| Pink dresses are a classic type of prom dress. There are loads of different shades of pink from rosy and pastel to hot pink and almost red, and one to suit each skin tone. So for light, English Rose skin types choose pale and dusky pinks. For skin with a bit more sun, pick darker and hot pink shades. I would recommend at least trying on a two-tone pink dress, so perhaps one with some white or black in it, as these can be incredibly flattering, and give your dress a unique and trendy look. For example, retro pink dots may be in this year, but florals may be more on trend next year. To keep your dress timeless and classic, opt for one simple color throughout the dress, in a luxurious fabric. Go to our 2010 Prom Dresses page for ideas on the latest trends and fashions. Here are some quick ideas: halternecks are totally in season and suit everyone, layering and ruffling is really fun, flirty and sexy, and pay attention to your waist with cinching and folding at the waist-line. Because (depending on the shade) pink can either both sexy or pretty, it's good to keep in mind which look your want to aim for. Some of the most stylish women create a super fashionable look by contrasting styles within their look; wear a very light, subtle pink dress with a snakeskin clutch and pointy heels, or match a candyfloss grecian gown with dark, smoky eye makeup and hair in an updo style. |
