Accessorizing Your Prom Look
Your prom is the opportunity for you to look and feel your best. It is that
one special night that you will remember, so what you choose to wear, and
how you choose to wear it can make all of the difference to the way your
prom shines in your memory. Once you have located that
perfect prom dress,
you will then want to choose the correct accessories to compliment your
outfit. The trick to the accessories you choose will depend heavily upon
the type of look you wish to achieve for your prom. The best way for you to
select your look is to narrow it down to these options
– “Classic
and Regal”,
“Simple
and Clean”
or
“Funky
Fashion”.
If you are aiming for the
“Classic
and Regal”
prom look, you will most likely choose a prom dress that is long, flowy and
elegant. The accessories that are most suitable to this look are often
short or chocker necklaces that are encrusted with beads, pearls, colorful
gems, or sparkly stones. It is wise to select the matching set of earrings,
or earrings that flatter the necklace. It is entirely your personal choice
if you wish to wear dangling earrings or studs. The best idea would be to
sample both and ask the opinion of a trust worthy critic. You may also wish
to glam-up your outfit with a ring or two, a bracelet and perhaps a
glittering tiara. If you are wearing a strapless dress you may wish to
adorn yourself with a lovely pair of long posh satin gloves. The most
popular colors for satin gloves are black and white, but you can also find
them in a variety of other colors. A dainty purse will finish off your
“Classic
and Regal”
prom look, and you’ll
be dressed to the nines!
A
“Simple
and Clean”
prom look is one that is more modern. It’s
not so much about the frills as it is about looking and feeling natural.
The prom dress that might appeal to you for this look could be one that is
long and sleek, or short and chic. The jewelry you may wear in order to
compliment your outfit should be something dainty and charming. You will
also find that a small purse will also flatter your attire. The
“Simple
and Clean”
look isn’t
about being flashy it’s
about the perfect touch. You don’t
require gloves, a tiara or the complete set of matching jewelry, all you
need is to look and feel your best. Remember it’s
your prom, there is no law that states you must look like a movie
stereotype; just be you, and wear what makes you feel beautiful.
The last of these looks is
“Funky
Fashion”,
and this is a style that is geared towards those with a little more flare,
and eccentric tastes. If this is where your heart lies, there is no telling
what form of prom dress you will choose to wear. The accessory tips
that you will need to think about, will depend most importantly on your
outfit. Keep in mind that although it is fun to be wild, there is still a
line you won’t
wish to cross. Do not fall into the trap of becoming a fashion disaster by
clashing! Stay away from excessive chunky jewelry, and conflicting colors.
Most proms are formal occasions, so make sure you are aware of what is
allowed before you start concocting to many racy ideas for your outfit.
“Funky
Fashion”
is about originality and creativity. The key is to create a look for prom
that compliments you.
It doesn't
matter which of these fashions suits your taste. All that matters is that
you feel good about how you look in your prom dress when all is said and
done. You don’t
need to overly concern yourself with accessories, because it’s
choosing the prom dress that is usually the hardest part. Shopping for
accessories is usually a fun expedition, whether it is at the mall or
online, that you can enjoy with your best friends. Have a great time at
your prom and take with you the one accessory that no fashion style should
be without, your camera.
