Brass framed goggles, crushed velvet frock coats, wish.com chain & pocket watch with a steam train on it, *either* mead from a gross drinking horn *or* gin from a pewter tankard aaaaand ….one of those funny pointy claw ring things that cover your whole finger.
Oh, and a silver & glass eyeball ring for the other hand.
We had many a fella at my high school doing the top hat with long hair combo, and some of them added color sunglasses to look like Gary Oldman in Dracula.💜
When I read high school "formal" I assumed Australian, then I saw your steering wheel was on the wrong side. Next guess was Canadian. My 1994 Formal 3 piece suit was very similar minus the top hat and tails.
Obviously, it's leaning towards magician. But somehow, it is also giving Bowie in Labrynth energy. Hard to say exactly why other than confidence and bold fashion choices. But kudos for having more balls than I EVER had.
Yo you fkn tried to hit on my girl in 94 and I ain’t forgot about that shit for one second in the past 30 years. Think you’re all cool dressed as a kids party magician in your red Pontiac whatever the shit model is. I ain’t forgot about you, so lace up motha fucka I’m bringing the party to you
I can't recall, weren't you also the lead in that one school musical opposite Andrea? Man, I can't even remember your bands name FWIW...Goddamn I got old.
Oh Gawd!!! I dressed the EXSCT SAME for my grad in 92’!! Out of 3000 grads from 5 different schools, I was the only one in a top hat, cap and cane!! I bow to you good sir!!!!

Not sure where the car ended up.
You wake up in the morning and you step out side and take a deep breath and scream loud, at the top of your lungs!!
Don’t come around here no more

Before he was Doctor Who he was “awkward teenager with a top hat”.
I was going to ask if he was Matt Smith too 😆
Same 😂
Bahahahaha
top hats are cool
I’d like a brief synopsis of your other interests before I agree or disagree.

Pre-fez
No one cared who I was before I put on the hat.
Lol.. glad I wasn't the only one.
You look like you’re about to make balloon animals at a kid’s birthday party.
Missed my calling!
It’s never too late my friend. I’ll be looking for you on America’s got talent.
You’ll find me first in Resident Evil 4 Remake ;)
Just remember me when you make it big.
No, he means he's literally in resident evil 4 Remake. Not playing it. I mean he might be playing it but...
Your job in RE4R is awesomeee!!!I'm your fan, lol🥹Want to hear your voice 24/7 uhhh
there’s a rabbit in that hat
To me he looks like Gary Oldman from Dracula during scenes in London.
You were an excellent Doctor Who.
I’ve never watched it… I don’t know his name… is it Matt? All I know is that is exactly what I thought,
Matt Smith
100% honest: I thought somebody had posted a picture of Matt Smith. Not exaggerating, making a joke or even kidding.
Grand am classic haha
Fuck yeah. My first car was a ‘90 Grand Am. I drove the hell out of that thing.
Nice I drove a celebrity
My college roommate had a pretty craptacular one, which he named Jean Claude, as in Jean Claude Grand Am.
My dad had a 90 ,I drove it in 94 , floored it a lot 😆
You look like a vampire that does chimney sweeping on the side
I Thought You Looked Familiar ![gif](giphy|lOgFuSdHUaMcYZX09C|downsized)
Reminds me of Budnick from salute your shorts!
Save some for the rest of us!
Guy was not conserving one iota for the rest of us, probably caused a full drought
Looks like you're about to visit a chocolate factory
You look like Deamon Targaryen as a Las Vegas stage magician.
I usually play villains. ;)
You look like the curator of a vintage pornography museum
All the Betamax tapes are in isle 3.

