The 2009 Prom season is finally here! Just as spring is ushered in by new birth and birds chirping, so is prom ushered by teens thumbing through magazines and making sporadic shopping trips to the local bridal store. So what color dress is going to make you stand out this year? While it’s important to remember that every girl looks best in certain colors, here’s a basic guide to the colors that will be hottest on this year’s prom dance floor:
The yellow dress… This year is all about bright and cheery! A yellow prom dress will make you stand out in a crowd for sure. You’ll certainly look radiant as sunshine in a bright yellow prom dress and accessories this year. Try to find a gown with some variations of yellow. Look for something in lemon or sunflower to really have the eye-popping effect on the boys. Keep in mind that gowns with sequin and chiffon help to break up a bright color and soften it.
The red prom gown… Look out hot mama! The red prom gown leads me to two different mental pictures. The first is of Julia Roberts in the opera scene of Pretty Woman. Julia’s red gown was totally classic and so beautiful. She topped it off with a sweeping up do and a glistening diamond necklace. The red gown can also be a little racy so pay attention to what look you are going for during your high school prom.
The floral print prom gown… Floral printed prom gowns can be oh so stunning and are really hitting the racks for the 2009 prom season. Look for something long and flowing to keep the formal feeling of prom. Be careful with a shorter floral gown because it may look more like an informal summer sun dress. Checkout Promgirl.net to see some gorgeous long and flowing floral printed prom gowns.
The black prom gown…For the girl who is looking for a super sophisticated and classy look for Prom 2009, black is always a safe bet. Black gowns are very slimming and look good on virtually any figure in any cut. If you are self conscious about your weight, black can help you feel and look your best for your high school prom. If you are concerned that by wearing a black gown you may look a little Gothic, be sure to brighten it up with some cool accessories and even consider buying a black gown with some white details. Don’t wear your makeup too dark if you are wearing a black gown. There are some great black and sparkly gowns to check out at www.findmypromdress.com
The pink prom gown..Although there are many other colors to choose from when it comes to prom dresses for 2009, I chose the pink gown as the fifth. Pink is the ultimate color in femininity. Pink looks so amazing with so many different skin tones too. A bright dark pink looks great on darker complexions while light baby pink flatters even the fairest of tones. Consider a pink gown with a sequined bodice for the ultimate princess feel!
