Trends for Prom 2012

Although I'm a few years away from having my Senior Prom, I still think it's fun to keep up on the latest and most fashionable prom trends. This year there are some that I like, and some that...well, I just don't. Also, with this being my 9th grade Freshman year, I get to go to my school's Semi-Formal in April. I actually ended up choosing a dress that just so happened to have some of the qualities and characteristics that are in trend this year.

With proms and semi-formals approaching within the following months, I decided to take the time to put together a list of Prom 2012 trends this year.

1. Full & Flowy

This year, dresses that are big and free-flowing are in. I love the look of dresses like these because they have a way about them that remind me so much of a what princess from a Disney movie would wear to a ball. This style dress is quite possibly one of my favorites this year (I'll get to my top favorites soon enough!).



2. Bold Prints

Now, this is the type of dress that I do not like what-so-ever. But, obviously taste varies from person to person. I'm just one of those people who goes towards classic dresses, I'm not much for a hot pink and neon green zebra print dress. Personally, I feel as though this is a little too gaudy for a formal event. But as I said before, your taste is your own.

3. Metallics & More

Now, this is definitley something I like. I love the look of gold and silver dresses, especially for formal events. I was actually after a gold sequin dress, but I couldn't find the one for me. (But, ANYWAY!) I feel like these color and style dresses look beautiful on a range of skin tones. I would suggest the gold shade for olive/warmer skin tones and the silver shade for light/more fair skin tones.

                                                                                                    

4. Bejeweled

Who doesn't love a little glitz & glam? I know I do! This year, along with the sequins and glitter, bejeweled dresses are in. I love the look of diamond embroidered dresses, the jewels seem to catch the light in the most beautiful ways. There seem to be a lot of dresses coming out this year that are either dripping in jewels on the neckline, or are just glimmering from top to bottom.
