Prom Dresses 2022
One of the most reverent and exciting events in the life of a young girl is the prom. It is this celebration that allows you to show off your beauty in front of your classmates for the last time, and it is in this image that the graduate will appear in all the photographs that will become a relic for many school friends. Feeling the importance of choosing a spectacular and beautiful dress, you need to take a responsible approach to this event.
Peculiarities
Every graduate should remember that in a prom dress she will move, dance and walk a lot, meeting her first dawn in adulthood. Therefore, convenience is an important criterion for evaluating a future dress.
Beautiful, but not very comfortable dresses include:
- models with ultra-short length;
- models with a fluffy skirt, complemented by a petticoat;
- models with a deep neckline or too frank bodice.
Give up on this type of dress, because designers have already come up with even more attractive outfits.
The next important feature is the mood of the dress. First of all, it should demonstrate youth, freshness and tenderness of this age. Light fabrics, bright and light shades and models not weighed down with unnecessary decor are the components of a successful dress.
To feel irresistible on graduation day, a girl must sincerely love her dress. Therefore, you should start the search in advance, and buy - not too early, because for a long time the dress can get bored with changeable young ladies.
Gorgeous styles and patterns
Every year, designers produce many styles of evening dresses, however, not all of them are suitable for young girls. Here are the most popular, beautiful and appropriate styles of prom dresses.
With train
It is easy to look graceful and majestic by wearing an evening dress with a train. A long dress and a train falling to the floor are, of course, a very luxurious model, however, it is frankly uncomfortable to dance and even walk in it. Let's leave this toilet for the wedding style, and on the agenda - a dress with a train and open legs.
The hem in this style is asymmetrical, exposing the legs in front and closing in the back. Dresses of this type are suitable for slender girls with perfect legs, the rest should choose something else.
The hem of the dress can be a single flowing fabric, or it can resemble a separately sewn tulle or organza hem over a short dress.
Ballroom
The ball gown is a prom classic. A long hem made of voluminous fabrics and a corset bodice are the distinguishing features of the style. When choosing it, it is important to feel the measure in the splendor of the hem and the frankness of the bodice. The hem of organza, tulle and tulle will not weigh down the design of the dress, in addition, these fabrics look good even without a petticoat.
With a corset
Modern corsets are no longer so painful for the female body than in the Middle Ages. Paid and flexible, they easily and reliably mask extra centimeters, improving the silhouette. In addition, designers include corsets in a variety of styles of dresses, which means that any graduate will be able to find something to their liking.
A dress with a corset and a fluffy skirt looks gentle and romantic, and models with a slit and a straight hem to the floor add magnetism and sexuality to the girl.. A mermaid dress, short, with a fluffy skirt or with a train - any of these models will be harmoniously complemented by a corset.
With open back
The red carpet, the Oscars and of course the backless dress. What could be more solemn? Designers have successfully transferred star fashion to prom dresses, making certain adjustments. So, the back can be bare to the lowest point of the shoulder blades or to the waist line. More frank cutouts are not suitable for this celebration, because the graduate should not carry open sexuality in herself.
It is worth remembering that a dress with an open back does not tolerate the presence of a bra. Silicone cups that support the breasts are the perfect solution for the model.
Off Shoulder
Off the shoulder dress can refer to antique, classic and ballroom styles. The bodice, which does not have straps, favorably emphasizes the chest, lifts it and makes it bigger.
Off the shoulder dress suits many girls.However, if there is excess weight, it is necessary to fit a stylish cape to mask the armpit area.
With long sleeves
The dress with long sleeves looks coquettish and mysterious. Slender girls can afford tight-fitting lace sleeves, and owners of full arms can pay attention to models with straight-cut chiffon sleeves.
When choosing this model, it is important that the sleeve does not overtighten and does not restrict movement, and the material is light and pleasant to the body. By the way, dresses with a lace yoke and long lace sleeves are present in the collections of almost all designers who create evening dresses.
