With an overwhelming amount of choice open to you, selecting your perfect prom dress has never been harder. There's just so many different options. Thankfully, we're looking at some tips on how to narrow down that sea of dresses to find 'the one'. Hoping to cut down your stress levels as you go on the ultimate dress hunt, these are the tips and tricks that will just make shopping a bit simpler.
Dress Trends for Prom 2018
Ask yourself if you're concerned with looking on-trend. There are several very obvious prom trends emerging for 2018, so if you want to look fashion-forward, take note of these. They include:
- Velvet and 'Iridescent look' materials
- Minimalist dresses with no embellishment, a focus on cut/color
- Pastel hues - lilac, pale pink/blush, eggshell blue are all trending
- Metal colors - gunmetal, silver, gold
- The mermaid 'hourglass look' gown
- Lace overlay, oversized frills, cut-outs and open backs
Shop For Your Body Type & Skin Tone
As well as taking note of big trends, you'll want to make sure the dress you pick actually suits you! That means taking the time to try on a selection of different dresses. The more you try on, the more you'll get a feel for what's flattering. Take note of your shape and highlight your favorite features. Find a dress that gives you confidence and reflects your own style, as well as what's on trend.
Don't forgot to factor in skin tone. No matter what color you love, it has to also coordinate with you. Try the dress on and see how the color impacts your complexion. Does it make you look drained, or does the color highlight your natural glow?
How To Make a Final Decision
If you're struggling to make a final decision, make a short list of your favorites. This will at least narrow down your options. Now, try on your list and see if you've changed your mind. Take a photo of each options in the changing room, if allowed. Go home, think it over and show your choices to friends/family, who can offer you a second opinion.
Choose the dress that makes you feel like the best version of yourself, and enjoy your special night!
