Do the vest and tie worn with a tuxedo to prom need to be the same color or can the vest be one color and the tie another?
They do not need to be the same color. Since most proms are highly formal, white-tie would be suggested. However, you could pair a white tie with any color vest - green or purple would look really sharp. However, if you do choose to go with a strongly colored vest, it should definitely coordinate with your date's dress.

Black tie (Tuxedo) dates from 1860, when Henry Poole & Co., created a short smoking jacket for the then Prince of Wales to wear to informal dinner parties as an alternative to white tie, the standard formal dress.
Can you rent just the vest of a tuxedo from a place such as mens wearhouse?
Absolutely!!! Most tuxedo rental stores will not allow the rental of individual components that make up a tuxedo, i.e., shirt, tie, vest, etc. They see it as not worth their time or effort and choose not to "fool" with such things. Mens Wearhouse does not see it this way. Apparently, it's all in how you look at it - is the glass half empty or is it half full? My son needed just a vest and tie as he was able to wear my tux and they treated him as though he were renting full tuxedo outfits for a wedding. The service was great, the items were top notch and was very inexpensive.
What is the definition of black tie for men?
