Materials of manufacture
When choosing a prom suit for a girl, you need to pay attention to the material from which the product is made. Evening models are usually made from lightweight fabrics:
- Chiffon. It is breathable, almost unnoticeable on the body, and comes in an incredible number of colors. However, it requires careful handling and special care, as it is not highly wear-resistant.
- Silk. Products made from this fabric look very impressive, do not electrify, stretch well, and practically do not wrinkle. However, silk is not cheap and requires careful care.
- Velvet. Beautiful, comfortable, soft material that holds its shape well. Significant disadvantage: takes a long time to dry and requires lining when sewing, which is why it can be quite hot.
- Satin. This flowing fabric looks stylish and is long-lasting, and is moisture-wicking. However, the garments may appear heavy.
Suits with lace or guipure inserts look delicate and elegant. They are usually used to decorate jackets and blazers. It is important that the set is not overloaded with such details, otherwise the whole outfit will look tasteless.
Design and decor
The suit itself does not imply an active design. The strict silhouette of the product originates from the classics, so it is characterized by restraint and conciseness. If the graduate wants to use bright jewelry when creating an image, then it is better to keep the decor of the suit to a minimum.
A peplum is often used as a design element, which emphasizes the curves of the silhouette, highlights the waist, and adds femininity.
The graduation suit is often decorated with ruffles and flounces, so you can create a stylish and romantic image. There are models with lace elements, they give their owner femininity.
Bright details are always relevant. It can be a blouse, a scarf, a belt. Such accents can emphasize the style and taste of the owner. A suit with interesting geometry will suit girls who want to demonstrate their originality.
Color scheme
Designers recommend paying attention to suits of bright, rich shades, as well as pastel colors. Red, green, emerald, blue tones are now at the peak of popularity. At the same time, they easily coexist with pastel pink, cream and ash.
Geometric, floral and ethnic prints do not lose their relevance. When choosing a color scheme for a prom dress, it is necessary to consider not only fashion trends and your own preferences, but also the natural palette.
A girl with the "winter" color type (white skin, blue eyes, light hair) should choose outfits in cold shades: scarlet, emerald, green, deep blue, gray. In addition, black and white suit this category.
For the "summer" color type (ivory skin, freckles, light brown hair, green, gray or light brown eyes), soft pastel cold and warm tones are suitable. Preference should be given to muted shades: ash-pink, light green, soft raspberry, gray-blue, light purple.
A girl of the "spring" type (thin skin, golden or wheat-colored hair, blue, light gray or green eyes) should choose warm, shining colors. Any shade of yellow will suit such a young lady. You can safely give preference to red, peach, cornflower blue, golden, milky, olive suits.
All shades of warm brown suit the autumn type of appearance (dark or medium skin tone, red or dark hair, brown or black eyes). You can choose clothes in red, burgundy, cherry, sunny yellow, mustard, bronze and chocolate colors. Autumn is the only color type that suits bright orange.
Designers claim that there are universal shades that can be safely chosen by representatives of any color type. These include black, white, dark blue, gray.
What shoes and accessories to choose
To create a festive and stylish image, you need to carefully select additions in the form of shoes and accessories. You should understand that an inappropriate detail can ruin even the most harmonious outfit.
The best footwear to pair with a suit is classic pumps. This is a truly win-win option. At the same time, it is relevant for sets with both trousers and skirts. For example, beige pumps will emphasize the elegance of the leg, and the image will be gentle, stylish and sophisticated.
Sandals with a neat heel are appropriate. These can be models in white or black.
When choosing shoes, you need to consider the style and cut of the suit. A classic set with strict lines is best complemented with laconic shoes or sandals. If the trousers are loose-fitting or cropped, then shoes on a neat, low platform are acceptable.
As for accessories, it is worth giving preference to elongated earrings, pendants with pearls, bracelets with bright stones. At the same time, one must not forget about a sense of proportion. If the choice is made in favor of a massive necklace, then there should be no other jewelry. A clutch bag will help harmoniously complete a beautiful image: folding, envelope or minaudière.
Stylists' advice
When choosing a suit for a prom, you need to consider factors such as your body type, build, height, and age. Below are some tips from stylists that will help you choose the perfect outfit for the special event:
- girls with curvy shapes should avoid overly tight-fitting items, and give preference to semi-fitted, straight silhouettes with clear lines;
- a long jacket will help to visually reduce full hips;
- overly narrow hips can be corrected with a peplum;
- Cropped trousers and high heels combined with a fitted jacket will make your legs look slimmer.
Young girls should avoid leopard prints and earthy tones in clothing. You should not take a suit for graduation made of lurex, brocade, jacquard and tweed. These fabrics will visually age you by 5-10 years. Baggy trouser suits and dresses with oversized jackets will not decorate the graduate.
