With prom just around the corner, most high school students are trying to make serious plans in order to make this night memorable for them and their dates. Most girls can hardly wait to show off their beautiful dresses or get a look at their guys dressed to the nines. For this special occasion, learning about current fashion trends provides a bit of an edge in choosing the proper dress and accessories for this very special occasion. While many will spend hours, days, even weeks agonizing over the best or most beautiful dress and the price tags attached. Until they find Dress Code Formal and realize their dream dress is accessible and all the right accessories are at their fingertips!

If you have already found your perfect prom dress, that’s great but the work doesn’t end with the selection of your dress. First, you’ll want a small purse or handbag for prom. Your overstuffed every day tote is not going to be appropriate or easy to pull-off. Your purse for prom only needs to be large enough to hold and emergency kit of: stockings, lipstick, cell phone, camera, and a few safety pins. Dress Code Formal’s selection of handbags can be ordered in 20 different colors to match your dress and complete your perfect look!

While fashion is important, the most important aspect of finding the perfect prom shoe is comfort. It doesn’t matter how great the shoe looks if you can’t dance in it or if it will leave you unable to walk for the following 2 weeks. Plus, you can always add a shoe clip from DCF’s accessory section to match your look, without buying a new pair of shoes! Heels are a wise choice for prom as they emphasize the shape of your legs and “force” you to use better posture. Just make sure they fit well and are comfortable.

Now that the biggies are out of the way you can concentrate on the small touches that make prom night special: your jewelry. You will want jewelry that matches the personal theme you are trying to set for the evening. DCF has something for everybody, whether it is elegance or fun that you are looking for. If you are going for elegance you will want understated simple jewelry, if you are going for a fun theme with bright colors you might want to find jewelry that is fun to match your mood. Most importantly, select jewelry that you will wear again at some point in your life. Your jewelry is the icing on your cake for the prom so you do not have to overdo it in order to make an impact. Plus, you won’t have to beg your parents for all that extra cash or your favorite necklace as a birthday gift. This time, with Dress Code Formal, everything becomes affordable!

If you feel a little exposed in your prom dress or are worried about a chill in the air as the night wears on, you can opt to wear a shawl or wrap that compliments your prom dress. This can be a beautiful addition to your prom attire, especially considering that it is not exactly appropriate to wear a jacket for warmth. Your shawl or wrap is an excellent choice for added modesty as well as warmth on your prom night. Be sure to check our accessory section often as it is currently under construction and will continue to have additions of handbags, vests, shoe clips and wraps/shrugs in the next couple of months!
