How to finish your prom look

Buying a flattering prom dress is important for every teenage girl. But, knowing how to finish off the prom look with the perfect accessories is more important. You need to consider lots of things like what jewelry pieces to pair with your gown, which kind of nail color to wear and so on. The following are some guides on how to finish your prom look perfectly.

Nails to wear with different dress color

With a white dress, go for a classic, or fun look with a bright red or coral color. If you’re wearing a dark, neutral color like black, navy, or gray, try cream opaques. You can also layer sheer metallics with a dark crème for a cool affect.  Offset your pretty pastel dress with a bold, creamy color. If you are planning a floral dress, then you don’t want to be to ‘cute-sy’ in other areas like make up and nails. Offset the softness and sweetness of a floral dress with a dramatic, high-octane color like a vampy blackish-burgundy. With a pink/peachy dress, wear something fun and unique like a blue or green that coordinates with jewelry or matches eye makeup to modernize the look.  For jewel toned dresses (emerald, purple, sapphire), metallic hues that play into the dress work really well.

Prom shoes to wear with different dress

Neutral colors are important to have in your shoe closet. Nude pumps are a great staple to have since they go with almost everything, and they elongate your legs. They will perfectly pair with a dress that contains busy prints or embellishments. Colors on the opposite end of the color wheel are complementary colors. The pairing of these colors is unexpected and fun. One of the most challenging dresses to match is one with a busy print. An ideal option would be to match your shoes to one of the colors in the print.

Jewelry to wear with prom dress

If your dress is glitter-free, simply choose your sparks of choice. If your dress has metallic details or embellishments, always opt for jewelry of the same sheen. As a rule, gold really makes jewel and earth tones pop, while silver complements pastels. The choice of earrings pretty much depends on hairstyle and details around top of your gown. If the dress comes with heavy embroideries around shoulder and neck area, you need to choose earrings in smaller and more delicate side. Usually, there are two types of necklaces to compose you prom glamour, the most delicate choker style or maxi collars with rhinestones and glitter. One thing for sure when wearing necklace with a gown, is paying attention to the details of your dress. If your gown is highly decorated around the bust, leave it clear without any additional jewelry on the neck area, because you don’t want to take away from the dress itself when it has the ability to shine on its own in the first place.

Choose a prom clutch

Carry a clutch if you plan on wearing bracelets, because most wristlets have straps so pretty they should be considered jewelry. A clutch or an evening bag is proved to be the right option for prom. It does not need to have large capacity to hold all the belongings, yet some necessary items for prom such as prom tickets, phone, keys, lipstick, hairpins as well as tissue should be able to find their place. A bag with strap or handle would be the ideal choice for those people who like carrying it along with themselves to parties.
