Finding The Perfect Prom Dress This Season: What Your Prom Dress Color Says About You

Prom is one of the most exciting and memorable events of high school, and choosing the perfect prom dress is a big part of the experience. With so many colors, finding the perfect one for the perfect night can be overwhelming. You may ask questions such as, what vibe do I want to give off? Who am I trying to impress? What color compliments me best? The color of your dress and how you accessorize it plays a significant role in all of this and Faviana offers a wide variety of colors to choose from. Colors can be split into three categories – warm, cool, and neutral. Let’s take a look at the colors that fall into each and discuss what that says about the person who wears it.

Warm Colors – Red, Orange, Yellow

Red is a bold and intense color that is often associated with passion, love, and excitement.  It is a color that symbolizes confidence and strength, making it the perfect choice for a prom dress. When it comes to accessories, red prom dresses pair well with silver or gold jewelry. A pair of silver or gold earrings and a matching necklace will add some shine to your look. A pair of strappy silver or gold heels will also complement your dress perfectly. A prom dress like the Faviana S10508 in Red will certainly get you noticed and convey a confident, passionate and driven personality.

Pink is a mix of red and white, red representing love and white representing purity. The color pink is known for representing love, nurture, and compassion.

Cool Colors – Blue, Green, Purple

Cool colors, such as blue, green, and purple, have a calming and soothing effect on the human eye and mind and they’re often associated with nature, water, and relaxation.

Blue represents the sea, sky, and open spaces. Blue is a very versatile color and can range from the pale blue of a clear sky to the deep blue of the ocean. It is often associated with trust, loyalty, and wisdom. Opt for silver or white gold jewelry to complement the blue dress. A simple necklace or earrings can add just the right amount of sparkle without overwhelming the dress. Blue prom dresses pair well with silver, white or nude shoes. Avoid wearing black shoes as they can clash with the blue dress. A silver or white clutch will complement the dress and add a touch of elegance to the overall look.

Green represents nature, abundance, and wealth. It’s a popular choice among prom-goers looking for a unique and eye-catching look on their big night. This versatile color can range from a soft mint to a deep forest green, offering a wide range of options for any skin tone or personal style. The color green is associated with growth, renewal, and nature, making it a perfect choice for a spring or summer prom. For a more traditional and elegant look, try pairing your dress with gold or pearl jewelry and neutral-colored heels. For a more modern and edgy look, try pairing your dress with silver jewelry and bold, colorful heels. Wearing the Faviana 11011 dress in Dark Emerald tells others you are ready to move forward with a fresh start and want to feel grounded.

Purple is closely associated with royalty and riches, power and wealth. These dresses come in a variety of shades, from lavender to eggplant, and can be found in a range of styles to suit any taste.

Black prom dresses are a timeless and elegant choice for prom night. The color black is associated with sophistication, elegance, and mystery, making it the perfect choice for this special occasion.
