While school may just be starting, it’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s prom. Some of the designers are already coming up with prom dresses, meaning you can buy your dress first and literally be the trendsetter for next yearโs prom night. Before you go too crazy, do take time to research what fashion trends are returning again, as well as which ones are new.
How to Dress like a Trendsetter for Prom
In order to be a true trendsetter, you need to research a few different things and know where to shop for prom dresses. We know the best places to shop! This is imperative because you want a shop or site that carries a variety of styles and colours so that you’ll find one that flatters your body type and skin tone. This is because finding current trends is only part of it, and how it makes you look and feel really factors in for when you glide down those steps and feel like a million dollars.
- Show off your flat stomach with a newer prom fashion trend, the two-piece prom dress. These come in both short and flared styles, and longer ball gowns, depending on how much skin you want to show. Both Sherri Hill and Mori Lee Sticks and Stones feature some cute flared shorter dresses with beaded cropped tops and chiffon or taffeta For the longer style, consider an alluring Alyce Paris gown with a high-neck beaded copped neck and a long jersey skirt.
- Consider flaunting your look in the ever popular high low prom dresses. These dresses allow you to show off long, shapely legs in the front, while having a long flowing skirt in the back so you don’t feel over exposed. In addition, this combination has a youthful vibe, and it’s easy to dance in this type of gown. Some stunning high-low prom dresses include a La Femme sequinned prom dress with a chiffon longer, detachable skirt or a one-shoulder Milano chiffon formal dress, complete with a flowing skirt and ruched bodice.
- Highlight your neckline with a one-shoulder prom dress. These dresses are popular because they feature just the right amount of edge and detail without taking away from the classic beauty of a traditional chiffon prom dress.
- Appeal to your sexy side with an illusion-style prom dress. These have become more popular in recent months, and the sheer mesh fabric makes it look like you have a bare layer of skin. Typically, illusion designs are placed near the neckline or on the back of the dress so it looks like you have a sexy, bare back. While you can pair illusion mesh with any colour or style, it looks stunning with silver as it really highlights an almost second bare skin.
While knowing these trends is imperative for you to choose a show stopping prom dress, it’s just as important that you know which types of dress flatter your body type.
