# Prom Tuxedo 2026 Trends: What Kalamazoo & Portage High School Students Are Wearing This Year
Prom season is here, and at **KCT Menswear**, we've been outfitting Southwest Michigan students since 1983. Whether you're from Kalamazoo Central, Portage Northern, Loy Norrix, Mattawan, or any of the 40+ high schools we serve, here's what's trending for 2026.
## Top 5 Prom Tuxedo Colors for 2026
### 1. Burgundy/Wine (Top Pick)
Burgundy is THE color this year. It coordinates beautifully with most prom dress colors and photographs incredibly well. We're seeing Portage Central Mustangs and Kalamazoo Central Maroon Giants embrace this shade.
### 2. Emerald Green
Bold, luxurious, and perfect for spring. Emerald green velvet blazers are flying off our racks at both our Downtown Kalamazoo and Crossroads Mall locations.
### 3. Royal Blue
A classic that never fails. Royal blue suits work with almost any date's dress color and make a strong statement.
### 4. Classic Black with Modern Twists
Black tuxedos remain timeless, but 2026 updates include velvet textures, unique lapel styles, and satin accents.
### 5. Bold Patterns
Windowpane, plaid, and subtle jacquard prints are gaining popularity among fashion-forward students.
## 2026 Fabric Trends
**Velvet** continues to dominate—we stock burgundy, emerald, navy, and black velvet blazers in all sizes. **Double-breasted jackets** are making a comeback for that modern vintage look.
