How to Find the Right Prom Dress Matching Your Age

What do your dream prom dresses look like? Would you choose something timeless and understated? A gorgeous vintage number? Something short and playful? From the classic to the glitzy and even bold neon, prom dresses come in almost every style known to man, and choosing one can be tough. How do you find something that makes you look and feel great, flatters you and sums up your personality?! This should help: here’s some of the hottest prom dresses from Pickedlooks.com right now, and how to make them suit your figure.

The key is to know your body. Take a long hard look in the mirror and assess your body: Are you a pear shape, bigger on the top than on the bottom? An apple shape, bigger around the middle with narrow legs? Do you have a curvy shape, or are you more angular with little definition from the shoulders to the hips? Look for your positives: Do you want to accentuate your great shoulders? Your beautiful calves? Do you have a graceful collar bone you’d like to show off? Dress to accentuate the positive and downplay the negative.
Make sure the dress can match your taste. Have you ever been out and noticed that when some women walk by, everyone stops to look? The looks are typically not because she has dressed in sexy clothing – perhaps she’s covered head to toe. The looks are because she has style. You can achieve your own sense of style by paying attention to what you wear and how it makes you look and feel. Pay close attention to how your fashion icon dresses, stands and present herself. The person who has personal style exudes confidence and flair, and always looks great. Style is not a finite concept; it evolves with each person, changing with the body and the needs of life.
Going shopping. Now that you know a few tips for dressing well at any age, it is time to delve into the realities of dressing for your particular age. Looking your age is never a bad thing when that look says class, elegance, and a woman who knows who she is. There are no steadfast rules for dressing your age, but there are guidelines that help you achieve your best look, whether you are 25 or 45.
Try it on as more as possible. Shopping success means trying clothing on. What looks good on a hanger may not look good on your particular body type. And sizes, as we all know, run differently from manufacturer to manufacturer. Plan to shop only when you can go try items on. Then you’ll have time to stare into the mirror and pay close attention to what you see. You can determine if the article of clothing accentuates your positives while minimizing the problem areas.
