Which suit for prom/ball?

[donCarlos]

I really hate to bring this up again, and I´m quite sure about your answers, but still, I need an advice.

There is my old high school´s prom this thursday. The proms here are quite different from the american ones, judging from what I´ve seen in movies. They are supposed to be more traditional, but nobody ever wears a black tie and even light suits can be seen there. I am often sick of the outfits I see there...

I tried all my outfits which can be classified as "semi-formal evening wear" and here are all four candidates (I know that the pants color in nr. 3 seems to be different, but it´s not, it just reflects light differently):

The first is double breasted peaked lapel jacket and grey trousers. Seems to be more like formal day wear, but I think it looks good and therefore can be used.

The second one is clear, the only interesting thing is a mismatched vest.

Number three is the same suit, but with matching vest.

Number three is peaked lapel pinstripe black suit, which doesn´t fit me perfectly and I don´t have time to have it altered. This is the outfit I will probably be least notable in. (which is almost unthinkable for me )

So which one? All options will probably qualify me as one of the best dressed man of the evening. (sad, but true)

And for bartenders, you can delete this thread in friday, if you want to. Thank you.

Number 1 and number 3 are both good. I reckon if you extend the sleeves a bit on the first suit, it would be the best.

I really like number 1!

I really like number 2, but not for an evening affair. Great looks, all.

I also like two. If it's not Black Tie, then why not? I think the added visual interest of the contrasting waistcoat will be a big hit, IMHO.

I like #2. To me, the first one looks too business-like for an evening out.

I like #1 and #3 equally.

#1 is a bit more Val Kilmer's Bruce Wayne while 2 and three are more aristocratic.

4 is standard looking and you wont stand out.

I say #1 smart and stylish.

#1 because it's stylish and the least business-like.

Thank you all, so far!
I asked my closest friends the same questions and it seems it will be number one. I like it too.

The sleeves are a bit short, but nobody will notice. It also has quite low armholes, but I´m not really into dancing, so it shall be no problem. It´s good for standing at the bar with the ladies, which is the plan.

I like the cuffs on #1, but I like #s 2 and 3 for the vests...I've always been big on vests.

Oh my God! They must be kidding me!
The after-party is in a club where is no coat check, so I would have to take care of my hat in a place with 200+ teenagers with no respect for other´s personal belongings, especially hats... That´s impossible! I will not put up with this!
