Every great prom story starts with one decision: what are you wearing? Because long after the night is over, the photos, and that look, are what stay with you. Let’s make it one to remember. At Leonardo 5th Avenue, we help you find the one, and no, we’re not talking about the date. We’re talking about the suit. Through the fittings, the last-minute changes, the proud moms, and the mirror selfies, we’ve seen what works… and what definitely doesn’t. Here are five of the most common prom style mistakes, and how we make sure you never fall into them.
Choosing trend over fit
We get it. That TikTok look is fire. But if the fit’s not right? It won’t feel right either. A great suit starts with structure. At L5A, we tailor every look to your frame, purchased, or fully custom. Because when the suit fits, everything else clicks.
Forgetting the details
You’ve got the suit. Cool. But where’s the pocket square? The tie? The cufflinks? Accessories are what turn a good look into a great one. At L5A, we walk you through every element, from shirt to shoes, so your final look feels complete and intentional.
Waiting until the last minute
You’d be surprised how many show up days before prom thinking they can “just grab something.” Prom season gets wild, and the best pieces, fittings, and appointments go fast. That’s why we always say: the earlier, the better. It’s not about pressure, it’s about peace of mind.
Wearing what others expect, not what feels like you
Prom should be a reflection of your vibe. Want classic? Go for it. Want something bold? Let’s do it. The worst mistake is dressing for someone else. At L5A, we ask the right questions so your suit reflects your energy, not just the dress code.
Forgetting to enjoy the process
Prom only happens once. Finding your look shouldn’t be a chore, it should be part of the celebration. With us, it’s not just about trying on suits. It’s about feeling seen, getting hyped, and walking out knowing you’re going to own that night.
Final thoughts?
At Leonardo 5th Avenue, we’re here to make sure your prom look is more than just a suit, it’s an experience. Ready to find yours? Book your appointment. Let’s make this moment count.
