Ideas For Prom Accessories
After you have chosen your gown for your senior prom, you will want to accessorize it.You can have the most beautiful gown, but it will look lost if not part of a full ensemble. Finding a prom dress that is trendy and fashionable and makes you feel beautiful is only half of the battle. When you add just the right finishing touches, then you've really created a great look for your prom night. Accessories are what tie an outfit together. They allow you to create an endless combination of ways to express your style or accent your outfit. If you are feeling a little overwhelmed or would like some suggestions on how to add the extra details that make you worthy of the prom queen title, check out the make-up, shoes, and accessories tips below. In general, you should choose make-up shades that are a bit more glamorous than what you would normally wear, but not so wild that they will overwhelm your date and friends. The shades of make-up you purchase will depend upon your personal coloring and taste, as well as the color and style of your prom dress. Make it special; don't just copy your typical daily makeup. You might also want to get some instruction before prom night from a professional. As for the color scheme of your make up, since you chose a gown color based what flatters your complexion, choose your makeup colors based on your gown. Wear accessories that match both your outfit and jewelry. Depending on how you plan to wear your hair, these accessories may include hair clips, feathers, jewels or extensions. For natural-looking hair extensions, match your natural hair color. Men should choose hair and head accessories that are tasteful and formal. Avoid wearing simple baseball caps or over-the-top items, such as colorful hair bands. A slinky, sexy dress calls for a slinky pair of shoes to accompany it. If your dress shows off your curves in all the right places, try wearing a pair of strappy, open-toed sandals or sling-backs with a stiletto heel. If your skirt brushes the floor or even includes a train, choose a simple pair of shoes to wear with it. A pointy-toed, medium-heeled shoe will sneak out from under your dress every once in a while and make the perfect fashion accompaniment. Your choice of shoes should depend upon the color and style of your prom dress and your level of comfort in the shoes. If you do not believe you can dance (or even walk) in a pair of stilettos, you can always choose a low-heeled option that can still be quite sexy. A row of sequins or jewels along the neckline, bottom of the skirt or waist can dramatically alter the appearance of your dress. Men can add a simple silver or gold chain, and a fashionable watch to complete the look. Wear bracelets and earrings that match your necklace chain. Find a matching necklace with either a silver or gold chain or a stone similar to your dress color. If you buy these items in a set, it is likely they will all have a jewel to match the dress and will tie in perfectly with your outfit. A silver purse or clutch can bring the jewelry out while matching it with the undertones of your dress can make them more noticeable. Lastly, never forget that you will be getting a corsage to wear from your date. With the perfect accessories in hand, you should enter the ballroom floor at your prom looking beautiful, glamorous, and ready to have a ball.
