Choosing a Black and White Prom Dress for Your Special Occasion
By Francis Sinclair

Ah, prom. You probably first heard about it in kindergarten. Maybe you had a chance to see your older brother or sister dressed up in their finest as their date swept them away to the magical world of prom. You couldn't wait for it to be your turn, right?

Well, now that it is your turn, you're probably going nuts about what you're going to wear. Your boyfriend has it easy. All he has to do is rent a tux. Not so with you. In addition to getting your hair, nails, and makeup done, you have to find the perfect prom dress.

Having a dress that makes you feel like Cinderella off to the ball is crucial, especially if you've always made fashion a top priority. Why not be completely chic, then, and wear a black and white prom dress? With the correct accessories and beauty tips, you could have your friends talking for weeks (and guys calling for dates for much longer than that).

Getting Your Perfect Black and White Prom Dress

Prom dresses come in virtually any color, size and shape. Some classics such as black and white prom dresses, however, never go out of style. Any girl sporting these colors is guaranteed to look classic, elegant and well put together.

Black and white prom dresses look great in any length, and the colors truly compliment all shapes and sizes. A long black and white prom dress with a straight or A-line body flows nicely and gives an edgy look to an elegant style, while a short black and white prom dress looks bold and sassy.

If you want to get noticed, the black and white prom dress is perfect for you. The starkly contrasting colors quickly catch the eye.

Accessorizing Your Black and White Prom Dress

Wearing a black and white prom dress comes with the privilege of being able to wear just about any shoe. If black is the accent color, you can wear a black or white heel (black looks best in high heel and white looks best in a low heel). Another option is wearing a strapped sandal in either color. You should also consider comfort when choosing your shoes. While some high-heeled shoes look absolutely gorgeous, they make walking, let alone dancing, pure torture.

Wearing a black and white prom dress gives you a few options when it comes to accessorizing. One option is to stick with black and white accessories. Another option is to wear silver or gold jewelry. The jewelry should be simple--gold teardrop earrings and a thin gold necklace is perfect.

Makeup should be applied in brown tones, keeping the eyes and lips dramatic, or in pale tones, better complimenting the white color.

Depending on how dramatic or innocent you wish to look, makeup should be applied in brown or pale tones. Hairstyle can be left to your individual taste, since just about any style goes well with a black and white prom dress. Finish your look with nails a French manicure, with which to show off your jewelry.
