Choosing a jumpsuit for prom
Overalls became women's clothing many decades ago, but served mainly for work in manufacturing or agriculture. Long years of fashion evolution have led to the fact that this piece of clothing can be seen even on the red carpet, not to mention other less formal events. Graduation is no exception in this case. A variety of models will allow any schoolgirl or student to choose the ideal option for themselves, which is both beautiful and convenient. The main thing is to choose the right style and color for such an outfit.
Style overview
Today, the variety of jumpsuit models suitable for an event is simply amazing. Depending on the design features of sewing and decorative elements, they can be divided into two main types.
Trouser
Such overalls in their lower part suggest the presence of trousers of various lengths. It can be as wide palazzo trousers, reminiscent of a long skirt, and tight pipes to the ankle.
Jumpsuit dress
In this case, the trousers of the jumpsuit are complemented by a skirt. It can be either sewn to the top or act as a cape, which is worn over trousers or shorts. The model can resemble a long evening dress, and can be transformed into a familiar pantsuit during or after the official part of the event.
By the length of the trousers, you can also divide the styles of overalls into:
-
long - covering the ankles, and sometimes even the woman's foot;
-
7/8 - in this case, the ankle remains open;
-
with shorts - the fabric ends at or just above the knees.
According to the cut of the upper part of the jumpsuit, you can also divide the outfits into several types.
With open back
A chic option for hot summer days, which are most often prom nights. Unfortunately, this option is suitable only for young girls or owners of modest breast sizes, since it will not work to wear a bra with such a jumpsuit.
High-waisted
Such models look great on both children and young girls, emphasizing their youth. In addition, the wide trousers of such an elegant jumpsuit will perfectly hide small problem areas, and will not constrain the naturalness of movements, unlike fluffy corset dresses.
With asymmetrical cut
An option for brave girls who like to be in the spotlight.
Unusual cutouts or the complete absence of one of the sleeves is a good option for a festive outfit.
A significant role is played by the cut and the presence of the sleeves themselves, on which the style of the jumpsuit at the prom also depends.
Strapless
The classic option for a festive outfit is the absence of any straps and sleeves. In this case, the line of the collarbones and shoulder remains open, which gives young girls special tenderness and fragility.
With one or two straps
For those who value comfort more, stylish models with shoulder straps or two regular straps are suitable. In this case, the upper part of the jumpsuit does not have to be periodically checked and corrected so that it stays in place, and the shoulders and neck remain practically open.
With sleeves
The beautiful cuffs on the long sleeves of the jumpsuit and the soft flounces of the short sleeves of the lighter summer models look equally festive.
The main thing is that the sleeve fits the length of the graduate, is not taut due to lack of length and does not hang due to excess.
Festive outfits involve a greater number of decorative elements, so girls can freely choose models with different cutouts, draperies, or, for example, with a peplum. However, it is worth remembering that the abundance of flounces and ruffles look good only on very slender and tall girls.
Color palette
When choosing an outfit for prom, first of all, they pay attention not so much to the style as to the color of the jumpsuit. Of course, classic black and white always look a win-win, but young graduates can afford almost any color.
Solid color jumpsuits
For graduates of both 11 and 9, and 4 grades, monochromatic options are perfect. These can be muted pastel colors, for example, dusty pink or pale blue, or bright flashy shades of red, purple or emerald.
So that such an image does not look too strict, you can beat it with bright accessories or an unusual cut.
Multicolored or printed
The leopard and zebra, which have already become classics, or more modern geometric patterns are an excellent option for a prom, not only for the schoolgirl herself, but also for her mother. In this case, it is best to dwell on a more strict and elegant cut and a minimum of jewelry. The bright pattern will take all the attention.
With decorative inserts
Mesh, rhinestones, beads, chains and even feathers - any of these elements will look appropriate on a graduate's overalls if they are selected with taste... In those cases, if you did not manage to find the desired outfit on sale, but you just want lace sleeves or beautiful pearl trim, you can contact an atelier or a private seamstress and create an individual outfit according to your measurements, taking as a basis any suitable style.
Nuances of choice
Before choosing the perfect prom outfit, you need to decide on three main nuances: age, figure and place of celebration.
Age
Children's jumpsuit styles will look strange on teenagers, and vice versa. The older the girl, the more strict and restrained the cut should be, but at the same time, the more bold and frank decorative elements an outfit can admit... It is better to leave the abundance of ruffles and flounces to little girls, but an elegant neckline or an open back is an excellent choice for graduating from school walls.
Figure
Unfortunately, a jumpsuit is an outfit for tall ladies. Even models of large sizes look good on girls taller than 170 cm. Owners of a modest bust will like models with draperies on their breasts, and a small tummy will hide a properly cut peplum or flying style.
Venue of the event
In a cafe or restaurant, you can choose any style of jumpsuit, but when holding a prom in the open air, you should worry about the weather forecast in advance. Long sleeves in the heat or short, blown shorts on a cloudy day can spoil the mood of even a gold medalist.
How to complement the image?
Over the jumpsuit, you can safely wear a light jacket or a flying cape made of the same fabric. If the room is hot, they are always easy to remove and hang on a chair hanger. A small neat handbag in which you can put your phone or lipstick, or a bright clutch bag on a chain will also perfectly complement the look.
The strict cut of the fitted jumpsuit will perfectly dilute the bright belt and sandals. Beautiful curls or sharp bob lines will also perfectly complement even the most classic monochromatic outfit. The line of open shoulders will be gently emphasized by a bun or shell hairstyle. It is best for young girls to adhere to minimalism in makeup, but jewelry in the form of earrings, chains and rings can be large and catchy.
Beautiful examples
The prom jumpsuit can even be classic black, but it is not boring at all. For example, an elegant version with lace or a very festive outfit with wide flowing trousers will suit both skinny and overweight girls.
An unusual choice of fabric, such as denim, silk, or plush, is a great option for a little graduation jumpsuit. You can complement the look with comfortable sandals and a small straw hat so that the summer sun does not bake your child's head.
Rhinestones, sequins, sequins and even stones - all this cannot be worn in everyday life, but it is great for prom. The main thing is not to turn into something like a New Year tree. Let there be not too much decoration, but it will be of high quality.
