If you are getting ready for this year’s prom, your biggest decision will be your dress and there are quite a few styles to consider. You could go classic or if you are brave, go for something slinky and this is something that shouldn’t be rushed for obvious reasons.

Here are a few key aspects to consider when choosing a prom dress.

• Choose A Style That Works For You – This might sound too obvious, but we all have our own unique personality and that should always shine through in our chosen look. If you are a bubbly, outgoing type of girl, a slinky LBD would work, while an introvert might feel comfortable in a traditional corset style gown. Go with your inner feeling rather than what your friends think; use friends for some reassurance after you’ve made up your mind. Borrow a few of mom’s dresses and try a few on, taking selfies for future reference.

• Google Images – We all know that Google can answer just about any question, but you might not know that using the images feature, you can view thousands of traditional and trendy prom dresses. Check out Peaches Boutique sexy black prom dress from a well-known designer and they have various search functions. You can search by price, style, designer or color. With more than 40 noted designers on their books, you get to view stunning creations and prices are lower than in a traditional retail outlet.

• Traditional – At least when you go traditional, you know you’ve got it right and a corset style gown would be perfect. Search online for designer dress boutiques if you want the best selection and spending a couple of hours browsing should lead to a shortlist. Beige or ivory would be perfect for the girl with fair hair and complexion, while a lilac blue works for darker skin. Experiment with accessories and you should end up with a look that says a lot about you.

• Sleek & Sexy – If you are confident that you can pull off a mini-LBD, the prom is the time to pull out all the stops. Make sure you get your vital stats correct when buying a clinging dress and always opt for the next size up if in doubt (your local seamstress can handle the minor alterations). Red nails, bright lipstick and sterling silver jewelry, with a red clutch bag, red high heel shoes are perfect for the short LBD. Black and red go together like bread and butter and with silver jewelry, the look is complete. More information on the history of the LBD is available online. A quick search on Google should lead you to related articles.

Classic Or Trendy? Traditional Or Sexy?

The choices are many and if you start with your personality and go with your inner feeling, you should choose the perfect dress and the prom will be something you remember for many years. It is important to remember the objective of the prom – for you and your friends to have a good time. If you love to get on the dance floor, take that into account when choosing your outfit. Some girls take a pair of trainers for the dancing and kick off their high heels, or you could go barefoot!
