Apr
Are you excited about prom but have yet to figure out what you’ll wear? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Styling a prom dress is about choosing the perfect accessories and experimenting with various looks to express your unique style.
In this article, we have shared 5 helpful tips on how to style a sparkly prom dress so you can confidently own the spotlight on your special night.
Tip #1 – Choose the Right Dress
First, you should pick the perfect prom dress that suits your body type and personal style. Since you’re aiming for a sparkly vibe, we recommend getting a sequin dress as these dresses can elevate your prom look; you can find multiple sequined, sparkly looks in this dress collection. Plus, the sequins will catch the light in the most mesmerizing way, ensuring you look radiant and sparkly in every picture.
While gold and silver are classic choices for sequin dresses and offer timeless elegance, don’t be afraid to experiment with different shades such as deep red, blush pink, or emerald green.
You have tons of different options when it comes to sequin dresses. You can go all out with sequins covering the entire dress, but if you want to keep it low-key, you could get a dress with a sequined collar or sequined wristbands.
Make sure you get a dress that makes you feel comfortable and confident. It should accentuate your best features and reflect your style flawlessly.
Tip #2 – Pick Simple Accessories
Now that you have chosen your sparkly prom dress, it’s time to accessorize. Since your dress already stands out with its sparkle, following the latest fashion trend, we recommend getting accessories that add a subtle touch of elegance to your look. For example, you could wear a pair of stud earrings or a simple necklace to complement the shimmer of your dress without overwhelming it.
Add only a few sparkly accessories as they can distract from the overall look of your sequin dress.
Tip #3 – Experiment With Different Hairstyles
Try elegant updos, soft waves, sleek ponytails, or braided styles to find the perfect look that enhances the sparkle of your dress. As with accessories, your hairstyle should complement your sparkly dress, not overpower it. Go for a hairstyle that balances the glamor of your sequin dress while allowing you to feel comfortable and confident throughout the night.
Tip #4 – Wear the Right Pair of Shoes
With most sequin dresses, neutral heels are the way to go. Nude or black heels keep it simple, and they go well with just about any color or style of sequin dress. If you’re wearing a silver or gold sequin dress, you could wear heels with the same color to create a coordinated and stylish look that enhances the shimmer and shine of your outfit.
Some other types of heels you could wear include block heels if you want stability, platform heels if you’re looking for extra height, and kitten heels if you’re going for a more subtle look.
Tip #5 – Don’t Forget Your Makeup
Your makeup can tie your sparkly prom look together, but try not to be too heavy on it. Go for a more natural makeup that doesn’t compete with the shimmer of your sequin dress. Use a nude-tone lipstick and dab some lip gloss on it to give a soft, shimmery lip look.
Dab on some neutral brown or champagne eyeshadow and swipe on some mascara. Add a subtle touch of contour to your cheeks and a warm blush. Finally, set your makeup with a setting spray or powder to give you a glowing yet natural finish that complements your shimmering dress perfectly.
Wear Your Sparkly Prom Dress With Confidence
Now that you know how to style your sparkly prom dress, you’re all set for an amazing night! The first step is to pick a dress that fits you perfectly and makes you feel stunning. After that, you can add accessories, experiment with different hairstyles, try on various shoes to find the perfect match and complete your makeup to bring your prom ensemble together.
Most importantly, you have fun and make great memories with the people you care about. The best way to make that happen is by wearing a comfortable and confident dress.
