Choosing your prom dresses, I think, may be the most highlight of the planning process. And the right color can decide whether your prom dress is perfect.
Consider what color goes well with your skin tone, eye and hair color. Try on some flattering styles in different colors. Take into account the dress styles that you like and how they’ll look in different colors.
Keep in mind that the latest trends in dress colors might not look right on you if they don’t flatter your best natural attribute. Check out the fashion magazines and websites for ideas, but don’t be disappointed if the latest red carpet look is not for you. Remember that your prom dress should make you look best.
Your skin tone probably is the most important factor in determining what dress colors would look best on you. If you still can’t decide, then think about the clothes in your closet. What colors are you drawn to when shopping for new items? You know what looks good on you.
You should know something basic such as little black dress can say classy and sophisticated. Red is bold, sexy, and daring. Blue and green are friendly, calm, perhaps more down to earth. You can look like royalty in gold or silver, or pink can make you look like the princess. Also, shoes, purses and other accessories can either compliment or contrast with your dress to make a statement, so think about all of these items when choosing your prom dress color.
Try different colored dresses while standing in the most natural light possible, and note which ones make your skin look bright and not washed out.
