Prom And Homecoming Dresses For The 2006 Season.
Now is the time to start searching for prom and homecoming
dresses for 2006. It's nice to allow yourself plenty of time, so
you can relax and enjoy checking out all those gorgeous dresses
before you decide which one is going to be absolutely perfect.
Before you begin searching for your prom or homecoming dress,
you should have a clear idea in your mind of whether you're
looking for a full formal, semi-formal or dressy casual style.
Most high school proms are full formal, so it's the perfect
opportunity to wear that full length ball gown you've always
dreamed of, or the kind of sophisticated formal dress you would
reserve for the most glamorous occasions.
A homecoming dance or event will usually be less formal, but the
dress code will depend on the event and on your particular
school's tradition. The best way to get an idea of the kind of
outfit which will be most appropriate is to just ask the senior
students, or graduates if you know any.
Now is the time of year when the major trends are beginning to
emerge for the coming season. There are a number of looks which
are shaping up to be the big trends for 2006, so you have plenty
of choice.
Prom and Homecoming Fashion Trends for 2006
Black is the new black. Of course, classic black never really
goes out of style, but the sophisticated black dress will be one
of the strongest trends for the 2006 prom season. Slinky shapes
with glamorous floor length skirts are the main focus.
Bold, dramatic black and white will also be an important look,
in particular the classic black and white paneled bodice with a
solid white A-line skirt. We'll also see solid black dresses
with dramatic white detailing.
Winter white is still an important look, particularly with
silvery beads and details.
Colors for 2006 will be bold and dramatic. Soft pastels have
most definitely made way for striking rich reds, dazzling blues,
sparkling golds, sunset yellows and even tangy citrus orange
tones. If you like to be really daring with color, this will be
the year for bold contrasts of two or more strong colors.
The sexy Grecian style gown is tipped to be a particularly hot
look for the 2006 season, after Kelly Clarkson really turned
heads with the stunning gold silk dress she wore at the VMA
Awards in August. If you have a sensational figure, now is the
time to really show it off!
Strapless ball gowns were the main attraction at the Golden
Globe Awards in 2005, worn by everyone from Kim Kattrall of
'Sex
and the City' to 'Friends' favorite Lisa Kudrow, so we'll be
seeing a lot of this fabulous celebrity style in the upcoming
prom season.
Fabrics will be shining, lustrous and glamorous, with satin and
silk the main focus. We'll also see lots of flowing chiffon,
classic taffeta and gorgeous organza.
Beads, sequins, rhinestones, glitter, embroidery and and
specialty detailing will also be a major trend, so if you love a
little glamour it's definitely going to be your year. There will
be lots of beautifully beaded necklines and embroidered bodices.
Extravagantly romantic lace, ribbons, tie-backs and bows will
also be very much in vogue.
There's no single strong trend in hemlines; it's really a case
of anything goes, be it a full floor length skirt, tea length,
short or daringly short. We'll also see everything from cheeky
handkerchief hems to classic A-line shapes, long skirts with
trains, funky asymmetrical hemlines, sexy slit dresses, and even
elegant ballerina skirts. It's really a matter of choosing the
skirt shape and length which best suits your figure and shows
off your assets.
Prom and Homecoming Accessories
Beads and embroidery will also be in very much in vogue for prom
and homecoming accessories. There will be lots of beautifully
designed beaded and embroidered purses and shawls to complement
the season's gowns.
You can never go wrong with strappy mid to high-heel shoes to
complement evening wear. Bear in mind when you're choosing your
shoes that you not only want to look sensational, you also want
to keep dancing all night, so look for evening shoes which are
comfortable as well as stylish.
An alternative shoe style which will make a surprise appearance
in 2006 will be ballet shoes. There will be lots of prom shoes
in ballet styles, but there's no reason why you can't wear real
ballet shoes, which are inexpensive and easy to find. With the
right dress, they'll look absolutely gorgeous.
And the hot tip for jewelry is chandelier earrings, which look
great particularly worn with your hair up to show them off. This
will be the year for bold, extravagant, sparkling jewelry,
including brooches, necklaces, bracelets, rings and tiaras with
every kind of jewel, from dazzling rubies and emeralds to
classic diamonds and pearls.
