A time to reflect on the long journey and get hyped up for what comes next. It is also a time to flex, flaunt and stand out from an already crowded room; to let everyone know who you are and what you stand for. This year Men\u2019s Wearhouse gives it up to those who rewrite that rulebook, ditch those ill-fitting expectations and shift the played-out fashion paradigm. In other words\u2014to Prom As You Are.<\/p>\n<p>This year we are highlighting real people, attending prom for real\u2014so we are happy to introduce Marlon. As a first-generation American from the Dominican Republic and lover of theater, Marlon knows that all the world is truly a stage. His flair for the dramatic informs his style moves in every way. So it should come as no surprise that for his first prom Marlon wanted a stand-out look that generated its own spotlight wherever he may go.<\/p>\n<p>His final choice? The Egara Red Dinner Jacket.<\/p>\n<p>[su_row][su_column size=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; center=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/P-R-O-D-U-C-T-_-S-C-_-F-M-L-_-4.jpg\" \/>[\/su_column] [su_column size=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; center=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/P-R-O-D-U-C-T-_-S-C-_-F-M-L-_-3.jpg\" \/>[\/su_column][\/su_row]<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to pulling the focus, nothing works like a hot shade of red. When paired with contrasting highlights, it becomes all eyes on me. The Egara Red\u2019s smooth exterior and interior is framed by a black satin shawl lapel that gives this jacket a classic\u2014yet bold\u2014vibe. Paired with matching black slacks, tie and shoes, this ensemble comes to life in a way that is all its own. But contrast can be king when it comes to being an original, so a pair of white tennis sneakers can next level this outfit instantly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menswearhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/M-W-T-S-P-1-9-_-P-R-O-M-_-C-O-N-T-E-N-T-_-S-C-_-F-M-L-_-2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking that a touch of red is the way to go this prom, we highly recommend this dinner jacket and all it\u2019s fine compliments.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Find your look\" href=\"https:\/\/tuxedo.menswearhouse.com\/prom-tuxedo-looks\">Find your look<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prom is a time to celebrate with friends and family.
