A Halter Dress For All Occasions

Halter tops and dresses have one of the most flattering cuts in evening wear today; but did you know that this style goes way back to the days of early India where it was worn by queens and maids of honor? Halter tops have evolved to become elegantly designed dresses and gowns with fabrics made from silk and other expensive, lightweight materials. Halter top dresses and long gowns are now a popular choice for proms, weddings and other occasions and they never go out of style.

Whether it’s the prom, a wedding or a formal dinner party you’re going to, you’ll never go wrong with a halter dress or gown. It’s known for its very flattering cut – if you want to draw attention, this is a good choice. Halter gowns and dresses typically bare the shoulders and may occasionally dip low enough to reveal a hint of cleavage. The halter dress brings focus to a woman’s upper body, so if you’ve got the upper bod to show off, the halter is definitely for you. If you’re a bit thicker on the thighs or hips, a halter dress is ideal for concealing those areas. When choosing a halter dress, learn to accessorize and take note of the following:
Perfect Halter Fit
Yes, this may apply to all dresses, but this is very true of a dress that’s meant to be shown off! A halter dress is generally flattering on most figures, so there’s no excuse not to wear one that flows seamlessly on the bottom and fits comfortably on top. Pick one that hugs your body in all the right places, with straps that fits snugly from your armpits to the shoulder and neck area.
Color and Your Skin Tone
Orange may be your favorite color but it may clash with your skin tone. Stick to colors that flatter your skin tone. Whether it’s black, red, green or a gown with vibrant prints, make sure the color does not wash you out. If you’re heavier, avoid exuberant prints or horizontal stripes. They give the illusion of bulkiness!
Halter Style
We all know over-the-top glitz is usually never a good idea. Stick to a few well-placed adornments in your dress. Some are beautifully embellished with embroidery, gemstones or sequins. Others may feature small cutout sections around the halter neckline. Halter straps may also be very wide or extremely thin. Choose what fits the occasion and make sure you’re wearing your halter dress right.

Fun, Flirty and Floral

If you’re into floral fashion, you’ll definitely love how it’s dominating runways this spring. Let your softer, more feminine side dominate prom and other runway worthy occasions with lace, ruffles, flowers and all that is girly and romantic! Put on a floral dress and strappy heels and turn heads. With weather that’s incredibly gorgeous, you have more reason to be a flower child.

Go for fun, flirty and floral to the prom or any evening occasion. They are fun and not as difficult to wear as you might imagine. Just remember to keep the florals on your dress, and don’t overdo by accessorizing with florals as well. Your accessories should be neutral to balance out the floral print of your dress.
Don’t be afraid to go floral, no matter what your body type is. It is one of the stand-out fashion trends for prom, and even if you’re not going to one, you can still wear it to dinner parties and other formal occasions. Floral dresses range from floral ball gowns to long, flowing floral prints. For prom, if you’re feeling ‘princess-y’, opt for a full chiffon skirt and watercolor floral print. You’ll absolutely look and feel like a princess!

If you have decided to wear a floral dress to your prom, make sure your overall look is perfect. This means no clashing prints and accessories. To look absolutely fabulous in your floral prom gown, here are a few tips:

Be picky with the cut

Florals run the danger of looking stodgy unless you have chosen a modern and flattering cut. Choose cuts that are either classic or of-the-moment. If the cut is so trendy that it’s frivolous, chances are you will only wear it once, which is a waste of money. Buy something you will feel comfortable wearing for various occasions without looking ridiculous.

Accessorize with chandelier earrings and cuff bracelets

Chandelier earrings are big this spring, and they look terrific with a floral dress. Cuff bracelets are another popular jewelry trend. Don’t wear a necklace along with a floral dress, if possible. However, if you really must, a simple chain will do. In the past few years, we have seen more silver worn for proms than gold, but we think that gold jewelry works well with most floral prom dresses.

Wearing A Little Black Dress To The Prom

Forget what they say about black being boring for proms. Black happens to be the classiest of all colors, and it never goes out of style. Colorful gowns can be fabulous, but why not choose a sexy, classy little black dress to create an eye-catching and stunning statement at the prom? You can hardly go wrong with it, and you can do so much with makeup and accessories.

There are so many reasons to love the little black dress. It’s an iconic statement, and it can be sexy, glamorous, classy and chic all at once. Wearing the LBD, as some call it, can make you look slimmer too. The worth and beauty of this dress lies in its simplicity, so for prom night, find an elegant LBD that carries a little surprise such as a slight slit up the side, a deep V back, a lacy hemline or some sheer netting across the bust or arms. Since this is a special night, details such as buttons, sashes, cuffs or glitter will create a more glamorous twist to an otherwise plain little black dress. Here are some tips when wearing a LBD to the prom.

Mind the cut and style

Little black dresses and gowns come in all sizes and shapes. Pick one that flatters your body type. Whatever cut or style you choose, make sure it’s clean and timeless, and that it fits you perfectly in all the right places. Remember, the beauty of the LBD is in its unabashed minimalism.

Mind your hairstyle

If your little black dress is off-shoulder, why not wear an up-do like the French twist? It will help drive focus to your shoulders, giving you a completely classy look. For a little black dress with shoulder straps, you need to wear your hair down. To add more volume to your hair, brush upside down then apply hair serum to make it look shiny.
Mind your makeup
Feel free to play with colors to go with your accessories, but your safest yet sexiest bet for a little black dress is a pair of smoky eyes. With an elegant black dress, you can go for the nude, natural look and just play up your eyes.

Mind your accessories

You’ll need a small black purse to go with your little black dress, preferably a clutch bag in shiny leather or sparkly sequins. Keep jewelry to a bare minimum – small, but with some excellent shine.
