It is time to bring out your best in the right dress – it is time for prom! When you are planning to buy the perfect dress, and frantically looking for ways to find it, you are sure to come across different suggestions. They would tell you to find a dress that fits your figure, your style, your personality, and so on.
How do you decide on a particular prom dress color? Here are a few handy tips that would make this task a little easier for you.
Check out your wardrobe – rummage through the pieces and separate the ones you love the most and the ones that fetch the most compliments. Is there a particular shade that dominates these groups? If yes, you need to find prom gowns or short dresses in this.
Do not follow a color trend blindly – perhaps the hot color this season is pink; however, if your skin looks washed away or dull in pink, you need not pick a pink dress, even if it is the ‘in’ thing.
Understand which color brightens your skin – if your skin has yellow to brown undertones, you would look good in honey yellow, red, brown, etc. If your skin has blue to green undertones, you would look good in purple, blue, emerald green, etc. Put different color fabrics against your face – the color that brings a glow is the right choice.
Co-ordinate your dress color with your eye color – a fair-skinned girl with green eyes would look superb in a jade dress while a beige-skinned girl with amber eyes would look pretty in a gold dress. Play up your eye color – it is sure to succeed.
Pick the color you love – perhaps it is the best thing to go with your instincts when it comes to choosing the right color for your prom dress. There is sure to be a lot of advice out there – but at the end of the day, you know which color works best for you.
If a color does not go well, add a hint of it to the palette – you love a certain hue, but it does not go well on you. What do you do in such a situation? Do not worry; add a touch of the color – maybe in the bag or jewelry. Just do not forget to co-ordinate.
Anything of too much is going to spoil the look – solid colors work well, especially if you choose formal wear dresses to the prom. Know how to co-ordinate the dress and the accessories. Do not walk into the party in a pink dress with pink jewelry, bag and sandals – it would be more of a fashion disaster than a fashion statement!
Well, it sure seems to be a lot of hard work to pick out the right color dress for the prom. However, just putting an extra bit of effort in this would ensure that you dazzle the party! Moreover, the photos of the prom would be there always – and you sure do not want to rue the moment you chose a certain dress.