Classic
Eternal classics shrouded prom dresses with their restraint. This laconic image consists of clear lines. The length in such dresses reaches the middle of the knees, and the bodice is a one-piece design with a sleeve.
The color scheme is dominated by white, black and red. The classic dress is suitable for girls with any type of figure, because it is made in tulip, sheath and hem-sun styles.
transformers
A transforming dress is a unique opportunity to combine two styles in one, to be chic and feel absolutely comfortable.
This model is a design with a removable hem, under which, as a rule, the hem of a short, tight-fitting cocktail dress is hidden.
The lush and long upper hem is fastened to the belt with buttons or a hidden zipper. When choosing a dress, you should make sure that there is an invisible transition between the hem and the main dress.
separate
For fashionistas in trend, designers have introduced a new type of prom dress, consisting of a top and a fluffy skirt. The top in this set has a cropped cut, embellished with rhinestones, lace or sequins.The skirt most often differs in maxi length and layering of fabrics. The belt on the skirt is decorated like a top, uniting and creating an exquisite union. The skirt should cover the navel, otherwise the whole fashionable bow will be reduced to bad taste.
Vintage
Vintage style is gaining momentum in prom fashion. Stylish elements of the past are artfully in harmony with modern cuts, and noble fabrics look particularly elegant.
To embody creative ideas, designers use crepe, chiffon and velvet with patterns and ornaments applied to it.
When making such dresses, they are increasingly turning to the fashion of the 50s and 60s. Delicate ruffles and ruffles adorn the laconic cut of the models. Vintage dresses do not imitate, but only borrow certain details of past eras.
Rybka
For girls who want to demonstrate a chiseled figure, the fish model is suitable. The cut, fitting the chest, waist and hips and flared from the knees, is inspired by the beauty of the hourglass figure, which means that even plump girls with a similar figure will be able to shine by wearing such a dress.
Graduation dresses in the style of a fish are decorated with draperies and lace, and the hem is created lush and multi-layered.
tutu
Tenderness, youth and enthusiasm of a young girl will be emphasized by a tutu dress. Its splendor gives lightness and lightness. Such an outfit is considered truly graduation, because it is unlikely that a woman of respectable age will dare to such an image. This outfit is best suited for slender girls, however, a knee-length tutu can also disguise full hips, the main thing is the beauty of the legs.
cascading
Cascading hem is a godsend for extravagant fashionistas. Asymmetric lengths allow you to combine long and short, show legs and remain a mystery.
Hems are made of ruffles, light frills, as well as a single layer of well-draped fabric. The bodice can be corseted or loose.
Actual colors
The color of the dress should be chosen depending on the color type and taste preferences, and fashion trends will allow you to choose the actual shade from your favorite color scheme.
Black
For a long time, designers have given the black prom dress a modest place in their collections. However, graduates manage to find fashionable models and create a stylish look. In addition, black is the choice of most overweight girls.
A black dress is appropriate in a classic style, as well as in an empire and mermaid style. This color maxi length dress draws the figure well and outlines the silhouette.
In order not to look boring, decorate a black dress with accents of rich shades, such as accessories, a contrasting handbag and shoes.
White
White, just like black, is a rarity for graduation, because traditionally this color scheme identifies the delicate image of the bride.
In order not to look wedding and too pompous for a prom, it is enough to choose a sheath, tutu or any other free-cut dress.
From time immemorial, the snow-white color means innocence, purity and youth. Isn't this the image of a graduate?
Turquoise
Turquoise dress looks gentle and romantic. It is suitable for any color type, and the blue color of the eyes will sparkle with new shades.
This cold and at the same time very naive shade emphasizes a beautiful tan and pale skin. Therefore, if a girl has very fair skin, it is better to refuse this color scheme, otherwise a painful complexion in all photographs will be guaranteed.
