Look Hot and Sexy for Prom
The Prom Dress
It's all about the prom dress. Don't, for whatever reason, leave picking out the dress at the last moment. It's a big gamble you'll take because everything else gets an OK after you've decided what you're going to wear. Probably you've heard this a lot, but it's the right method. Whether you choose an 80's dress, corset dress, camo dress, or any other prom dress pattern, you can easily make a better decision as to what color, pattern, hairdo, shoes, accessories, etc. will go with that dress.
Makeup
As for makeup, here's where a lot of girls make mistakes. Granted you want to look outstandingly gorgeous, but going overboard is just not acceptable. As the trend has it, the natural makeup look for prom is very in right now. So for your complexion and the style and color of the dress, you can visit the salon and discuss some makeup ideas. The point is to keep it simple but still come out looking beautiful. And the best way to know what you're going to look like beforehand, go ahead for a trial makeup session to be absolutely sure.
Hairstyle
Next comes the prom hairstyle. Search for different easy to do prom hairstyles in magazines, over the Internet, and also ask your stylist. While you're at the salon going over your makeup look, you can also work the hairstyle in as well. Do a trial hair and makeup session to see how you look. Come home to try your dress on and that's how you'll know.
Accessories
Again, keep it simple. If your dress is jazzy, then there's no need to wear flashy jewelry over it. Shop for cute earrings and a simple necklace (optional), and you're all set. As for the shoes, if you're planning to dance, which you will, low heels with comfortable soles is the way to go. Get a manicure and pedicure on the day of and have a relaxing day before getting ready.
Look Handsome and Dashing for Prom
The Tuxedo
Stay away from pastels and please, no frills. Not every guy is blessed with great fashion sense and that could be problem if you tried to dress yourself regardless. So, first thing you do is hit the stores and search for a classy tux. Or, if you want, you can also rent a tuxedo. Ask for help in the formal men's wear section and you will not go wrong with your tux. And if your date has the whole 80's theme going on, you can easily add some 80's fashion in your look as well.
Hairstyle
Before you decide which men's hairstyle to choose for the big night, remember couple of things to avoid. Don't cut your hair on the day of. Your hair takes at least 3-4 days to settle and look its best. Also, don't alter your current hairstyle drastically. You need to make an impression, a good one. So stick with a quick trim and finalizing your hairstyle with the stylist. I won't get tired of saying this: you don't need to go overboard. Simple and subtle is the best thing.
Shoes
When you are picking out your tuxedo, make sure you finish selecting the shoes as well. Make sure that they are not too flashy and are perfect for they type of tux you're wearing for the night.
Last, but certainly not the least, just relax, take as little stress as possible, and plan your day ahead of time. Get enough rest and don't skip your lunch. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and eat fresh fruits to keep you hydrated. You have to prepare what you're going to do on the days leading to the big night. Don't just leave everything at the last moment. You don't want to be running around getting things done. Plan ahead of time and your prom night will be golden.
