Gentlemen must also stand out

Chamberlains, known as the court of honor, give a special touch to the quinceañera celebration, which is why they must look impeccable. Likewise, the father – who is responsible of presenting his daughter to the guests – must consider his apparel and look elegant during the celebration.

The sky is the limit
Nowadays, there are no limits to youth fashion. From suits that imitate a military cadet’s apparel to styles seen during the 50’s, teenagers now have infinite possibilities. Baggy coats, hats, and chains are used to reflect the 50’s era. Other designs like Nehru-collar coats, used with long ties and baggy vests, and zoot suits bring back the 40’s. The choices are unlimited, with a wide selection of colors for ties and vests, allowing a perfect combination with the maids’ dresses. According to fashion experts, teenagers wish to differ from adults, which is why they try to imitate modern artists. Frack or penguin suits were long left behind to make way for the modern suits of today.

The father’s apparel, or whoever represents him, will depend on how traditional the celebration is. It can vary from a designer suit to a less formal one, with a vest and tie.

Make sure to have the right suit
Keep in mind the following details:

1. Traditional colors during fall and winter are black, navy, and charcoal, while brown, beige, and blue can be worn for other times of year.
2. Before renting a suit, make sure that it fits you, is not torn, does not have missing buttons, stains, and comes with all the necessary pieces.

These apparel tips will help you choose what you wish to wear for the celebration, but remember: what is most important is to stay within your budget and enjoy the celebration.
