High School Formal Fashion for Guys

Guys, your school formal is just around the corner. What are you going to wear?

“Dunno” is the most common response. Most guys won’t even think about it until a couple of days before and then its Mum that ends up stressing out running her son around from shop to shop trying to find the ‘look’ he thinks he wants.

Just For Him is here to help Guys and Mums. We are able to show guys how to choose an outfit that they are able to get lots of wear out of.

Owner Lisa Tarei says ‘The thing that sets us apart from most menswear shops is our service. We listen to what the guys want and then put the look together for them. Alternatively, if they have no idea, we show them different options until they see something that will suit them and that they like. If we don't have what they are looking for in the shop, we will source it for them. We advise on what looks best on them and how to get the most out of what they buy. ie. how to wear the gear for different occasions and how to mix and match”.

Whats the look for guys this year?

It’s all about slim lines..... Baggy is definitely out. Blacks and Grey’s are the look and for the ultimate edge - metallic or a bit of shine are a must. Lisa recommends, if you need a suit, go for a Slim-fit Fashion Suit teamed with a stylish shirt and Skinny tie. Alternatively, if you don’t have to wear a suit, you will look great if you wear a well fitting pair of trousers and a Slim-fitting shirt finished off with a unique tie that no one else will have.

Some important points that Lisa stresses for guys wanting to look great for their school formal include:

Don’t wear suit trousers hanging low on the hips like many wear their jeans - it just looks wrong!
Wear a belt and ensure that the belt is the same colour as your shoes.
Make sure that you have shoes that go with your new outfit. Scuffed up school shoes, or shoes that you have borrowed from your dad that are 3 sizes too big just wont cut it.
If you want to roll up your shirt sleeves, roll the cuffs up once so that the sleeve ends half way between your wrist and elbow. DONT roll the cuffs up all the way above your elbows, its not a school shirt!
Wear nice smelling deodorant
You don’t have to get a tie that is exactly the same colour as your dates dress. You are better off buying a tie that you actually like which tones nicely with her dress!
When it comes to your tie, invest in a good quality one that is ‘different’. A good quality tie will stay with you for years.
