If you’re looking for a prom dress that’s totally on trend, you’ll want to consider the styles that are most popular this season. Whether you’re the queen wanting to impress the court or simply dressing to please your boy, you’ll want to check out some of the new and trendy styles that are available.
Sizzling Hot in bright, bold colors.
In the past, white or light pastel dresses were what everyone wanted to wear. Not anymore. It’s time for you to stand out from the crowd by wearing bright and bold shades of orange, pink and yellow instead of their pale pastel counterparts. Bright colors can be really flattering, highlighting the features you want to accentuate and adding exciting color to your face. If you don’t feel bold enough to show up in an all-out sparkly dress, you can liven up a more understated dress by adding a colorful sash, trendy sarong, or another sparkly accent piece.
Ornaments, bracelets and beads
Dresses embellished with sequins, rhinestones, jewels and beading have heated up the mood this prom season. Any plain and simple dress can be brought into the glam zone by adding a few of these eye-catching accents. Plus, a jeweled tiara is the perfect accessory for these dazzling gowns. Covered in jewels from head to toe, you’ll feel like the princess you’ve always dreamed of being.
celebrity status
You already know the kind of dresses that celebrities wear when they go out to party. They are the dresses you see your favorite actresses wearing on tabloid television. These styles are very attractive and are now all the rage at high school proms across the country. Try watching award shows on television and take notes on dresses that you particularly like. Then you can start browsing prom dresses in similar styles to create your own diva look.
Here comes the party dress
The latest in prom dresses is taking from the wedding dresses that you have always seen and admired. Trains have made a real comeback this year in any length from a cropped overall to a full-length chapel style. There is nothing that can make you feel more like the queen of the ball than having one of your assistants carrying your tail like in the courts of old. His date is sure to treat him like royalty when she sees him dressed in his royal attire.
Ballerina skirts are big news
We’re not talking about tutus here. This style follows the pattern of the long and short dresses worn by prima ballerinas. Ballerina styles are great for accentuating a small waist and a well-toned upper body, as they feature very cinched bodices. Plus, you’ll feel flirty and full of fun in the knee-length puffy skirt. Some dresses come with tulle overlays that add an extravagant style to the look of the dress.
Feathers and Lace
You’ll love the funky style of prom dresses with feathers and lace on the skirts and bust. Gone are the sequins of yesteryear as you enter the 21st century with a style that’s as unique as you are. A dress with an asymmetrical ruffled hemline and feather embellishments will put you head and shoulders above more traditional frocks on the hot scale.
Peace brother
Would you believe that tie-dye is back in a big way, and will you be able to find prom dresses with eye-catching tie-dye patterns gracing the shelves of local stores? If you loved the look of tie dye t-shirts as a kid, you’ll adore this new style in prom dresses. Pair your tie-dye beauty with a pair of metallic gold or silver strappy sandals and start sizzling.
Try Mr. In-Between
You may be looking at prom dresses and torn between a flirty short skirt and an elegant floor-length gown. By choosing a dress with an asymmetrical hem, you can have the best of both worlds. Short in the front to show off your sexy, shapely legs and long in the back to gracefully grace the floor when you dance, you’re sure to attract a lot of attention. After all, it’s not every day you see a dress that’s both so unique and so flattering.
You are sure to love some or all of the new prom dress styles being introduced this year. Surely there is something out there that will complement your taste and make you feel comfortable and original. Make sure you choose a dress that makes you feel beautiful and relaxed, and no one at your prom will be able to outdo you in style.
