And the most knowledgeable people in fashion will help us in this - famous Russian designers and stylists. So…

BE IN ALL WEAPONS!

Of course, you know that an integral and harmonious image is made up of a set of details that you definitely need to think over. It's not enough just to buy a nice dress. It is important that every detail of your prom dress speaks of your impeccable and refined taste. But we will start, of course, with the most important thing - that without which no ball will take place.

THE DRESS

The general trend of recent years is such that fluffy skirts, tutus and corsets are becoming relics of the past. If you want to look really stylish during your prom, forget about them. I understand that the very name of the holiday - "prom" - sets you up in a special, pseudo-historical way. And yet, one should not regret the bygone times of Louis IV or Catherine II. A modern princess, Cinderella, if you want, can conquer those around her with her beauty only if she is dressed in a dress appropriate for modern times. Here is what Petr Aksenov, one of the most successful stylists in Moscow, has to say about this:

"To look flawless at prom, you must first forget about crinolines and ruffles. But, despite the fact that everything should be very laconic, do not be afraid to experiment with style, mix glamor and romance with more aggressive manifestations. If you really want something." classics ", put on a little black silk dress in the spirit of Chanel, which for several decades has been synonymous with style and sexuality."

At the same time, if Chanel is too expensive for you, there are a lot of more affordable "Chanel substitutes" - like a black cocktail dress from Morgan, which will definitely not lie in your closet and will be worn more than once.

Designer Evgenia Ostrovskaya also advises choosing simpler dresses, but for more practical reasons: you still have to dance all night long! “Your outfit should not be too long and tight, like a pencil case dress,” says Evgenia, “such models are intended only for sculptural posing on the red carpet. Ideally, the dress should have a classic length and cover the knees.”

However, when starting to experiment, do not forget to properly analyze the features of your figure. After all, as the designer Alexander Terekhov, who creates concert images of such pop divas as Angelica Varum, Anastasia Stotskaya, "Reflex" and VIA "Cream", says, the prom dress should first of all go to its owner. It should not only be beautiful - it should show you in the most favorable light. And remember, a prom dress should also be comfortable!

Here are a couple of tips for those who don't know how to highlight their strengths and hide flaws with the help of a style.

LITTLE GROWTH

If you are being teased with “a meter with a cap in a jump”, the perfect option for you is a short dress with a high or low waist, such as a two-layer dress in silk and tulle from H&M or a knitted dress from Mexx.

A BIG INCREASE

If, on the contrary, you are a "high-flying bird", you need to choose more elongated outfits. A silk dress from Alain Manoukian or a dress with polka dots that are relevant this season from Karen Millen is perfect for you.

SMALL VOLUMES

Do not be ashamed of the fact that you do not fit into the parameters "90-60-90". You just need to skillfully hide your curvy forms. A separate outfit - a skirt and a top - like the ones that temptingly glance at you from the Esprit and Miss Sixty windows will help you with this. “Sometimes such a well-made pair can overshadow any dress,” confirms Evgenia Ostrovskaya.

TRENDS

I think you will not deny that when choosing an outfit for a prom, you should be guided by fashion trends. After all, no one wants to look old-fashioned in the evening when you feel that life is just beginning and there is still so much beauty ahead. That is why, perhaps, the brightest and most popular designer in our country, Masha Tsigal, will tell you about what dresses are ordered from her this season.

"This season we have been ordered a lot of prom dresses. Their main trends are brightness and originality in the form of color and cut and the transition from lush ball gowns to looser models. Silk dresses are very popular now - plain and dyed using the batik technique - with embellishments. made of rhinestones, sequins, appliques, decorated by magical fairies. Some of them order for their graduation the very pink dress in which I went to the catwalk as a bride at one of my shows."

What about accessories?

SHOES

When it comes to choosing shoes, all designers agree on one thing: it must clearly match your dress. Evgenia Ostrovskaya suggests: ballet flats and low-heeled shoes are perfectly combined with tunics, and stilettos and sandals on a small wedge look good with dresses in the spirit of the 50s with fluffy skirts. Petr Aksenov advises graduates to stick to extremely high heels, which are extremely relevant this season.

ACCESSORIES

Accessories can both decorate and ruin any outfit, so in no case should you overdo it with them. So, Masha Tsigal believes that the main and best accessory to a prom dress for any girl is a crown in which she will feel like a real princess.

You can attach a thin pearl thread around your neck (again, if you cannot afford real pearls, use its imitation) or a small pendant that will add mystery and sophistication to you. In no case should you choose massive necklaces and long rhinestone earrings that will look rough and vulgar. It is also worth giving up bags in favor of reticules and tiny satin envelopes.

HAIRSTYLE

Despite the fact that graduation is a grandiose celebration, you should not build the Leaning Tower of Pisa on your head. More than ever, naturalness and naturalness are in fashion now. As Alexander Terekhov says, one should not forget that you will always have time to grow up. Replace your evening styling with natural curls and you will be simply irresistible!

MAKEUP

Here, no matter how unfortunate it may seem to many of you, harmony with yourself and nature also reigns. “Forever forget about drawings on your nails, thick makeup and luscious shiny lips,” warns Evgenia Ostrovskaya. “You must impress a young girl, not a vicious diva, and then the world will fall at your feet.”

Here, it seems, and all aspects of the graduation image are considered. There is perhaps only one left, but the most important one: do not forget to take a smile and a good mood with you to the prom - and then it will definitely be remembered as the most beautiful day in your life!
