postmodern!) times, men
  should not feel as if they are simply
  wall-flowers, arm-candy, or a permanent room
  fixture who simply happens to be wearing a dress
  shirt and tie. Instead, have a conversation with
  your date, floating the idea of choosing your
  style together and having your date come along
  for the experience. A great many women truly
  enjoy fashion both men's and women's and
  appreciate that same interest being displayed by
  their partners.
