Prom is a special event in the life of every young girl. And for guys, it's also a special moment, because a certain stage of life is ending and they are all on the threshold of a new one.
The preparation period is always very touching and sometimes even stressful for parents, too. But if you have to worry about choosing an outfit for young men, it's definitely not so much when it comes to young ladies. After all, there are so many details in the image, besides the outfit: hairstyle, makeup, accessories, manicure!
I want this fabulous evening to be especially memorable. Every girl wants to be the most beautiful, and she also wants to stand out from everyone not only with her beauty, but also with her individuality, and she also wants the dress to be not only incredibly beautiful, but also comfortable. And maybe, it could be worn somewhere later, after the prom.
In short, there are so many requirements for clothing and image that your head can spin! That's why we've gathered all the latest trends and successful ideas in this article to make it easier to find exactly what you need.
A charming mini, an elegant midi or a luxurious maxi?
One of the latest trends in prom dresses is short dresses. There are many variations for the shape! From laconic ones without decor to dresses with lush skirts decorated with bows, ribbons or flowers. Translucent fabrics are especially fashionable now. This, by the way, applies to any length - a charming mini, an elegant midi or a luxurious maxi. And most importantly, a translucent fabric does not equal a revealing outfit. After all, the multi-layering, with the help of which the dress acquires extraordinary lightness and airiness, easily compensates for the light temper of transparent fabric. Over the past few years, embroidery elements have confidently and, it seems, for a long time filled the niche of decor in the design of clothes. This has not passed by the prom dresses either. Contrasting embroidery or in the tone of the product, with a traditional Ukrainian ornament or any floral or abstract pattern - here there is complete freedom for the imagination and taste of the future owner of the outfit. As we mentioned, translucent silhouettes are particularly popular right now. And if you don't want your shoulders to be exposed, a dress with transparent sleeves or inserts in the neck and shoulders would be a great solution.
Skirts with pleated or small folds that form soft waves will look especially charming in a mini or midi length prom dress. Despite the relevance of short dresses, floor-length dresses occupy a special place in the list of prom dresses. They, like nothing else, can emphasize the solemnity and special status of the event. Too lush, similar to wedding dresses, will not be as relevant in the 21/22 seasons as those that came to replace them with a straight but free cut.
Also, the “mermaid tail” silhouette will be a relevant one. Such a dress will definitely help to make an unforgettable impression and will not leave the young lady without attention and admiring glances. If we talk about the length, then the undoubted highlight of this year will be the dress with the “mallet” style. Short in front, gradually lengthening to the back of the hem, it resembles a peacock’s tail. And we did not make such an analogy in vain, because, in addition to the fact that the dress visually has an obvious similarity with the outlines of the plumage of this extremely beautiful bird, and figuratively speaking, it will undoubtedly give the status of the most beautiful bird to its owner. The gradient on midi and maxi length dresses looks extremely gentle. And it doesn’t matter at all whether it is a rich red color of the dress or a calm pastel, the gradient will equally successfully fit into any color scheme.
Another of the win-win options for a prom dress, a well-known invention of Coco Chanel, is a little black dress. This is the very case when the dress will be relevant for many more seasons and will be appropriate for many events. After all, this invention is truly great and has repeatedly helped out many fashionistas who have experienced all the hardships of choosing an outfit among a large number of charming dresses. By the way, the dress may not necessarily be black. For those who like laconic and minimalist dresses made of fabric of the same color with minimal decor, or even without it at all, they will be a good solution. Such an outfit will be a frame that will emphasize the beauty of the girl and will not draw attention to itself. And the image can always be aptly complemented with accessories that will emphasize individuality.
Should shoes be versatile or stylish? Or can they be both?
Another important detail that must be taken into account when thinking about an image for the prom. Although, let's be realistic, in this matter there are no unimportant details. The formula for creating a harmonious image is quite simple. You need to maintain balance. If you have chosen an outfit that has quite visible accents, such as a bright color, voluminous decor or an unusual cut, you should give preference to classic models of shoes and sandals. In terms of color, it is also better to give preference to the classics: black, red, white and beige. A fashionable trick that absolutely all stylists recommend is to complement the image with classic-shaped pumps with a pointed toe. Even if there are no beige shades in the image, even if the image is in dark colors. Beige pumps are always a universal and stylish solution in absolutely any situation.
