The Black Prom Dress – How to be Staggering in One for the Big Night
The black prom dress has and will always be a great choice for prom night. A lot of the time it’s as gorgeous as it is versatile. When choosing one wear for the big event there are many styles to choose from, it just depends on the type of style you would most like to wear. There is glamorous and and elegant (like the attire at the Grammy awards) which represents beauty and grace, like that of a ball gown. Then there is also the shorter sassier style (like the attire at the MTV awards) that gives an edgier more playful look. Whatever style you chose that is best for you, I’m sure you’ll take a look in the mirror with it on and find it perfect.
You can do many things with a black prom dress to add to the look. Let’s think of the shoes for a moment. Black shoes with a black dress would be the safest choice but there is nothing wrong with adding a splash of color to the whole look. Personally I think brightly colored shoes look amazing with a black dress. If it’s a shorter dress try on some open toed or strappy heels in different colors like hot pink or a bright blue. You can also try metallic shoes in gold or silver depending on any accessories you plan on wearing with the dress. Sequin shoes can work well too, especially if they resemble any gems you may be wearing, for example red sequin shoes go great with rubies. If you have a long black prom dress I would suggest black shoes so they blend. You can still glam it up a bit though by getting a pair with rhinestone decor or something of that nature. By the way, if you you wear open toes with any style of black prom dress be sure to get a pedicure done with a great paint job!
As far as accessories go I think earrings are an absolute must and dangler, chandelier or shoulder dusters look great because mostly all prom dresses are either strapless or expose a lot of skin a above the bust. I find a necklace is optional but it does look rather fetching when it’s worn in a set that matches the earrings. Okay ladies there you go and I hope that helps with any of the concerns you may have had about sporting a black prom dress for your wonderful event.
