Hey guys!
Today we've got a brilliant episode of Wearing The Trend for you.
It's prom.
Guys, prom.
It's so good. It's something that the excitement you will just never really grow out of, so
you'll be like me living vicariously through girls that are younger.
They're picking out their dresses, and they're thinking about what they're doing with their
hair, and it's just really super exciting.
So whether, you know, it's a Grade 8 formal, or a Grade 12 prom,
um, it's fantastic 'cuz it's kind of a culmination of that kind of educational career
kind of all those friendships that you've had, and it's just a night that you can really
celebrate with your friends and, you know,
get dressed up and have a great time.
And with that emotional business aside,
um, the number one reigning question in prom season is, you know, what are you going to wear?
There's so many sort of, like, blogs and forums and magazines and it can become, like, super
overwhelming
um, in terms of trying to decide, um, what you should wear and what's right for you.
So today I'm going to do a really paired version of what I think is appropriate for prom
and, um, some kind of options that you can explore.
So the first option we have is something for the girl that I think is looking for a dress
that has a bit of longevity.
So, with me, my prom dress. I ended up buying a coral gown and I haven't worn it ever.
Like, it was really exciting for the night and I loved wearing it,
um, but sometimes I do think about, like, you know, chopping off the bottom, and turning
it into a dress that I can wear
for other events.
So, if you're that type of girl, I'd suggest going for a cocktail dress.
So the one I'm wearing now is a really kind of luxe, sort of silk fabric,
with a bunch of, like, a bunch of sort of gathering and it's quite tight
so it just gives you a really kind of gorgeous hourglass silhouette.
So this is something that I would recommend, especially if your kind of key criteria is
just kind of feel comfortable, dance, jump around, all those kind of things,
it's a great option for you.
So the second option is definitely on the opposite end of the practical spectrum,
so this is something where I feel like if you want to use prom as an opportunity to
wear kind of the idea in your head of like
a fairy princess ball gown type scenario then do it!
It's, you know what, it's prom, you're super young, you gotta YOLO while you can
so this option is something that totally I feel like, I don't know, like,
Carolina Herrera would wear, like, it's just a gorgeous, really full, luxe skirt that I
feel like
I was doing this in the shoot quite a lot, just 'cuz like I could fit a whole family
of four underneath.
And I paired it with a top, just because I feel like I wanted to maintain that balance
of something really sort of loud on the bottom,
and so a little bit subtle on the top.
And this is an option that you can find easily in dresses.
A lot of tulle, a lot of kind of shaneel
it'll look really gorgeous and will be fantastic if you want something that fit that kind of
sort of really traditional prom look.
The third option is soothing that I obviously found at a vintage store
because you know me, and i always love to find a vintage option.
So with this version of the dress, I would say if you're the type of girl that wants
to stick to a classic outline,
and then also wants to look back on the photos and think,
'Oh, there's no way I'd ever be embarrassed to wear that again,'
this is the dress for you.
So pick something in kind of a classic shape.
So um, a little bit of a ball gown skirt, I chose a wrap dress,
but there's a whole host of different options for you.
And for these dresses I would say stick to a solid colour just because
with the silhouette being so simple, you kind of want to maintain that balance throughout.
So now that I've given you an abundance of tips and tricks, what I want you to do is:
through them out the window.
Because it's prom. It's super fun, you're super young,
you should just get dressed up, wear whatever feels comfortable, wear whatever makes you
feel beautiful, because you're going to have a great time with your friends,
you're going to take tons of photos, and you're going to look back on these days and I want
remember them fondly.
