Prom is not all about stressing who your date will be, partying the night away and reaching home base. It’s also a time when serious one-upmanship comes into play when choosing the right outfit to wear. When you're a teenager, you don't have to have all the rules of formalwear down pat. You're free to experiment and figure out what works for you. On prom night, you're invited to go classic like Gatsby to full-on Dumb & Dumber mode. Take these people for example, they weren't afraid to let their prom kits reflect their own personalities. Here are The Most Amazing Prom Pics on the Internet.

Did anyone break a seal?
No shame in wearing a Duck Tape outfit if you're chosen to win 5 stacks from the Duck Brand to use for your scholarship. Notch a W by getting a head start in kicking college loans in the ass.
Mr. Solo Dolo
No date? No problem. Look at that award-winning smile. Dude looks just about ready to pull any girl off the dance floor and get to daggering.
The Token Cool Guy
All black suit? Crisp white shirt? Wayfarer sunnies indoors? It's clear who the baddest dude in this group is.
The Grateful Date
Trippy mayne.
Dapper Dans and Dapper Danas
How did we miss these in our round-up of Dapper Dan's Greatest Creations?
Rep your squad.
Take one for the team and put the "sport" back in sportcoat.
There's Waldo.
Myth: vertical stripes make you look thinner. They actually don't. These particular stripes make you look like a candy cane... which is fine if your date is named Peppermint Patty.
Can't beat a classic.
You just can't mess with a timeless black and white tux. His date's polka dot ensemble kills it too.
Haute Topic
Before street goth, there was mall goth. And these two exemplify it perfectly.
Rock the boat
Obviously dude came dressed for a yacht party. No tie? Light sportcoat with rolled sleeves? Plaid shirt and white slip-ons? Yeah, this dude is the best of '80s fashion, all on one person.
Gold all in my tie
You don't go full on shiny suit. Don't believe us? Just watch this guy. The black pants break things apart, and on a night like this, it's all right to shine a bit. Just be sure to put the jacket on too.
#menswear
Sorry, did this dude just jump out of a street style blog or is he a Four Pins post waiting to happen?
Wildin' out.
Every girl dreams that one day her prince will come. Some guys misinterpret that as "one day my prints will come."
Half-baked.
The thing about "GTL" is that you can't skimp on the "G" and the "L" and go full "T."
The best of both worlds.
Amazing album... not so much practical fashion advice.
There's nothing wrong with camo.
No matter what type of person you are, you can find a way to work camo into your wardrobe.
Pooh all up on your outfits.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia. These Pooh-covered outfits also channel that Canal St. bootleg vibe too.
Washed out.
Washed tailored gear has been having a resurgence as of late thanks to brands like Boglioli. Enzyme-washed sportcoats are both soft and comfortable but still make you look like a proper man. This guy gets the idea, albeit we'd lose the pleated pants.
The power of a good haircut.
Grooming goes a long way on a night like this. It also says a lot about you. For example, this guy isn't about business at all: It's 100% PARTY.
