When dreaming of your high school prom, did you have a Cinderella-esque vision? Maybe a stunning ball gown with glass slippers? An entire day spent at the hair salon getting those curls pulled up just right? An appointment with a makeup artist that would transform you into the belle of the ball?
Snap out of it! Today’s prom girl tends to be less concerned with frills and fluff. We have seen a definite trend toward simple styles. And with the re-emergence of the cocktail, more prom-goers are opting for a short dress. The overwhelming popularity of printed prom gowns also contributes to the less formal look of most prom styles for 2010.

Prom Dresses, Prom Gowns, Prom 2010
Despite the flurry of excitement and activity that surrounds a high school prom, the bulk of the class is probably very nervous about the entire event: the clothing, the prom dress, the dates, and, of course, the dancing.
Unlike generations past, teenagers today aren’t sent to finishing schools, etiquette classes, or dance lessons. If you are nervous about dancing at your prom, having been forced to take a fox trot lesson or two may not sound too terrible. Today’s proms, however, require no knowledge of formal steps or dance routines – everyone moves to the music as the impulse strikes them. Dancing is similar to singing alone in your car or bedroom: you don’t think about how you are about to do it, you just start.

Prom Gowns, Prom Dresses, Prom Styles
Also you’ve got the choice of a strapless dress or one with straps. The strapless design is usually complimented with a beautiful sweetheart neckline which looks amazing and classical. The halter design on the other hand is usually found with a low plunge neckline, that added bit of wow factor still has class and femininity though.

Prom Dress Q & A
Once you have found your perfect prom dress and have figured out the many accessories you will wear, your next step is to think about what hairstyle you will want to wear for your special night. Your hair has the potential too look great, it doesn't matter its texture, length, or color.
The first thing you will want to decide is whether or not you are going to have your hair professionally done, or if you are going to do it yourself. If you choose to have your hair professionally done, your best choice would be to purchase a hair magazine, or search the internet for pictures of a variety of hairstyles. Once you have selected the prom hair style that you would like, clip it out and take it with you to the hair dressers so you can give them a perfect example of your desired look. It would be wise to go to a hair dresser with whom you are comfortable with; you will want to trust the stylist in charge of your hair. If you choose to have your hair done professionally be prepared to pay anywhere between 30$-70$ for it. You will also want to remember to bring your hair accessory with you when you go, so your hair dresser can apply it as a finishing touch. Wear a shirt that is buttoned up the front, that way you won’t have to worry about ruining your finishing project before you get into your dress. As a final tip you should remember to make your hair appointment at least two weeks in advance, that way you will ensure your appointment, and you won’t have to worry about being left out in the cold.
If you decide to do your hair yourself, there are many tips that you can find in both hair style magazines, and online. If you have long hair you will want to decide if you are going to pin it up, leave it down, have it straight or make it curly. If you desire curls, tight small ringlet curls is the look of the season. If your hair naturally has body, achieving such a curl should not be a difficult task, but if your hair is very fine and straight you will need to exercise different measures in order to get your hair to not only curl, but to stay curled. If you are planning on leaving your hair straight, you will want it to look soft, sleek and shiny. There are many hair products that can assist you in achieving both of these looks. Doing your own hair is not a bad idea at all, as long as you have the patience. Experiment with different hairstyles well before the night of your prom, and you will be able to discover the one you like best.
Having a great prom hairstyle is the finishing touch to your spectacular prom outfit. If it happens that your hair does not turn out the way that you had hoped, don’t panic, and improvise. There are always ways that you can turn a disaster into your own personal masterpiece. After all, your prom is not only about you looking good, it’s about you having a great time – don’t let anything spoil it!

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.
