Funk Fusion – Your Prom

Prom night … this is what High School usually means to most teenagers. The late night partying, loud music, limousines, handsome tuxedos and off the shoulder dresses, that is what prom nights are all about. Looking your best is the most important thing for boys and girls on this big night, but even more so for girls. Usually you would see most girls wearing black dresses in various styles but its time to stand out a bit, to be yourself, and to look refreshingly different.
For boys the choices are quite limited. But for a girl, its a whole different story. Why go for the boring black? Add a little element of funk to your already elevated mood for partying. Bold and bright is the way to go for the girl who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go get it.

Choose bright, bold colors like red, magenta and fuchsia. Or you can go for the dazzling effect with silvers, gold and platinum. A words of caution though, funky does not mean rebellious, don’t over do it in your enthusiasm to be different.
Add vibrancy to your prom dress with a funky but tasteful play on colors. Accessories in bold, unusual shades also add up to making your dream prom dress come true.

Besides color, the style and cut of your dress is also very important. Choose different styles then the run of the mill ones available at the Mall. Go for Oriental, Victorian cuts or dress like a Czarina in vintage yet glamorous cuts. Prom night is time for you to let go a little of your modesty. Play with the necklines. There is a myriad of choices out there. Get a halter neck if you have an ivory neck you are proud of but usually hide behind high-necks, go strapless to show off your lovely beauty bones and arms. However, be careful to look elegant and sexy but not get too revealing. Keep it subtle.
Now how about going for the princess effect? Accessorize your dress with sequins and diamantes. These add a funky glamour to any dress if wisely used. Try on some colorful beads, laces and even feathers. The latter adds an instant lift to your dress making it more trendy and glamorous if used tastefully.

Now funky doesn’t mean unfeminine. Quite on the contrary, you can look immensely feminine and alluring thanks to the extra funk in your dress. The length of your dress can add to your naturally feminism. Long dresses look very elegant and chic especially in bold, vibrant colors. A short, knee length dress would look great on leggy beauties and would look extremely attractive.

Fashion is very relative. The styles that were in last year may be out this year. It really depends on the individual’s own choice and what he or she can carry off with ease. Being comfortable in what you wear is extremely important or otherwise your discomfort will show and make an attractive prom dress look boring. If you are the fun and funky type, do not hesitate to go for what you want just because you are afraid it’s not the dress code for the night. It is you who make the dress code. Go crazy with your choice of colors; delve into rhinestones, crystals and sequins. A funky, personalized dress is always a fashion statement, setting a trend for others to follow.
