Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You might as well go for something fun, I say
I watched a cousin of mine shop for a prom suit, and I'm totally against the fun. One in a hundred teen guys seems to have a sense of sartorial fun that I'd have stood next to at 18.
What with my dating history and lack of being in the US at 18, it was pretty win win.

Hey, he's my brother. I can (and have in the past, really really wanted to, but...he's better now.)
He actually owned this horrible purple pimp suit. It was mainly worn as a Halloween costume but got dug out for several school functions just to exasperate the teachers. It was really tacky.
I like the zootux.
What kat says is true. I have met very few boys under, say, 25, who could look comfortable in a tuxedo, or even a suit. Partly I think it is the skinniness factor, i.e. many boys look too small for their clothes even when they are in the right size; but partly, it is just that they aren't wearing their own clothes, and it shows.
Now, I knew a kid in the 8th grade who had his own tailored suit, and wore it to a school function once. He looked like a tiny mafioso, and the suit absolutely suited him (I mean, except inasmuch as it made him look like a mafioso).

It would be suicidal, in this group.
Lovely. The Tainted Love earworm has been replaced by Cherry Poppin' Daddies' Zoot Suit Riot.
Toe-tapping is in progress.
This is where my lack of acculturation serves me well. Aside from the narrowly avoided disaster of that one cousin, the prom stuff I've seen has either been HAWT (nothing skinny about this dude), or on TV, so it was okay.
Would you say that the teenaged girls look better in formal wear than the boys? Perhaps it's because they're less funny.
I'm a fan of a good zoot suit, but that's not one.
I'll take the earworm, though.
Well, thanks to the zoot suit curiousity this discussion sparked I know know how I'll dress if I should get a job as a demon postmortem.
Also, got a peek at how David Boreanaz will look in 40 years.

Spooky. And yet so, so true.
