Choosing The Proper Cocktail And Prom Dresses

For 2010, the focus is on style, cut and fabrics for formal attire. For homecoming dresses, cocktail dresses and that special prom dress, look for shiny fabrics and simple styles. Fabrics such as taffeta, satin, organza and silk charmeuse are on all the runways. Iridescent finishes are also adding an extra glow to many prom dresses in the display windows of some prominent prom dress shops. The same styling seems to be holding true for the spring dresses, as many sample designer formal dresses in the fashion shows are following simple, straight lines, with lots of bare shoulders in glistening fabrics. Even, some of the glittering, silky knits are coming down the runway this spring.

This spring the color palette is trending towards rich and vibrant tones. Color like sunrise, a peachy, bright orange and slate, a deep bluish grey are being featured in many formal dress lines. Burgundy, bright greens and vivid blues are being prominently seen in this spring's prom dresses. Many designers are offering a single, simply styled homecoming or prom dress in a multitude of shades and tones within the same palette. One major prom planner relays that a recent event she planned had every gal in the prom wearing the same style prom dresses in a variety of hues from palest peach to chocolate brown.

As well as color and fabric, it's the cut this spring that will make the difference. Simple shorter styles with unique embellishments will create a look with your prom dresses that everyone will remember. Strapless, off the shoulder or a single shoulder sheath style with little extras like small taffeta roses at an empire waist, are seen in both cocktail dresses and at the prom dress shops. Tea-lengths are much more popular this spring than ankle length gowns. Many formal and prom dress shops are featuring elegant dresses ending at or on the knee. A formal prom dress or cocktail dresses no longer need to be sweeping the floor. Short prom dresses can be very cute and compliment the body of the woman who wears them. Elegant styles for every dance, cocktail or prom can be found in the shorter lengths that are so popular this spring.

Square necklines with wider halter straps, wrap-styles with deep "V" necks and classic strapless dresses with empire waists followed by a slim, sleek skirt are gracing many cocktail dresses and prom dresses. Keeping to a simple style graced by small but lovely details will make your prom dress a hit at your special dance. Cocktail dresses in elegant cuts, glistening in shiny fabrics with lots of bare shoulders will complement any woman's ensemble, allowing her to enhance her style with the right accessories. Regardless of this spring's trends, select a prom dress or cocktail dresses that fulfill your mental visual picture of your perfect event. The goal is to make your day one you'll cherish forever and make a good impression on those who will attend the same event as you. Being pretty is the goal anyway.
