Choosing the perfect prom dress is so difficult. But, choosing the corresponding accessories is even more. Each piece should fit perfectly and create a sleek look altogether with the dress. Combining different accessories with dresses can be a tricky thing, and you can easily end up with “too much”. So, how to choose the best accessories for your prom dress? Read on and find out more!
Determine The Focal Point
In fashion, there should always be balance between simple and bold. For example if your dress has an outstanding pattern or design, keep the jewelry minimal. Or, if your dress is minimalist and elegant, feel free to add statement jewelry. A combination of simple dress and subtle jewelry can work as well, but strictly keep away from bold dresses and large accessories.
Pick The Right Handbag
Elegant dresses are the perfect combo with small handbags. You really won’t need anything more than a lipstick and blotting paper for your prom, so make sure that the bag is not too big. The biggest fashion mistake that a girl can make is to wear an elegant dress with a large bag. Matching the color of the purse with the shoes is the safest option. However, if you feel like doing different you can add other complimentary color.
Match The Style
Matching your red prom dress with red jewelry is not the thing. While color matching is the trend that didn’t make its way from the 90’s, matching the style is a better idea. Is it classy, vintage, or modern? Remember that jewelry in gold and silver is a pretty good choice that will suit any dress color. Each piece of jewelry should be coordinated by color or finish.
Proper Necklace
Necklaces will add elegance to your prom look. That’s why you should choose carefully. When picking the proper shape and design, follow these guidelines:
- For strapless dresses pick a nice choker necklace.
- V-neck dress will look so flattering with a pendant necklace. Make sure that the chain is not too long, so the pendant stays just below the neck and not in the cleavage.
- For halter dress, it is layered bracelets.
- One shoulder dress will be the perfect match with a bold bracelet on the hand with the naked shoulder.
- Avoid wearing bracelets with long sleeve dresses.
Avoid Too Much Jewelry
You certainly don’t want to look like a Christmas tree, but how much is too much? The general rule states that when you wear a necklace, you should not wear big earrings. Instead, you should go for a necklace and a ring. If you wear your hair up, then add nice statement earrings. But this time, pair them with a bracelet. This way, you will achieve the right balance.
