Good thing Camille La Vie stays up to date with all the stunning styles for the big event! We guarantee you'll find the right dress for you, just follow these 6 prom shopping tips!
Now, KEEP CALM AND SHOP PROM!
Tip number 1: Check out what's trending on the Internet, Instagram, Pinterest, or TikTok! I don't know about you, but when I need outfit ideas I always go to scrolling on all my social media platforms. It gives you an idea of which styles are trending or what styles you should expect to see in the stores. You'll definitely have a better idea of what you want to take a look at especially if its a popular look!
Tip number 2: Decide which color or color group you would prefer to wear. It is easy to get overwhelmed walking into a dress store especially with hundreds of styles and colors to choose from! But, knowing which color or even design can help you minimize the selection. Figure out if you want to step outside your comfort zone and slay a bold color at prom. You can go for the magical princess vibe with a stunning floral dress. It's prom, find the dress that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable!
Tip number 3: Learn what style looks good on your body type! Finding the right prom dress has a lot to do with a sense of style and attitude, but it's also got a lot to do with shape. You may love a dress for the way it looks on the hanger and hate the way it looks on you (it happens to all of us!). That's because some hem lines and bodices may not be as flattering on certain body types. CLV has the perfect styles for petite, missy, and plus!
Tip number 4: The Buddy System! For big events like prom, its always better to go with a couple of trusted friends or family. You need honest and loving opinions, which a mom, sister, and best friend, will play a huge part in! It never hurts to have an extra opinion for one of the biggest events of your life!
Tip number 5: Don't be scared to try dresses you wouldn't normally wear for an event. Force yourself to go out of your comfort zone. It doesn't hurt to try on a dress you wouldn't normally even look twice at. You may fall in love with it ... or hate it! But who cares, you get new ideas and can have fun looking at what makes you feel like a prom queen!
Tip number 6: Don't forget about the accessories! Yes, the dress is the most important part! But, you need to pair it with some form of jewelry and a stunning shoe to tie the whole look in especially for pictures! There are so many different color and style options that you must try on depending on the color of your prom dress. A red prom dress or navy blue prom dress always looks stunning with a silver jewelry or black shoe!
