Sunflowers and Sundresses: Prom madness

Prom fashion style has evolved over the years, but it is consistently classy. Some girls look to celebrities for inspiration, some go classic, and others want to make a bold statement. From the dress to the shoes, there are plenty of things to play with to achieve a glam look.

Prom season 2014 is all about the beautiful colors. Black, white, gold, pastels and purple are the dazzling colors to watch for. From pretty pinks to mellow mints there are pastel colors for any girl. Pastel colors are for the romantics at heart who are looking to achieve a soft look. Mint was everywhere this summer, and it is not going anywhere this prom season. This sorbet hue will make a strong statement that no one will be able to ignore. This year’s fashion trend that is making the biggest impact is beautiful backs. Dresses with cut-outs, straps, sparkles, and gorgeous ribbon ties will make for some jaw dropping moments. Prints are the next big prom trend this year. A bold printed gown will make a statement that screams “look at me.” Aim for the bigger prints to avoid and overwhelmingly busy dress. Pair the pattern with a long dress to keep the look fashion-forward. Glam embellishments will take a dress from special to drop dead gorgeous. When choosing a glittering dress, keep the jewelry to a minimum to avoid drawing attention away from the gown.

 A girl’s number one accessory is her hair. Styling hair depends on the style of the dress and the overall look attempting to be achieved. A boho braided up do gives off a much more laid back look but still has an elegant flare. A messy bun matches perfectly with dresses that have gorgeous backs that are meant to be shown off. A straight and sleek hairstyle will give off a sexy vibe and stand out from the crowd. In contrast retro waves will add that extra glam to strapless and one shoulder gowns.

Shoes are timeless from prom season to prom season. Nude pumps were everywhere this year and prom is no exception. Nude pumps give a look of sophistication and simplicity; they pair the best with strong colored gowns. Shoes with a little sparkle are a perfect option with dresses that may have simple cuts and simple colors. Gorgeous flats are still a perfect option for girls who do not want to tower over their dates, or do not want to get blisters and tired feet. Sandals with sparkle and embellishment will add the spice needed and keep those feet happy.