If, on the contrary, the image is minimalist, then you can safely complement it with generously decorated shoes. Large bows, rhinestones, flowers, whatever you consider appropriate. This way, you will be able to place the necessary accents and maintain the same balance that we talked about, preventing the image from looking too colorful or boring. Another clever trick that will help you choose the right shoes that will complement not only the outfit intended for the prom, but also make a good match in other circumstances is the choice of a classic shoe shape. It can be with a pointed toe or square - it does not matter much, because now there are so many options in trend that the requests of even the most demanding fashionista will be satisfied. But, the main thing is to avoid too complex and bizarre shapes. It is also better to leave the wedge for another occasion. Although it is comfortable, it definitely will not add sophistication and elegance to the image, and may even completely spoil the entire solemn look.
On the waves of youth or which hairstyle to prefer
Naturalness is in trend now. And it can also be applied to a hairstyle for a prom. Soft, slightly curled strands are the "beige boats" among hairstyles. An absolutely universal and simple option that will suit almost every face shape and will be appropriate in combination with any outfit.
Also in trend are various types of weaving, but again with an emphasis on soft waves and volume. Volume should be avoided only in one case - if it is a high tight tail or braid. Although, the option with a high but lush tail looks no less attractive. Accessories in the form of mechanical hairpins, hoops, wreaths and ribbons have not lost their relevance, although they have changed somewhat. We recommend leaving only hairpins with stones and tiaras in the past. In everything else, when it comes to hair jewelry, you can give free rein to your imagination.
Natural beauty
Makeup is another extremely important component of the image. After all, if it is unsuccessful, even the most beautiful dress and hairstyle will not be able to save the image. As we mentioned earlier, naturalness is in trend now, so the main task of makeup for a graduate will be to emphasize the natural beauty of the young girl. It is worth refraining from aggressive and heavy makeup: coal-black smokey eyes, large sweeping arrows on the eyelids and porcelain skin. It is better to give preference to natural shades, even smokey eyes, made in brown and any other color, less heavy than black, will look festive and in accordance with the solemn mood of the evening. You should not be afraid of bright colors of shadows either, but here it is better to trust a professional to choose the right shade of a particular color, because you can seriously make a mistake.
If you approach the choice of makeup from a practical point of view, then it is best to focus on the eyes. After all, during the evening you will have to refresh your lipstick more than once. And it is better for the graduate to have memories of the evening itself, rather than obsessive thoughts about having to touch up her makeup. Lush eyelashes, nude smokey eyes, classic arrows, neatly laid eyebrows - all this together and separately will emphasize the beauty and expressiveness of the eyes.
Instead of porcelain skin, skin with a minimum of foundation or no foundation at all will look advantageous. Here, the type of makeup and the girl's skin type will allow you to make a choice. Well-moisturized, healthy, glowing skin is in fashion now. Therefore, you can not spare the highlighter and nourishing face masks the day before.
Manicure without manicure
The most important trend in the field of nail plate care and decoration this year is a manicure without a manicure, as it is called. Or rather, it is a manicure without a coating. Just well-groomed, as natural as possible nails. But, if the soul still requires a holiday in everything, then why not complement the image with bright or not very nails. The main thing is that they match the overall image. The laconic design of the nail plate, made in one color, is something that will definitely complement the image without spoiling it. It is better to refuse decor in the form of drawings or rhinestones, otherwise the image may look too motley.
We understand that restrained classics are not for everyone, because tastes and preferences are different. Then we advise you to pay attention to a few new techniques. Everyone's favorite French manicure, for example, can be made bright. Due to the type of technique itself, this design will not look oversaturated, even if a bright color is used instead of white.
Another magical technique is the “cat’s eye.” It looks very unusual and even fabulous. Shiny nails will definitely be appropriate in a festive setting and will emphasize the specialness of the evening.
