Due to the Covid-19, many proms may be delayed or even canceled. However, don’t let that depress you. You can still choose the color of your dress and rock that prom style, even on Zoom with all your classmates.
For some students, the COVID-19 crisis arrived just in time of their prom preparations, as they were receiving college acceptance letters or as they were thinking about jobs they can do during summer.
You can still pick your dress and make a virtual party that you will enjoy. Even though these times might come stressful and full of uncertainties, you can still shop for the dress that you will keep forever as a memory.
How to Choose Prom Dress
First of all, make sure to choose a prom dress that suits you. That is the most important thing, no matter where your prom will take place. You should try everything you like, but get to know your body first. Is the halter neckline for you? Or you would prefer to wear an off-the-shoulder dress that reveals your neck? It is okay to try both of these styles, but make sure to be true to your style.
What Color Suits Me – Skin Tone
Unlike wedding gowns that comes usually in a white shade, prom dresses come in all shades possible! If you ever wondered how some color suits you, then you should definitely scroll down.
If You Have Dark Skin Tone
If you have a darker skin tone, then lucky you! You actually have more options for your prom dresses. From bold and vivid shades like turquoise and jewel shades all the way down to the lavender, violet, and purple – all these shades look especially good on dark skin tone. Don’t try to create contrast, since it will end up looking bad. You can, however, go for a white prom dress – no one says it is not allowed to wear this shade.
Stay away from black, blue, grey, silver, and brown. These shades are too close to your skin tone, so they won’t look good on your prom dress either.
If You Have Light Skin Tone
Light skin tone looks great with black and navy shades. Black prom dresses look extremely elegant and glamorous. However, if you would like something more light, you can also go for pastels. Blush pink, blue, or mint green – these are all shades that you can try this year and look great on your prom.
If You Have Olive Skin Tone
Olive skin tone is that one that is the most flattering and perfect for matching with, well all colors. We suggest you try burgundy, red, jewel tones or to go for emerald green. These prom dresses will suit you just perfectly, making you elegant and very sophisticated.
If You Have Medium Skin Tone
If your skin complexion is medium, then you need to make it look warm. Choose a prom dress in some shade of blue – royal blue, grape or light baby blue will work perfectly.
Earth tones are also a good choice for medium-colored skin. Gold, forest green, and metallics will look great, no matter which style of the prom dress you pick.
On the other hand, stay away from brown, beige, orange, and caramel.
What Color Suit Me – Undertones
Two main undertones are cool and warm. If you have warm undertones then your veins are more of green color. However, people that have light skin tone and burn easily on the sun are likely to have cool undertones and your veins should be bluer.
Cool Undertones
Girls with cool undertones match with whole ranges of colors. The best picks are bright colors, then green, blue, and purple. However, even though cool undertones match with a lot of colors, some shades should be avoided though. Stay away from orange, and yellow.
Warm Undertones
Earthy tones, brown, beige, mustard yellow, and red are the perfect choice for your prom dress if your undertone is warm. If you are a fan of pink, you can definitely try it as well. Warm undertone girls should, however, avoid icy shades and jewel tones. They don’t look particularly good on these undertones.
