Prom Dresses Trends 2013

Everything is hot on the prom 2013 runways this season. For the most part the hottest trends and styles are those that make heads turn. Sparkling dresses with flowy skirts are a must have. Other popular trends straight from the designer runways include sheer, chiffon, sequins, ruffles, and animal prints. Yes, animal print prom dresses are definitely in for prom 2013. Red dresses are also a must have because they are reminiscent of Hollywood glamour. Prom 2013 dresses are all about intricate detailing. The more detail, the better.

The most popular of all of these trends are sequins and sheer. Sequins and beading can steal a show. The more bling you have on your dress, the more you will be seen. Sequins come in many different shapes. They are typically accompanied by beading but are sometimes placed alone. Sequins are being seen in every prom dress collection on the runway. Sheer is another popular trend. Sheer provides a peek-a-boo of sorts for its observers. The sheer on these prom dresses are usually lined with beading and sequins, which give you two hot trends in one dress. The lining of sequins also helps in not revealing too much skin.

Chiffon is also picking up major steam, for it gives the illusion of floating as opposed to simply walking. It makes your movements seem effortless. Chiffon adds a touch of grace making for a flirty, romantic look. Ruffles are making a huge comeback and for prom 2013 they are essential for an ultra-feminine look. They look great on ball gowns and cocktail gowns, especially high-low dresses. Animal print prom dresses are another surprising treat from the prom 2013 runways.

Celebrities are constantly wearing animal print, particularly leopard and zebra, to doll up any outfit. The most popular prints are leopard and zebra. Recently, designers have been mixing these prints with solid colors in order to make for a more distinguished look. An example of this is when you see a dress with zebra on the bust area and from the waist down it is a solid color. This helps to tone down the sexiness of the dress and give it a more youthful feel. An extremely popular animal print trend is colored leopard print dresses. Blue and pink leopard are among the most popular colors. The trick to figuring out if an animal print prom dress is right for you is to narrow down the pros and cons. But before you do that figure out what style and shape you want your dress to be: mermaid, princess, empire, A-line, sheath, etc.

The flapper detailing featured on dresses from the roaring 1920’s are also being used in a more sophisticated fashion. They add a delicate, yet fun feel to any prom dress. Red dresses and flowing dresses featuring intricate artwork (futuristic dresses) are making their way from the red carpets of Hollywood to the prom 2013 runways. Prom has turned into a more elegant celebration and girls are opting for classier dresses. The color red represents love so it’s perfect for a prom night. Your date will appreciate the way your long red dress gracefully dances against the floor every time you move. The color red exaggerates movement, just as the detailing on a futuristic dress does. These dresses give the illusion of height and movement which is why most of them are full-length.

Leg slits are great in full-length gowns and were featured on several gowns on the prom 2013 runways. Nudes and pastels are always in for prom season, so that’s a given. When in doubt go with sequins or a pastel. No matter what your personal preference is these prom dress trends are undeniably hot for the 2013 prom season!
