Accessorizing Your Prom Gown Look

Your prom is the opportunity for you to look and feel your best. It is that one special night that you will remember, so what you choose to wear, and how you choose to wear it can make all of the difference to the way your prom shines in your memory. Once you have located that perfect prom dress, you will then want to choose the correct accessories to compliment your outfit. The trick to the accessories you choose will depend heavily upon the type of look you wish to achieve for your prom. The best way for you to select your look is to narrow it down to these options – “Classic and Regal”, “Simple and Clean” or “Funky Fashion”.

If you are aiming for the “Classic and Regal” prom look, you will most likely choose a prom dress that is long, flowy and elegant. The accessories that are most suitable to this look are often short or chocker necklaces that are encrusted with beads, pearls, colorful gems, or sparkly stones. It is wise to select the matching set of earrings, or earrings that flatter the necklace. It is entirely your personal choice if you wish to wear dangling earrings or studs. The best idea would be to sample both and ask the opinion of a trust worthy critic. You may also wish to glam-up your outfit with a ring or two, a bracelet and perhaps a glittering tiara. If you are wearing a strapless dress you may wish to adorn yourself with a lovely pair of long posh satin gloves. The most popular colors for satin gloves are black and white, but you can also find them in a variety of other colors. A dainty purse will finish off your “Classic and Regal” prom look, and you’ll be dressed to the nines!

A “Simple and Clean” prom look is one that is more modern. It’s not so much about the frills as it is about looking and feeling natural. The prom dress that might appeal to you for this look could be one that is long and sleek, or short and chic. The jewelry you may wear in order to compliment your outfit should be something dainty and charming. You will also find that a small purse will also flatter your attire. The “Simple and Clean” look isn’t about being flashy it’s about the perfect touch. You don’t require gloves, a tiara or the complete set of matching jewelry, all you need is to look and feel your best. Remember it’s your prom, there is no law that states you must look like a movie stereotype; just be you, and wear what makes you feel beautiful.






The last of these looks is “Funky Fashion”, and this is a style that is geared towards those with a little more flare, and eccentric tastes. If this is where your heart lies, there is no telling what form of prom dress you will choose to wear. The accessory tips that you will need to think about, will depend most importantly on your outfit. Keep in mind that although it is fun to be wild, there is still a line you won’t wish to cross. Do not fall into the trap of becoming a fashion disaster by clashing! Stay away from excessive chunky jewelry, and conflicting colors. Most proms are formal occasions, so make sure you are aware of what is allowed before you start concocting to many racy ideas for your outfit. “Funky Fashion” is about originality and creativity. The key is to create a look for prom that compliments you.

It doesn't matter which of these fashions suits your taste. All that matters is that you feel good about how you look in your prom dress when all is said and done. You don’t need to overly concern yourself with accessories, because it’s choosing the prom dress that is usually the hardest part. Shopping for accessories is usually a fun expedition, whether it is at the mall or online, that you can enjoy with your best friends. Have a great time at your prom and take with you the one accessory that no fashion style should be without, your camera.
