How To Accessorize A Red Prom Dress
Red prom dresses can steal the spotlight from the rest of your outfits, but that does not mean you can skip the fancy accessories which can complete your prom look. When choose your makeup, earrings, necklace, purse and shoes, you should choose the right ones that complement your dress rather than compete with it!
Ask yourself which season and at what time of day you'll be wearing your dress. During Spring and Summer, stick with light colored accessories, such as cream or white. Dark colors such as black and brown can be worn during Fall and Winter.
Choose a handbag or purse that matches the exact color of your dress. If this isn't possible, match the color of your shoes. Don't carry a handbag that is the same color but a different tone. The lighter piece will look washed out.
If you are going to attend a formal event like weddings, balls, and ceremonies, consider wearing metallic shoes and jewelry. If your dress looks simple, embellish it with a brooch or your favorite necklace.
No dress is complete without the perfect set of shoes. A red prom dress will look perfect with a right pair of shoes.
Red shoes work with a red dress as well because they are matching in color. The problem with a red shoe is finding the right shade. It is important to match the shoe to the dress, to make sure the shade of red is not lighter or darker than the dress itself.
Black shoes work nicely with a red dress and can be used whether the dress is plain or decorative. Black is considered a more formal shoe, and is often a good choice at an office party, a meeting or an occasion where it is uncertain how formal the dress should be.
If the dress has a touch of silver or gold on it, the appropriately matching shoes can work with a red dress as well. Silver sparkles on a red dress are a common sight, and a pair of silver shoes accents this feature of the dress nicely. This still keeps a formal look to the outfit by using matching colors, but it also helps create beauty and accents the figure. Choose accessories in gold or silver to match the accents on the dress and the shoes as well.
