Color Coordinating Prom With Your Date

For most teenage girls, prom is the pinnacle of their high school career. You have worked your butt of throughout 4 years of classes and activities and sports, have been accepted to the college of your choice and now it is finally time to celebrate. Prom is the perfect time to gather with your friends for one last finally hurrah and of course, you want to look good. Not only should you look good, but your date has to look good as well. How about color coordinating with prom dresses with your date? Color coordinating guarantees you both will look fabulous the night of your prom.

When it comes to color coordinating your date’s tux with your choice of formal prom dresses, a lot more goes into it than just informing your date of the color you’re wearing. Since a guy is not usually as invested in his ensemble as girls are with their prom dresses, it’s a good idea to talk to your prom date and let him know you want to color coordinate for the big night. Whether it is one of the many designer prom dresses you tried on or the many formal prom dresses you looked at, make sure to tell your date the color of your dress only after you have purchased it. As with any momentous event, you may change your mind and want to go with one of the many other prom dresses you saw and may not match with the color you first told your date.

Once you have chose your favorite of the designer prom dresses you have been mulling over, examine the style. Is it modern or more elegant and romantic looking? Whatever the style, make sure you coordinate this with your date as well. If your dress is modern, your date will want to go with a modern tuxedo. If it is more elegant with lace or ruffles, your date will want to go with a tuxedo with tails or something that is equally as elegant.

Last, but not least, when coordinating prom dresses with your date, make sure that their tie and cummerbund match with the color of your dress. If your dress is purple, the tie and cummerbund should be purple as well. However, if your date is not comfortable with a choice of color, your best option is to go for a classic look. Black and white will work for any occasion and will usually match with any color you decide to go with. So make this a night you remember and look great while doing so!
