Man Fashion Jewelry
Q: What should a very gothic man wear to his prom?
A:Well, one could always go with the oft done tails and top hat.
However, if you do decide for this look(and don't mind looking like
something out of Dracula, which, in no way, is bad if you are into
Victorian dress(as I am)), try to get gloves to go with the tux
(preferably those which button at the wrist(very hard to find, at
least around here).
At my prom (oh those many years ago...), several stylish gents rented
historical costumes. 18th century cortier outfits (a la 'Amadeus') and
19th century tails & ruffles. They all looked splendid (and, in
retrospect, make me wish I'd worn a panniered gown instead of the new wave
weirdness I went for
I imagine most formalwear shops will have something like this.
Otherwise, try those shops that specialize in cheap jewelry for
teenyboppers. My puppetry troupe all wore gloves like that and even if
you're a man with larger hands, the sorts of gloves one finds at those
sorts of jewelry shops stretch to fit just fine. -- and I found them at
stores in Houston, though it did take some hunting!
Another source for the gloves are costume shops. There's a slew of them
in Houston off I-59 near its junction with 610, though I forget exactly
what street; it was a long time ago. Came in black and white and yes,
they buttoned, but cheap, and not very durable.
