How To Stand Out at Prom Without Doing Too Much

To have everyone’s eyes on you while wearing a dress that you took months to look for –it’s what every girl at prom night wants. And as much as you’d like to deny it, we all know that you too would at least want to have a few heads turn to you when you walk through those doors. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to take a lot of effort to do that. Girls already have a charm of their own that draws people’s attention. All it takes is a few extra steps to achieve that yearning feeling of being accepted by your peers. Here are ways for you to do it.

You Don’t Have to Show Skin

Some girls might feel the need to pick a dress that reveals too much skin not because they feel comfortable in it but because of the attention it will get. Check out promdressshop.com to view a selection of dresses with such styles. Always remember that you don’t have to compromise your comfort in exchange for a few stares. Nothing beats a girl who can carry a dress with grace and confidence. She wears it that way because she knows she looks good in it and it is an expression of herself, not because she wants the attention.

Pick the Right Accessories

This one deserves one big Duh on it but you might not have an idea how much difference the right accessories can make to a dress. All the most iconic looks in history wouldn’t be what they are now if it weren’t for the little things. So don’t be afraid to experiment with different jewellery and accessories until you find the right one that looks best on your dress.

Try Ethnic Accents

Why not borrow from your culture’s roots and try out a style with accents that resonate with your origins the most. The accents can be on the dress itself or it can be the jewellery that you wear or the way you style your hair.

Wear a Sequin Dress

The Prom Dress Shop has a vast selection of unique prom dresses that are sequinned. There is little that needs to be done when you have a sparkling prom dress on you. You’ll sparkle with every move and it might just get you that highly coveted prom queen title. Be careful not to blind the haters when you’re on your way to the stage to take the crown.

Wear a Tux

Janice from Mean Girls did it. You can too! So maybe this does take a little more effort but if you already have this idea in mind months before prom, it really won’t take that much time as all you need to do is look for a tux in your size. You no longer have to go through different colours, styles, and designs at stores. The best part is, you can take a guy or a girlfriend with you as your date. Nobody will get confused!

Subtle Make-Up

On prom night, you’ll be drowned by a sea of girls wearing makeup thick enough to last them through the night and the after party. Be different and wear yours just subtle enough to bring out your best features. And if it fades throughout the night, you can always go to the ladies room for a quick retouch. It beats having cake face in all of your pictures.