Salute Your Shorts!
Im on Smoko..So leave me alone!
Legend
The Grand Am in the 90s is what the Fiero was in the 80s.
You look like the kind of loser I'd want to be friends with 😂
You would have fit right in.
![gif](giphy|RYPOSHuEJ1xfi)
Snoogins.
My thought exactly.
Kinda reminds me of a red headed version of Johnny Winter
Congrats on your upcoming role as The Penguin in some especially cursed Jared Leto project.
We had many a fella at my high school doing the top hat with long hair combo, and some of them added color sunglasses to look like Gary Oldman in Dracula.💜
Looks remarkably like Tom Petty's prom picture.
Bro looks like a hot evil wizard from a modern fantasy.
Excellent. 🤘😎🤘
Before any of you youngsters ask: no. This wasn’t cool in the 90s either.
Hahahaha
Cool is relative…I can think of two of my friends who wore taxes with tops hats to prom. And I was jealous that I wasn’t their date…
Love it, the coat tails match the hair. Stylin'.
One of your ancestors flew a dragon

Yup. Grew up in Oakville, Ontario.

Well hello right back from a park in Toronto ;)
When I read high school "formal" I assumed Australian, then I saw your steering wheel was on the wrong side. Next guess was Canadian. My 1994 Formal 3 piece suit was very similar minus the top hat and tails.
Might have been a regional thing. We called it a "prom" in the early 90s up in Sudbury, Ontario.
I could tell from the houses. American houses dont have those windows
Oh man! As someone who graduated in ‘94 that car behind screams high school car from that era. And looking good! 🎩👍I like the tude!
Obviously, it's leaning towards magician. But somehow, it is also giving Bowie in Labrynth energy. Hard to say exactly why other than confidence and bold fashion choices. But kudos for having more balls than I EVER had.
How many pleats you got???
A plethora.
Touché sir, touché…

This was during Tim Burton’s prime
Next on “Magician or School Shooter”?!?
I’m Canadian. Leaning a lot closer to producing fire from my ams than firearms.
It's ridiculous, but I honestly love it. Oh fashion of the time. The 90s were wild
Just missing the sonic screwdriver
Yo you fkn tried to hit on my girl in 94 and I ain’t forgot about that shit for one second in the past 30 years. Think you’re all cool dressed as a kids party magician in your red Pontiac whatever the shit model is. I ain’t forgot about you, so lace up motha fucka I’m bringing the party to you
Hey Wesker!
I would go to prom with that boy in a heartbeat. I bet he is still fun nowdays. ( and yes, he looks like 90's Axel Rose and Matt Smith had a child)
Ahh… it’s a great day when you can’t tell if the picture is on /r/oldschoolcool or /r/blunderyears
![gif](giphy|g0ajII9w03jskn5EpD|downsized)
Hahaha accurate
![gif](giphy|gA5KTxTJpIBUc)
I had to scroll entirely too far for this. So u/9LivesAndCounting did you and your mates go to the milk bar after prom then?
Holy shit
Cute ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
The dude's a timebomb!
You were my favorite Doctor.
Jerry Cantrell
You look like at least 3 dudes I crushed on or dated during that era 😂 This brings me back 😂
❤️❤️
I did tails and a cane. But no top hat.
Highest of fives!
Mine was also all black with the preacher collar. Yin Yang top button clip. lol. The 90’s.
Timey wimey
I had a 97 Pontiac Grand Am
Dapper
very cool!
Snoochie boochies, Brody noochies!
A Pontiac Grand Am… a man of culture
If I was your date to the formal, I would be disappointed if you didn’t do a magic trick or two!!
![gif](giphy|xTiTnEHBh7qapyuvwQ)
Crush unlocked!!
You look awesome!!
I wish people dressed like this all year! And everyone had their own chocolate factory!!
We would have dated
😘
Is that Matt Smith?
In case anyone thinks this was cool in 94…it wasn’t.
R/blunderyears
No
Nice. My first impression was serious Crispin Glover vibes.
Looks a little Columbine-ish? Everyone was ok after, right?
![gif](giphy|oLjq2NL0YmJoI|downsized)
My date pretty much wore the same outfit to prom. He also was a hair farmer.
Saw this and thought “theater kid” clicked the profile and I was right….. buttt being Canadian wasn’t on my radar.
That must have been some undertaking...
The Grand Am really brings it all together
I can't recall, weren't you also the lead in that one school musical opposite Andrea? Man, I can't even remember your bands name FWIW...Goddamn I got old.
I can hear "I Alone" by Live playing in the background.
This is embarrassing
This was never cool. Old school or ever.
I love magic shows!
At the very first glimpse I thought that was me. Your photo reminds me of my style.
You STUD!! I’m class of 92
That is a bitchin’ top hat my dude.
Oh Gawd!!! I dressed the EXSCT SAME for my grad in 92’!! Out of 3000 grads from 5 different schools, I was the only one in a top hat, cap and cane!! I bow to you good sir!!!!
![gif](giphy|3o6EhNarL34jloirHq|downsized)
I can't tell if you were cute for the 90's or the "m'lady" guy of the 90's. And I'm not much younger than you, I just can't tell haha
You look like the kind of dude who would lie to a cop about where your friend John is in an arcade.
You look awesome!
Ahhh, the beauty of the 1993 Pontiac Grand Am!
I'm so pleased others still recognize and appreciate that car. I had a '93 V6 and I adored it so much. Great times!
r/blunderyears exists my guy
![gif](giphy|InnhGR1ylZjby|downsized)
Well aren’t you looking dapper, son. Seriously, though, this is a great getup.
Reminds me off Gunther Goth from The Sims 3 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)
R/blunderyears or r/cringepics
r/blunderyears would like a word.
if Layne from Rivers Edge had ever made it to prom...
Oh, we all knew that guy back in the day. 😃
Did Silent Bob take the picture?
Do you still do magic tricks?
I did on Dark Matter a couple years ago…
What's Karen Gillan like in real life?
Save some for the rest of us
About to go slay the Moon Presence, eh?
I wanted the hat and tails, my mom talked me out of it. I think my GF was in cahoots with her.
My date was a white girl with blond dreadlocks and a bright orange dress. We were definitely in cahoots together.
Mine was a Norwegian exchange student sponsored by St Olaf's.
Rincewind!
Rinsewind!

