The #1 question during prom season: How do I match my date without looking like we planned too hard? Here's the expert approach from KCT Menswear stylists, coordinating Kalamazoo couples since 1983.

The 3 Levels of Coordination

Accent Match

Most Popular

Classic black or navy suit with matching tie, bowtie, and pocket square in her color. Foolproof.

Tone Match

Best for Photos

Same color family, different shade. She wears bright red, he wears burgundy. Slight contrast photographs better than exact match.
