Today, I’m stuck at home with swimmer’s ear (how does that even happen in February?), but I am lucky enough to have Sara do all the work for me and guest blog about David’s Bridal Prom 2013 collection. I’m a big fan of the high-low trend, so if you’ve got a prom, formal, or just want to wear a pretty dress, be sure to check out the post below:
Winter is almost over and that means time for spring fashion! For spring 2013, one of the most popular trends in dresses is the high-low dress. These are dresses that are cut high in the front — maybe as high as a skirt — and low in the back, like an evening dress. Additionally, these dresses are increasingly common for a formal occasion, such as prom, so start envisioning your perfect dress now, ladies!
As most people know, the object of a prom dress is to be memorable. What you want is a dress that will make a statement, and that has a WOW factor. In order to do that, it’s usually a good idea to go with a bright, vibrant color. Nothing says vibrant like a bold yellow, pink or red dress. After all, you don’t want to simply blend into the background — you want to shine!
If you’re wondering where you can find a unique selection of high-low dresses for your special occasion, consider David’s Bridal. Known for their vast collection of wedding dresses, David’s Bridal also offers a prom and cocktail dress collection that features high-low dresses, short dresses and long gowns!
There are distinct practical advantages, rather than just fashionable ones, to wearing a high-low dress during the springtime. As you’ve probably already discovered on your own, spring temperatures seem to change all the time (especially in the South!) This sort of weather creates problems if you want to wear a shorter dress or skirt. However, a high-low dress gets rid of that problem by not allowing the chilly air to cut through to your legs, like a shorter dress would.
Take Victoria Justice at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards. Her flirty high-low dress is a perfect example of a look that can transition from daytime to prom! The high neckline and belt add a touch of sophistication to the flowy, printed dress and she is still able to pull of a cool pair of pumps. I would definitely recommend this look for spring!
