Anyone has already bought clothes for Prom party? What do boys normally wear and where to buy it from? Thanks!

Next is good, I like it too. I will have a look there. I am now thinking a nice suit that he can use it for future interview etc.

Next do lots of prom suits. But you might want to consider whether your DS will get any more wear out of it - before he changes shape again!

We hired ds1's prom suit from Moss (but get in early as they run out quite quickly). Glad we didn't buy him one as he has never needed one since.

DS2 got his from Next and did get to wear it again at a rugby dinner.

Thank you!MaidenMotherCrone . I will wait a few more weeks then. I guess it is not as important as girls dress , just a nice suit will do then.

When DS had his prom I bought him a suit. I thought I was being super organised by buying it about 6-8 weeks early. It fitted perfectly, he looked so lovely. Day of the prom he put it on and he'd only gone and grown about 2 inches!

The trousers were half mast and the jacket sleeves were no where near his wrists.

I'd wait until the week before if I were you.

Anyone have bought these for their son? I know DS's girl classmates have all bought theirs in Feburary, boys don't even talk about it. But the party is only a couple of months away.
