Choosing the Right Color for Your Prom Dress

Prom is one of the biggest fashion moments of a girl's life, so when considering choose right color of prom dress can feel like a major decision. The key to dressing like a fabulous formal fashionista is wearing colors that complement your skin tone. Here are some tips help you choose the perfect prom dress!

Spring Complexions – Ladies with spring complexions have warm golden or peach undertones. They generally have neutral blonde, light brown, or strawberry blonde hair with blue or green eyes. Springs can rock warm tone prom dresses in colors like bold red, bronze, peach and gold. Green is a good choice. Try to avoid dark, dull shades such as dark blue or grey as well as black or white gowns.

Summer Complexions – Summer complexions have pink undertones. Summer ladies have light colored eyes and tend to be natural blondes or dark brunettes. Choose a prom dress in a light pastel shade or a soft neutral color with rose and blue undertones. Lavender, plum, silver, and eggshell blue are to die for while colors like black and orange should be avoided. 

Autumn Complexions – UV Prom darlings with autumn complexions have warm golden or reddish undertones. Many redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes tend to have an autumn complexion. Prom dresses in warm hues like champagne, ivory, gold, orange, and rich brown are the most flattering, while bright colors, stark white, and true black should be avoided because they can accentuate the yellow skin tones. 

Winter Complexions – Winter complexions have cool blue or pink undertones. Their skin is often either fair white, golden-olive, or ebony. Winters are generally brunettes with deep, richly colored eyes. Bold vibrant hues that are sharp and clear are the most flattering prom dress choices. Opt for formal gowns in white, black, and vivid pink as well as rich jewel tones like ruby and sapphire. Try to avoid more neutral muted colors like champagne, camel, or smoky grey.