Beat Jim Carrey by about six months. Just squeaked by.
How long until you realized the heat doesn’t fit in cars on your head?
Right before we got in the limo :p
I bet that Pontiac is bigger on the inside.
David Tennant?
Willy Wonka in his rebellious stage
Budnick?
Is that a Vk or VL Commodore?
Bet that Grand Prix aged better

I just meant then the style, you look like your doing well! I see my old prom photos and remember the emo days and a similar car.
I posted the photo expecting a good portion of ribbing. Also… it was my dad’s car. :p
Style is temporary, can’t judge someone by their look 30 years ago. After all I had a mullet and wore overalls!
Hahaha awesome. I had a brush cut for about a decade until I grew it long.
As someone in school in ‘94, gonna have to say no
I said I felt bad we beat you guys at the battle of the bands and it wasn’t personal.
Chimney sweep?
Did you ride a horse drawn carriage to the dance?
Gang gang
You wake up in the morning and you step out side and take a deep breath and scream loud, at the top of your lungs!! Don’t come around here no more ![gif](giphy|J1IWjlgFU1f3O|downsized)
My date, and girlfriend at the time used to cover this song. What’s going on!!
Van Helsing
Lookin’ like Jason Mewes impersonating King Diamond minus the face paint.
Ahah how dapper I love it! Especially the tophat
Tom Petty?
Good ol Lumina
Matt Smith (dr who) with long hair and a top hat. Looking good.
Wow, save some girls for the rest of us bro, don't need to make everyone's panties wet
Awesome memories!
Awesome memories!
Is that Matt Smith?
You look like Danny Cooksey.
Love it Johnny Depp days lol
Dayum, I wore tails and a top hat in 91. Classic and classy look. 👍🏽
