Look, $100 to $300 is a lot for one night of awkward slow dances and overpriced punch. But a tuxedo transforms you. You’re not just Bob from Calculus anymore—you’re Bob, the guy wearing a bow tie who might actually have a future. Plus, your prom photos will last forever, or at least until your mom posts them on Facebook with the caption “My baby!”
So rent the tux. Spend the money. Just don’t spill punch on it, or you’ll owe the rental place your entire savings account. And if you do mess up? Blame it on the slow dance. It’s the prom curse.
