How to Avoid Pink Prom Dresses From Looking Disastrous

Do you want to know how to avoid looking like a flower girl or bridesmaid in your pink prom dress? Presumably you want to exude sophistication and elegance, not look like a little girl. If so, please read on to find out exactly what you need to do.

Why pink?

Pink prom dresses are highly sought after at the moment and the right dress can transform you from school girl to grown woman in an instant. The color pink is quite easy to wear as it goes well with most skin tones and hair colors making it a top choice for prom night.

But pink can be associated with really young girls so you need to dress it up to add a bit of sophistication while keeping the aura of young and vibrant. Being so popular, pink dresses for prom are also a bit cheaper than other colors. You should be able to find a good selection online for between $50-100.

Which pink?

The shade of pink that you choose for your prom dress is quite critical. Steer clear of baby pink and other lighter shades so you do not look like you have just come from a wedding. Veer toward the bolder end of the spectrum with fuchsia and lipstick pink to send out a more grown up message.

If however, you really fancy a lighter shade, make sure the dress style tells your story with classic long lines rather than a Cinderella style. To really stand out from the crowd and show off your fun loving side, catch everyone's eye with a hot pink number. This will ooze both spice and style.

Which style?

When choosing your dress style, make sure you consider your body shape and go for a cut that flatters your figure. Top choices are the sleeveless and full length variety but choose something you are comfortable in. If you are worried about how you look, it will show. A dress with a long full skirt and short, well fitted bodice will look amazing and will suit most body shapes.

How to add sophistication and elegance

As well as with the shade of pink and the style of dress that you choose, you can make a pink prom dress look that much more grown up by choosing the right accessories.

Silver jewelry is a must. It is mature and works well with the pink fabric.
A lipstick matching the shade of your dress will make you look smart and well coordinated. For eye makeup go back to the silver jewelry tie in with metallic shades.
Keep the metallic theme going with your shoes, but try and find some high heeled sandals for a very feminine yet stylish look.

So if you want to wear pink to the prom, consider the shade and style of your dress carefully. To make a bold, eye catching statement go for something in hot pink. But most importantly accessorize with silvery metallic jewelry, make up and shoes for a more sophisticated look.
