You’ve found the perfect dress for prom – now you need the most glamorous, hottest accessories to complement your outfit! We can help – we’ve compiled a list of the most stylish add-ons for your special night.
Accessories can give your ensemble sizzling style that really makes you stand out. It’s important to look for accessories that add a high-fashion element to your look, without costing a fortune. By mimicking the fashions on shows like Gossip Girl, and taking your cue from Hollywood’s red carpet events, you can make it a night to remember! Here is our list of the best new accessories for prom 2009!
Headbands
If you watch Gossip Girl, you know how stylish and chic a bright headband can look, whether you wear your hair up or down. Make sure you get a great blowout that maximizes volume and shine, and then find a stylish head band you can tuck into your locks to add a youthful, fresh look to your prom outfit. Consider a contrasting headband, perhaps with a bow, and don’t be afraid to wear earrings and other jewelry, too! A headband can be inexpensive or luxe, and it will always add a modern feel to your prom look. Hot pink or Tiffany blue would be great choices for your big night.
Check out stores like Claire’s or Express for headbands that are cutting-edge, and be sure to take your gown along when you shop for accessories – bring it along in a bag with the receipt, and get a sense of the overall effect before you buy!
Cocktail Rings
A bright cocktail ring with a large stone or cluster of gems will look very Vogue, and it will really amp up your outfit. To make a cocktail ring modern, combine it with short nails, painted in a very urban colour, such as reddish-black, dark cherry, or even navy blue. Complement the cocktail ring by painting your nails in a complementary tone, and wear it on the hand you use to write with, or carry a drink with! Cocktail rings can be inexpensive copies from stores in the mall, or they can cost thousands of dollars. Shop around for a stunning ring that is fun and stylish, for a touch of Hollywood glamour that will make you feel confident and chic.
Necklaces
If your dress is simple, consider long, beaded or crystal necklaces with a vintage feel, to give you the Kate Moss look. Kate often adds a stunning, unique necklace, with a retro feel, to add a bit of vintage glamour to shift dresses. The beauty of buying a necklace like this is its versatility – you can wear it after the prom, even with jeans and a simple top. Check out Ebay for Kate Moss’ own line of necklaces from TopShop, such as oversized crystal heart necklaces, or original coin necklace designs. Look at fashion magazines to see how the best stylists combine bolder necklaces with formal gowns, for a truly individual effect that is so high fashion!