Designers boldly play with the color scheme of turquoise, creating dresses with a smooth transition from light sky bodice to dark turquoise at the hem.
blue
Blue represents youth. Its color scheme will transform a young girl, but will destroy the image of a woman of respectable age, so graduation is a good opportunity to emphasize youth with this particular color.
Blue well emphasizes the eyes of the same shade, perfectly sets off the golden blond hair and contrasts with the dark hair of brunettes.
When choosing a cape for such a dress, you should forget about beige and brown shades. White and black classics are a good companion for a blue dress.
peach
Another color filled with the breath of youth is peach. Girls with a golden skin tone will suit a soft peach shade, and dark-skinned beauties will be able to emphasize their individuality with a bright and saturated shade with a predominance of orange.
Blue and dark blue
This season, the main favorite of the blue color scheme has become a shade of indigo. This bright deep and rich color appeared in feminine dresses made of flying fabric. Rounded edges, for example, in the form of a heart, are considered the ideal bodice for such an outfit.
A dark blue dress is recommended for brunettes, while it would be wiser to focus on muted shades.
Pink
Pink color stereotypically belongs to glamorous fashionistas. However, any graduate can look gentle in it and have a delicate taste, if the shade is chosen correctly.
It is worth noting that a bright pink shade will not be able to decorate a graduate, and soft pink or muted tones, on the contrary, will look very stylish.
This season, designers adorn pink with black accents and transitions to white. A modern pink prom dress is no longer that candy look from fairy tales, but a bow that reflects tenderness and audacity at the same time.
Beige
The beige shade of the dress is extremely popular among graduates for its nobility and elegance. Yes, this is not the most saturated color, but tanned beauties look bright and stylish in it.
The beige prom dress is paired with guipure and black lace, while the satin beige fabric looks great in drapery.
Not every beige suits blondes. When choosing it, it is important not to allow the skin tones and the dress to match.
Green
Emerald color is the trend of the 2016 season. It is difficult to find a deeper and richer shade that suits both blondes and brunettes equally well.
The emerald hue goes well with tight-fitting dresses, delicate lace and models with soft pleats.
purple
Not so long ago, purple was considered the color of choice for people who want to be invisible and get lost in the crowd, those who are afraid of everything new and bright. Looking at modern models of evening dresses in purple colors, it’s hard to believe it, because with their languor and mystery they can outshine many open and bright shades.
The airy purple dress is the image of a forest nymph, it is naive and sexy. This shade has no age, it is equally well suited to respectable and young ladies, so models from light fabrics with a multi-layered hem are suitable for graduation. Purple organza and chiffon look especially airy and fresh.
yellow
Yellow color symbolizes celebration and joy.This sunny shade is widely used in the creation of prom dresses. Golden yellow and metallic champagne are the hottest shades of yellow this season.
Dark-skinned girls can safely choose the most intense of the proposed colors in the palette of shades, and the tenderness of blondes will be emphasized by the naive shade of champagne, complemented by stylish highlights.
Burgundy
Burgundy dominates among burgundy shades. This bright and saturated color will be a worthy choice for fatal beauties who boldly declare their irresistibility.
The image in this color scheme will not be endowed with freshness and lightness, but notes of classics, conciseness and elegance will open in it. At the end of the bow, the hairstyle for the dress is strict and smooth.
transparent
An evening dress with a transparent skirt does not lose its relevance. Made in the floor, it is a design with a two-layer skirt, the top layer of which is made of sheer tulle or organza. The lower part to the knee or above matches the material of the bodice.
This model allows you to combine sexuality and modesty. The mystery of this dress attracts many fashionistas.
Moonstone
The moonstone stands out from the new light and delicate shades. The golden mean between cyan and turquoise plunged designers into a marine atmosphere.
This calm shade is successfully combined with leather belts and belts, and also decorated with playful lace.
Red
A red dress is the choice of graduates who claim to be the queen of the ball. This bright outfit always stands out from the crowd.
The red shade of warm color is suitable for dark-skinned beauties, and the cold scarlet will perfectly set off porcelain skin.
