Over the past few weeks, prom tuxedo rentals have taken center stage. Much has been discussed this year about either to match, not to match, long tie, bow tie, and so forth. However, what seems to have been missing is your prom style.
Yes, we at International Prom feel that a tuxedo is a must for such a formal occasion as prom but options are endless for the creation of your look. Whether you lean toward the tuxedo suit in black, white, charcoal/grey, or truffle starting your look may be easy but after that the options become endless.
A few key elements that you need to consider to make the look all yours: do you want a bow tie or a “long” tie, a vest or a cummerbund, an extra splash of color with a pocket square, a top hat or cane as you can see the options continue as you start to customize “your” style. Then do you match, complement, or go completely opposite in your color choice for the accessories. (Wow, that seems like a lot!)
Girls will say they want you to match but we have seen this trend move toward compliment. This allows for that younger prom look. Just remember that you should compliment and highlight her and her dress not overwhelm them.
Your choices may be endless but still choose wisely and your entrance will be talked about for years to come.

Pink prom dresses bring to life the feeling of fun and excitement. Using the passion of red and the purity of white, the mix of pink is sure to be associated with the happiness and lighthearted carefree times which prom brings. Pink, as a prom color, has been a staple in the industry for decades. Even if you don’t like a solid pink dress, try a black trend setting style then accent with “chucky” statement accessories in a pink hue for a dramatic entrance. Whatever your color choice (baby pink, “Barbie” pink, magenta, hot pink, or fuchsia) look for your favorite shade of pink to make you the fashionista you desire on prom night.
Spring time! Yes, it is officially spring and the color that most reminds the International Prom staff of spring is yellow! A bright cheerful color, yellow evokes optimism and happiness. Known as the happiest color in the color spectrum, a warm loving color, yellow can signify the joy that is associated with the events surrounding prom. Look toward your favorite yellow hue for that gorgeous glowing spring feeling or add beautiful yellow roses to “spring” your look! After all yellow compliments almost every hue….so you chose.

Is it royal, turquoise, navy, or aqua? Whatever you call your favorite shade, the color of the week is blue. An overwhelming “favorite color”, blue is viewed as a stable, calming hue that evokes an engaging and dynamic effect. The latest trend of rich, deep color has ignited the classic shades of royal and navy moving them to the forefront of the prom palette. With the heavy embellishment of today’s prom styling these rich colors set forth a couture prom look that many desire. So, whatever your favorite shade, the youthfulness of turquoise, the calming peace of ocean or sky, or the exhilaration of royal, blue may just be the color you look to for that extravagant entrance making prom style.
The classic edge of the “little black dress” is making its mark once again on prom fashion. Over the past few years black has taken a secondary role as designers and shoppers alike leaned toward the vivid hues of pinks and blues. This year however, black has stepped back into the forefront with the elegance and styling that makes the black dress simply stunning. Black’s authoritative and powerful color (or lack of color) shows the sophistication and grace that makes that “little black dress” whether long or short, sleek or heavily embellished a must for head turning entrances for Prom 2012.
The color of prom, the regal look of purple, is making a statement in all areas of fashion. Known in ancient times as a dye, the color of purple was literally worth its weight in silver making it the color of the elite. Now used in all facets of the fashion industry, purple is making a statement for Prom 2012 as the balance between the calming of blue and the excitability of red. Thus, leaving us with the color of an uplifting and creative spirit that is shown throughout the promenade that is now prom. Look for purple in all your favorite shades of amethyst, violet, lilac, or plum. Whichever you chose it is sure to be an attention getting look!
The color of the week for prom 2012 dresses…orange! Or tangerine, mango, papaya, coral take your pick for the name of your favorite orange color. We have talked about orange when the Pantone Institute named the color of the year for 2012 as Tangerine Tango. Orange is throughout the designer prom industry in a variety of hues and prints. The vivid color of orange radiates warmth and energy for that prefect prom look. While in some Asian countries it is said to show happiness and love, also perfect for prom. Either way the one common thread with the color of orange is a vibrate look that is sure to evoke the energy of the night that is associated with prom!
