5 Reasons Why You Should Go to Prom in a Blue Dress

In This Article:

Your instinct will likely tell you to go for something flashy, attention-grabbing, and sparkly — that’s what most girls do when they think about the prospect of their high school prom.

Fortunately, we assume you’re much more relaxed than that and believe there is much more to dance than just a glammed-up gown. After a bit of research and some red carpet inspiration from celebs who eschew standard red carpet glamour in favor of unique ideas, we’ve listed five reasons why you should go to blue prom dresses.

It’s a color that flatters almost everyone.

If you’re trying to figure out who a blue dress would look good on, the answer is just about everyone. Blue is a universally flattering color that looks great on almost every skin tone and hair color. Darker blues look great on people with darker skin tones, while lighter blues are fantastic for those with paler complexions. Blue can also be a tremendous choice for redheads as it can help mute their fiery locks and make them look much more subtle. Blue also has significant slimming effects and can make you look slimmer and taller. If you’re shorter, blue can make you appear more substantial, and make you look taller, which is excellent if you want to look more adult and sophisticated on your big night.

It’s bold and eye-catching without being overly glammed up.

Blue is a striking color that looks fantastic on the red carpet, but it’s not overly glammed up or sparkly. While you can find plenty of sequinned and bejeweled gowns in blue, you can also find plenty of non-glam options in the color. If you want to go for a dress that’s more understated, blue is a perfect choice. You can also find blue accessories like shoes, handbags, and jewelry, so you can get creative with your look and create a unique outfit that’s all your own. Darker blues like navy or black are fantastic for those who don’t want to draw too much attention to themselves and prefer to stick to more classic colors. Baby and light blues are great for those who want a bolder look and stand out from the crowd.

You can accessorize it easily.

As well as being a bold, simple color, blue is also the color of spring and new beginnings. If you go for a blue dress for your prom, you choose a color that signifies a new start and a fresh face. For many, prom is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts, so why not go for a color that signifies that? Many girls choose pink for their prom, so why not go for a different color and show that you’re different from everyone else? Going for a blue prom dress for your prom is a bold and unique choice. It’s a simple color, but one that can be styled in many different ways, making it incredibly versatile. Blue can be as understated or bold as you want it to be, making it a fantastic choice for any girl who wants to make a statement on their big night.

It’s an easy color to match for friends who decide to go in groups.

If you and your friends decide to go to prom together and want to match but aren’t sure what color you should all go in, blue is an easy, safe option that fits everything. Going in a group of blue is also a great way to stand out from the crowd. Blue is an excellent color for you if you don’t want to match exactly. If you and your friends all decide to go in blue, you can still easily be differentiated from one another thanks to the fact that each of you can match your dress with different accessories.

Conclusion

When it comes to prom, very few colors can compare to blue. It’s bold, eye-catching, and a great color for those who want to make a statement on their big night. Blue is a simple, classic color that can be styled in many different ways, making it incredibly versatile and perfect for any girl who wants to make a statement on their big night. If you’re still not convinced that blue is the right color for you, we recommend you do some research and get inspired by the many different ways that blue can be styled. Blue is a classic color that will never go out of style, making it a fantastic choice for any girl who wants to make an impression on her big night.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