Length
The length of the dress should always be perfect.A hem higher or lower by a couple of centimeters can visually shorten the legs, make them fuller or be vulgar.
Long
Slender girls and curvaceous girls choose long dresses every year. Firstly, they are considered the most solemn option, and secondly, they hide everything superfluous. Thin legs, full calves, imperfect thighs and buttocks will disappear behind long fabrics.
Dresses to the floor should cover the shoes. The only part of the shoe that is not covered by the hem is the toe. Only in this case the figure is stretched and becomes proportional.
With an incorrectly chosen length, the heel opens, and the leg loses its harmony and length.
The long dress goes well with high heels. A flat sole may also be present, but only in the choice of stately tall beauties.
Midi
The midi length has conquered the fashion of prom dresses. Choosing it, you should soberly evaluate your own figure. Full legs will become even more shapeless with this length, so it is better to leave it to girls with slender legs.
Length from 5-15 cm below the knees is the ideal length for a midi. Audrey Hepburn and other celebrities can be the prototype of a stylish prom look.
A short
In an A-line and a tutu dress, a short dress harmoniously looks. Mini is characterized by a length of a palm or two above the knees. A short dress is the choice of girls with a chiseled figure.
When choosing a similar model, do not forget about a modest bodice with minimal decor, because the mini-length is already a bright accent in the image. A boat neckline and a puffy short skirt are one of the classic combinations in prom fashion.
Up to the knees
The sheath dress and the classic little black dress are both knee length.It is distinguished by convenience and practicality, the ability to show beautiful legs and hide full hips.
You should not wear a knee-length dress if there are folds on the knee line and it does not have a clear shape.
Invoices
Designers surprise with a variety of textures for prom dresses. This season, they presented especially tender solutions.
Lacy
Lace on the yoke has long been present in wedding and prom fashion. It gives any dress some modesty and mystery. A full lace dress is also not uncommon. It looks especially organic in tight-fitting styles, such as a mermaid.
In recent seasons, designers have adorned dresses with Irish lace and breathed new life into it. Various lace patterns, skillfully woven together, create an extraordinary texture and uniqueness of the dress, but they also add volume, which plump girls need to remember.
For PLUS size graduates, not all lace is a ban, for example, on a free-cut hem, it will not only not fill up, but will also divert attention from problem areas.
Guipure
Guipure patterns, unlike lace, are created using machine technology, which explains their affordable price. In addition, guipure has high elasticity, as it contains synthetic fibers.
A variety of guipure prom dresses pleases with its diversity. In average stores, you can find attractive synthetic options, and designers will offer silk thread guipure.
When choosing a guipure dress, you should carefully consider not only the guipure, but also the satin sheath of the dress.Fabrics should be pleasant to the body, sit tight on the figure, but not overtighten, otherwise the natural elasticity of the fabric will play a cruel joke, distorting all the ornaments of the dress.
knitted
Handicraft has always been highly valued. Needlewomen know no boundaries in their art, creating prom dresses that can outshine the work of great designers in their beauty. In other matters, fashion houses also produce knitted models, complemented by rhinestones, beads, satin and silk.
Crocheted dresses are distinguished by a rather large pattern. These models look great in fishtail styles with a train, as well as with an open back and lowered shoulders.
Silk, satin and the finest jersey are used as lining.
From tulle
Fatin is a thin mesh of nylon threads. Quite hard in texture, it keeps its shape perfectly, so most tutu dresses are made from this fabric.
Despite the visual subtlety and weightlessness, tulle is a dense material. It is really difficult to tear it, so the graduate does not need to be afraid of the integrity of the hem.
How to choose
Dresses for slender girls and puffies have their own distinctive features. So, for graceful girls, any materials are suitable, and full girls will look more spectacular in dense fabrics that can mask the excess.
Print on prom dresses can be small, medium and large. Curvaceous girls should stop at the golden mean, then the dress will not bring additional volume. Slender girls have no restrictions on the size of the print.
