Homecoming is a really big opportunty for guys and girls to look their best. If you are not sure whether to wear a suit or just a shirt. I suggest trying to use a vest. It gives you that nice formal look without making you seem like you are trying too hard. Also, vest will be alot cheaper than the whole tuxedo look. If anything wear a color that will match your date's. Maybe a nvy blue shirt or navy blue tie. I also suggest trying bowties. I find those very appealing a cute. If not, then just use a regular tie. GOODLUCK!

He should wear a suit (w/ dress shoes -- no sneakers). Maybe his tie could be navy blue like her dress. As for flowers: Maybe you should find our what the traditions are at the school in question. Here in Plano, Texas -- the homecoming corsage is a big thing! and I mean BIG! The longer and the more ornate they are, the better they are. Some have ribbons that practically reach the floor. The craft stores in our area have supplies out for these silly things for months in advance, as well as ornament things for all of our three competing high schools. And florist shops charge big bucks to make them for you. The tradition here is that the boy gives the girl this huge corsage, and she gives him a "bicep" corsage.

I'd recommend a dark suit or tux (black or charcoal grey) and match the pocket square or tie to her dress. If she wears silver-tone accessories, he can use a crisp white shirt, navy blue accents in the tie and pocket square (most young men don't wear vests or cummerbunds these days?). If she goes with gold-tone accessories, he doesn't have to carry that gold into his shirt or accents, but with accessories it will look more pulled together. I've seen a nice charcoal grey suit with a pale yellow shirt and matching tie and it goes well. As for flowers, white always looks good with navy, such as gardenias, white roses, calla lillies or freesia. Otherwise, red goes nicely as in red roses with greens. He can also go with pale yellow if she accessorizes her dress with gold accessories.

If her dress is formal (long) then he should wear a tux but if her dress is semi-formal (knee length) then a suit would be appropriate.
Colors should compliment her dress.
Most girls like wearing a wrist corsage. He should ask her what her favorite flowers are and then order a corsage made of those. Be sure he tells the florist what color her dress is.

Anything in a similar color to her dress would be great
I'd say a navy blue suit with a gold vest and tie :)
good luck!

Well Being that I am a model, i would suggest maybe renting a base suit, or a manilla colored suit, with some elegant flowers.

He should probably wear black, and the flowers that would be nice are white roses.
