Hey, beautiful people! It’s finally that time for the biggest bash of the year: Your graduation. Prom is slated to be one of the most amazing and memorable nights of your life, and you deserve to look and feel incredible. Whether you’re going for a classic, trendy, or edgy look, Fashion Beauty Runway has got you covered with the best styles and options available for prom 2023.
The Amazing Choices Colour Provides
First of all, let’s talk about the palette you might choose for the big night. You can go pale and demure with pastels. They are ideal for a fairy tale or dreamy prom theme. Some of the most trending pastel shades for prom include, pink, lavender, mint, peach, and sky blue. Accessorize your pastel look with some silver or pearl jewelry and a matching clutch. And some silver strappy sandals will look great with that, too.
Want to stand out a bit more on prom night? Rev it up with neons. Barbiecore, with its intense pink shades, is still trending hard for 2023. And just wait until the movie launches in July! Plus, neons carry that coveted 80s retro vibe that’s full of fun and personality. Pair your neons with black, and add some sparkle or cut-out details to your dress to amp up the drama.
Love a monochrome look? Metallics will do the trick. Gold, silver and copper comprise the metal trio that you can mix and match, or go with one solo shade. 2023 is the year of metallic glam fits. Just think of the stunning hooded gold vintage YSL dress Miley Cyrus wore in her “Flowers” video. So, yes, gold, platinum or silver are always great colour choices for evening looks. Even better for your graduation night to shine until the wee hours.
Time to Talk Silhouette
There are so many options to choose from for your prom ball, but some of the most popular ones are mermaid, that hit your curves just where they should be hugged; ball gown for the totally princess look; A-line, that suit any body type; and the slit, that’s super sexy when it opens very high on the thigh — a celebrity red carpet favourite. Oh, and let’s include the evening suit, too. Yes, an ample colour coordinated suit is definitely a thing for 2023, and totally on point for a non-gendered look.
Of course, choosing a prom fit that you’ll be wearing all evening takes a lot of planning and strategizing. How comfortable will you feel embodying the look you chose. Are you going with the same style your friends have seen you wear all year, or do you want to spice things up a bit and dare venture out of your comfort zone for the night out? In every case, try to picture what you will look like and feel project, so you’re 100% OK with the dress or outfit you’ll end up wearing.
It’s All in the Details
OK, so you’ve narrowed down the shape and colour of your graduation look. Hmmm, what’s next? Well, to finish off an outfit that you’ll be in hundreds of pics and videos by the end of the night, make sure you check all the boxes. Fashion designers say it’s always about the details.
You can make your prom look stand out with some sparkle, lace, floral, or cut-out details. Sparkle adds some shine and glam to your look, while lace lends an aura of elegance and sophistication. It comes down to your personality and mood. Floral prints can be bold or more romantic, depending on the size of the flower and colour scheme. Feeling edgier? Cut-outs are the way to go. There are a multitude of evening leggings to choose from that offer the illusion of cut-outs thanks to mesh on the legs. Same goes for tops and dresses, with strategically positioned flesh-coloured panels (yes, for every skin tone!)
When it comes to footwear, there is a plethora of trending styles.
This season, we’re seeing a lot of exaggerated platforms on red carpets and events like the Met Gala. They’re fun to wear and they can help create a look that’s completely different from your school days. Those imposing platforms are available in sandals, pumps, Mary Janes and ankle booties. Basically, everything you need to accessorize your evening look from wide-legged satin pants, to miniskirts to wide ballgowns.
Finally, it’s all about confidence. No matter what you wear, the most important thing is to feel comfortable in your own skin. Prom is a night to celebrate yourself and your achievements, so don’t let anyone or anything ruin it for you. You are smart, talented, and amazing, and you deserve the best. Have fun, feel beautiful. Go for it!
