Tux vs Suit... what's the diff?

Correct, don’t worry too much about what type to get though. The tux place you go to will be used to treating prom bound guys with little experience in this area. The guy fitting you up will assist you in picking out a good style.
Make sure you have enough time though, I don’t know when your prom is but tux rentals aren’t just walk in and walk out with your new duds, you have to go ahead of time.

You need to get there a week before the friday before it, and that’s pushing it, some places won’t even take you that close. Go at least 2 weeks in advance.

I got a tux as a walk-in two days before Prom, but yeah, I wouldn’t recommend that. It was probably because most schools weren’t having Prom till later in the year.

Some tux places do take orders a few days before the prom, but there’s bad things about that.

  1. If they somehow screwed up, and doesn’t fit well or look good, you’re screwed.

  2. It’s gonna cost you and arm and a leg (pun intended) extra.
