I was wondering if i could wear proper white tie to my prom... I am not talking about white tie mishaps, i mean truly authentic and WELL FITTING white tie? i already have a tailcoat which i will have altered to fit, and i can get the rest. i would also wear a real vintage SILK top hat and a simple black cane with a simple silver handle (and Opera pumps(most likely)). is this ok for prom? When I say mishap i am referring to the one on the far left, when i say proper and well fitting I am referring to the ones in the middle and the right

Besides having chosen wisely you get bonus points for planning and preparation, as my vague memory of high school tells me prom season is approximately half a year away. Bravissimo!

Good man. I would hold off a few years on planning your casket attire.
