With Prom just around the corner, I can almost hear the estrogen fuelled screams of frustration as girls everywhere on campus begin to panic over what to wear and who to take. While I can’t help any girls with matchmaking, I can offer some assistance over the first problem. Here are some huge trends that are sure to be big Prom season 2013.
The Red, the White, and the Gold
Bright red, pure white, and metallic gold – these are three show-stopping colors that are all sure to make you stand out and have been trending on red carpets at award shows and inevitably high school proms. Now these colors aren’t for the wallflowers out there; you will be sure to stick out in a crowd if you wear any of these colors, but sometimes it’s fun to show off your confident side with a bold, bright red. An elegant white gown might even bring out the Marilyn Monroe in you. Or try making a statement with a metallic gold dress. Any choice you pick, you’re sure to be the bell
of the ball. If you’re looking for a dress, check out LA’s Fashion District for some more affordable, but beautiful dresses.
Statement Necklaces
Big, chunky necklaces are the fad this season and will be a beautiful accessory to the gorgeous gown you choose to wear to Prom. Make sure, however, that your dress’ neckline doesn’t clash too harshly with such a bold accessory. But don’t shy away from the unusual colors or daring designs for said necklace. It may be the final touch that makes your outfit really pop. Thrift shops like Buffalo Exchange are sure to have some amazingly funky necklaces which won’t empty your wallet.
Color-Block Heels
Speaking of pop, color block heels are all the rage right now. They’re trendy, cute, and definitely fashion forward. And it seems that everyone is catching on. Nearly every major shoe line and many of the smaller ones have introduced a variant of this look, and it’s obvious why. It can really tie an outfit together and make you glow the night of prom. So instead of the typical, and
Sweetheart Neckline
sometimes boring, black or nude pumps, try on a pair of these cheeky, colorful shoes.
What screams prom more than the ever classy, traditional sweetheart neckline? It seems that this look never goes out of fashion and for good reason. It’s a flattering cut that really gives an elegant touch to prom that is sure to make your prom date blush. It is the quintessential Prom look and is so easy to pull off.
Now that you know all the ins and outs of this year’s fashion trends, it may be a tad easier to find the perfect dress for one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the year. I wish you luck in dress hunting, date hunting, and in making Prom the best night of your life.
