Tips from a stylist

In order not to waste time looking at endless options that will cause even more doubts, start with the following points:

  • research trends;
  • analyze your options;
  • pay attention to the details;

You will definitely feel even more confident if you take the time to research trends. If you choose an accent color, print, or even a cut, you are much more likely to hit the mark.
Remember that a prom dress is only an option, not a rule. It can be replaced, for example, with a skirt made of faux silk, a corset, and a cropped jacket. By the way, this method will also allow you to visually narrow your waist.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different models and colors of dresses. Trying on a dress will help you find the perfect fit for you. Always take into account your body shape. To draw attention to the waist, choose a suit with a bandage in this area. If you want to elongate the silhouette, add more vertical lines to the image. This can be easily done by simply throwing a jacket over it.

Trends for 2024

The most important rule in choosing an outfit for prom is to look at your reflection in the mirror with pleasure. To make the image play with even brighter colors, pay attention to the following trends:

  • asymmetry;
  • metallic shine;
  • color saturation;
  • additional volumes;
  • V-neckline.

Asymmetrical cutouts will add mystery and originality to the image. While the outfit with metallic inserts or sequins will help to add a special festive look.
Also pay attention to the correct separation of volumes. If you choose a massive top, it is better to combine it with a narrower bottom. Or “draw” the waist with a belt. If the top is narrow, the rule also works in the opposite direction. It is recommended to work with the length according to the same principle – open legs, hence long sleeves, deep neckline, midi or maxi length.

 

Bright and saturated colors such as coral, Burgundy or blue are especially relevant in 2024. Of course, you need to choose the color carefully so that the tone is in harmony with your natural features. Trendy shades will make the right accents. If you’re not ready to base your entire look on a trendy color, then pay attention to the details – a bag, jewelry, etc.

Dresses with tulle skirts or voluminous decorative elements will add lightness to your look. A model with a V-neckline on the back or décolleté is the perfect dress when you want to attract maximum attention. It is only important to choose a not too deep neckline.