A suitable size is the main component of a successful dress. Buying in the hope of losing weight or getting better is useless, so it is important to soberly evaluate today's silhouette.
One of the most effective ways to choose the perfect dress is to listen to the opinions of others. Mom, best friend, sister or any other person who is able to openly talk about shortcomings and advantages will always be able to prompt and make a choice.
What is the price
The cost of a prom dress is affected by its material and accessories. A knitted dress can be bought in the price category from 2000 rubles, while silk and other expensive materials will cost several times more.
The choice of store is also a price criterion. Chain stores offer a huge selection of prom dresses at affordable prices, however, in this case, you don’t have to be sure that a classmate won’t buy something similar. Expensive boutiques offer unique one-of-a-kind items at high and often exorbitant prices.
Tailoring a dress in an atelier is another way to get a dream dress. Here, all wishes will be taken into account, and at the same time, you will have to pay for the selected material and the work of the master.
How to create a complete image
No matter how carefully the dress is chosen, it is just an element of the image. Only in combination with a suitable hairstyle, shoes and accessories can you create a complete look.
Choosing shoes
Prom shoes include heels. You should not experiment with its height, especially if heels are not shoes for every day. Shoes with a comfortable heel of medium height are ideal for many hours of stress on the feet.
Pumps with neat rounded toes are shoes suitable for any dress. They make the legs longer and slimmer, visually stretching the silhouette.
Heeled sandals are also a good option, however, it is worth remembering that models with jumpers, although comfortable, shorten the legs.Therefore, shoes with horizontal straps are only acceptable in tandem with a floor-length dress.
Accessories
Accessories can be in the same color scheme as the dress, or they can create harmonious contrasts. So, for a dress with a simple cut in the style of minimalism, bright accents in the form of voluminous earrings or a majestic necklace are suitable. A dress decorated with rhinestones, sequins and other decor needs only to maintain the overall image, for example, a string of pearls or a sophisticated pendant will complement, but not weigh down the dress.
Hairstyle
Only a few can boast of good thick and lush hair. Most of them have certain complexes. The hairstyle in this case is chosen depending on the characteristics of the hair. So, naturally curly hair is curled into delicate curls, and stylish buns and shells are made from straight hair. You should not contradict the nature of hair, because even the strongest styling is unlikely to survive until dawn and survive an evening rich in active competitions.
It is worth saying that the collected hair is very practical. Wind, rain or incendiary dances will not spoil the appearance of the graduate, and her hair will not have to be constantly corrected.
The most beautiful images and novelties
Delicate floor-length A-line dress will adorn a young girl. A heavenly shade and a bodice decorated with rhinestones will create a festive look, and a floor-length hem will hide all imperfections.
A transforming dress with a removable transparent hem is an image for extraordinary natures. Animal print on the dress will give the image playfulness and audacity.
A white knee-length Greek-style dress is the perfect solution for young goddesses of beauty. Majesty and convenience are harmoniously combined in this model.
A light, delicate and incredibly beautiful mint-colored dress with a lace yoke is a godsend for romantic natures.
The most terrible and unusual prom dresses
Some graduates shock the school and classmates by wearing, to put it mildly, unusual outfits. However, it is better to see.
One of the cases of an unsightly pink shade was embodied in this outfit. The sleeves and bodice, decorated with white fur, completed the pseudo-glamorous look.
An orange dress with wildflowers and a micro length is an outfit, although original, but not suitable for the walls of the temple of knowledge.
That version of a separate prom dress, which is difficult to attribute to the trendy trend in prom fashion.
A transparent short guipure dress with black lingerie was able to shock the school and make a Ukrainian graduate an Internet star.
Even Andersen used to say that for the sake of beauty it is not a sin to endure. Let this phrase not refer to the prom dress, because on this day there will be so many wonderful events that should not be overshadowed by the inconvenience and impracticality of the outfit.
