June and July bring school proms and university graduations, two of the biggest milestones in a young person’s life.

For a prom, a black or midnight-blue dinner suit with a bow tie is the classic choice, while a velvet jacket or a coloured suit can be a confident statement. For a graduation, a well-fitted navy or grey suit works under a gown and in photographs, and will go on to serve for interviews and a first job. Ladies may choose a tailored dress, a jumpsuit or a trouser suit. Proms and graduations get busy, so plan fittings well ahead.
