People are always asking me, "Paul, I need to look fly for my prom. Can you help me out?"
Fo' shizzle, my nizzle.
Let's take a look at some of the hot looks of this past prom season.
Photo No. 1 is the classic 3-on-2 look. Three guys and only two who are confident enough to ask out a girl. The matching outfits make it easy to hide the identity of the one born without cajones. FlyMeter: 6
Photo No. 2 is the always classic NBA look. The timelessness of this fashion means that no one will laugh at your picture in 20 years. Plus, if you're intentionally fouled on the way to the punch bowl, you get two shots and the ball. FlyMeter: 9
Photo No. 3 also shows how sports uniforms and formal wear are pretty much inseparable. Here we see a couple's tribute to Rasheed Wallace, who is the most talented of all the Jail Blazers and the Babe Ruth of technicals fouls. As with the Allen Iverson suit above, always make sure your NBA tux carries with it an acceptable amount of street cred. Can't be strutting through the prom paying homage to NBA champ David Robinson. FlyMeter: 10!
Photo No. 4 reminds us that fashion means freedom. Want a jacket's tail to reach your calves? Go for it. Long sleeves got you down? Ditch 'em. And of course, when it comes to selecting a color, you cannot go wrong with red. It's all good. FlyMeter: 7
