Lots of black suits at prom last week. Regular ties matched color of girls dress. All wrist corsages— order this first thing tomorrow. Giant or any florist does them but they do sell out. The girls bought boutonnières for the guys.

He should find out what his friends are wearing. What color the girl is wearing. I just saw a photo of a friend's kid. Girls all wearing long dresses. Guys wearing suites, with regular ties and dress shoes. It was senior prom, so maybe that made a difference. No tuxes.

Zara men’s section at Montgomery mall.

Looks like there's a Men's Warehouse on Rockville Pike and there is a Macys nearby. Should a regular suit be fine? He doesn't need a tux, does he?

Handy tip. He's skinny.

Is that something that has to be ordered in advance from a florist? Do all florists stock these around this time of year?

Would they normally check with the girl first regarding colours etc?

Definitely go to Men's Warehouse. There is one on Rockville Pike.

Men’s warehouse. You can rent or buy.

Not sure about suits at that age (do they still rent???) but the girl might need a wrist corsage?

DS16 announced this evening he needs a suit by Friday to take a girl to Prom. I'm from another country and have NO idea about prom. Where can we find a suit by Friday? I'm pretty clueless about shopping. We live near Montgomery Mall. Any suggestions which shops to look in? Anything else I need to know?
