Go by The Trend and Choose What Resonates with You the Best

Check out the latest fashion trends on the catwalk, but don't worry if you can't match their appearance; they are only for inspiration. Begin looking through fashion magazines and stores and take notes on your favorite styles by using the internet. You might be able to find a comparable prom dress in stores.

Choose the Right Sleeves

You'll be surprised to know that prom dresses come in a variety of sleeve options. You can choose the most appropriate sleeve length according to your personality from long sleeve prom dresses, short sleeve prom dresses, cut sleeve prom dresses, and more. If you want to create an elegant statement look, you can go for a long-sleeved prom dress. On the other hand, short-sleeve and cut-sleeve prom dresses match your bold and fearless personality the best.  

Choose According to Your Body Type

Your personality is best expressed when you're wearing a prom dress that embellishes your best features and fits your unique silhouette elegantly. Go through the following guidelines for choosing a prom dress for different body types:

If you have an hourglass body type (a well-defined waist, torso, and hips that are roughly the same width), look for prom dresses that accentuate the waist and maintain a great balance between tops and bottoms.

If you have a rectangular body shape (no defined waistline, shoulders, bust, and hips all the same width), the ideal prom dress for you is a draped gown with a defined waist and long skirt, Empire gowns, A-lines, etc.

If you have a pear body type (torso and upper body smaller than hips), you should look for A-line dresses, wraps, and draped breast dresses.  

If you have an apple body shape (no or little waist definition, upper body larger than hips), an Empire and A-line prom dress with simple tops and low and broad necklines (scoop, square, and sweetheart), are some of the best picks.

Choose According to Your Face Shape

Your face shape also has a crucial role to play when choosing the right prom dress that shows off your unique personality. For example:

If you have a round face (as wide as it is long, narrower at the brow and jawline), seek a prom dress in V-necks, Queen Anne and Empire necklines, and sweetheart and scoop necklines.

If you have a triangular face (broad jawline, narrow forehead), seek necklines such as Sabrina necklines, scoop necklines, sweetheart necklines, and cowl necklines.

Choose necklines that draw a horizontal line around the neck if you have a heart-shaped face (sharp and oval chin, slightly pronounced cheekbones, wide forehead).

Choose the Right Color

When it comes to special event clothing, black and white are basic chromatic possibilities. You can add a touch of your personal style to prom dresses by wearing a red prom dress for that sensuous and bold look, or go for a bright color if you want a playful and fun look.  

Choose the Amount of Embellishments

Prom dresses come in a variety of kinds: from plain, monochromatic prom dresses to glittery and shimmery prom dresses, you can choose from never-ending options. For example, if you're a minimalist at heart, a monochromatic classy prom dress will look great on you. On the other hand, if you like a little bit of glitter here and there, sequin prom dresses are your best friends.

Choose the Right Length

The length of the dress also goes a long way in exhibiting your personality. Prom dresses come in a variety of lengths like short, mini, midi, and long prom dresses. If you're someone who likes a classy and elegant look more, you can go for a long prom dress with a thigh-high slit, or if you're someone who likes to go adventurous, you can opt for various mini-prom dresses.
