Prom 2008 Trends

It may seem a little early to be talking about prom, but if it's your year I'm sure you've already been thinking about it for months and with prom just a few short months away, it's really time to be making preparations. Here, SHF will give you the low-down on the hottest prom trends
for 2008 (note-all dress examples are from Alyce Designs because they're a personal fav and always in style):

1) Hot colours: There are a plethora of new dresses for 2008 in hot happy hues. If you want a dress that is completely right-now and will stand out, go for one of the many bright coloured styles avaliable. Try to choose one that flatters you most, any bright colour will do, lemon yellows, cherry reds, oranges and pinks all pop this season.

2) Embellishments: With the abundance of fur and feathers that predominated the 2007 fall collections, it's no suprise that embellishments have translated to the hottest prom styles for this spring. Feathers, sequins, ruffles and bows add to the chic-est prom styles for this year.

3) Patterns: A trend from this past fashion week translates well for the well-dressed prom queen. From polka-dots to florals, there are many unique and chic patterns to choose from.

4) Prom princess: The full-skirted, princess-pink, ball gown styles died for about a decade in the 90s but have recently made a huge comeback and now are one of the most stylish choices for the modern prom. Think bodice top with layers upon layers of chiffon and just a bit of sparkle. Prom perfect. (Note-this last dress is a more modern version of the dress I wore to my prom 2006)

Of course, vintage dresses (50s style is best for prom) and anything that is uniquely you is always a stylish choice for prom. The key is to have fun and wear something that makes you feel fabulous to have a night to remember.
