The approach of prom is always exciting and a little perplexing. What to choose as an outfit, what style to give preference to? I want to look my best, be unlike anyone else, conquer my chosen one and surprise my friends. There are so many things running through your head when you are preparing for your first ball! If you make a mistake and choose the wrong outfit, your holiday could be ruined!
What should be the “ideal” dress?
After listening to everyone who has already experienced the graduation ceremony, take a short break. Now it’s your turn to choose a dress by color, length, style and figure, find an outfit that reflects your own self, emphasizes your strengths, hiding your flaws. It is best to combine a more formal outfit for the formal part with a beautiful dress for the evening.
It should look good in daylight, in soft evening twilight and with the electricity on. And at the same time not hinder movements, harmonize with the girl’s plasticity.
IMPORTANT! The material from which the outfit is made must ideally match individual characteristics. It should not cause unpleasant tactile sensations or wrinkle. A little synthetic in the fabric will help the dress maintain its original appearance.
What to avoid in holiday attire
An outfit that takes into account the mistakes of past graduates and the advice of stylists will help you avoid disappointment and enjoy the holiday.
Styles and models that are not suitable for prom
- The romantic style of classic dresses for balls and entertainment of the last century is very attractive. Lush bottom, narrow corset, neckline − an excellent choice. But a little practicality won't hurt. After all subsequently there will be nowhere to wear such an outfit. And to wear such a dress, you need to rehearse more than once or twice.
- Model "dress-cake" forces you to keep a sufficient distance, somewhat limits mobility, and requires a certain “approach.”
- Guipure looks “heavy”. It is better to refuse it, as and from large peas. It looks too simple.
- Maximum length A ball gown can also be awkward for those who usually prefer mini or skinny jeans.
- It's easy to choose your length. Only don't expose yourself too much, even having the desire to demonstrate the beauty of the legs, back, neckline, otherwise the outfit will more likely resemble a disco, “beach” or not quite a decent option. Your prom goals are slightly different. Is not it?
Important! The ideal option is a cocktail dress. They were specially designed for events such as graduation.
Which colors are better not to choose?
By prom night, girls already know which colors suit them and which do not.
- Formal models look great on many people black, rich navy and grey, deep browns and beiges, poisonous greens. They'll fit great on another occasion, but not now.
Important! Graduation is a celebration of youth, freshness, and the expectation of happiness. And pastel colors are back at the peak of fashion. Pinkish, bluish, light green fabrics are ideal for chiffon cocktail dresses.
- Red color is always in fashion. But not just any shade is suitable for prom, and red color - not for every figure.
- Stripes are in fashion now. It's great if this option suits you. Only don’t get carried away with clear and contrasting lines - they are for everyday style. For a prom, smooth, blurry shading stripes on silk fabric are just what you need.
What jewelry is better not to wear to prom?
It is better to choose jewelry after purchasing a dress. When fantasizing about this topic, do not forget about simple rules.
- Don't burden your look with a lot of jewelry. Excessiveness in this case will only harm. A lot of bulky decorations will greatly harm the young housewife. Only one, maximum two decorations will look advantageous, the rest will only disrupt the overall style.
Important! A well-chosen set (earrings or clips, a chain with or without a pendant, perhaps a bracelet) should only highlight the outfit and not overshadow it.
- Avoid bulky grandma jewelry. Youth is the time for light and stylish jewelry and elegant items made of gold and silver.
- Avoid short earrings if your dress is floor-length.
- Put it aside jewelry that does not match the color of the dress.
What mistakes should young men avoid?
Speaking about graduation, one cannot fail to emphasize its importance for young people.Their hopes and aspirations also deserve due attention. The image created at the prom becomes the calling card of a person beginning his adult life, and also remains in the memory of his classmates for a long time.
- Avoid black suits, shirts and socks. It's too solemn, you won't be able to have fun wearing it.
- Graduation is not a beach party. Short pants, shorts, and T-shirts look stupid.
- Often graduates feel the urge to dress in a linen or cotton suit. This is understandable: it's hot. However, you shouldn't do this. Reason for the ban − the suit loses its appearance after an hour or two. It’s better to just take off your jacket after the formal part.
- Sandals on bare feet and sneakers are also not suitable. Choose not too expensive, but comfortable classic shoes for dancing and walking.
