How to Style a Brown Dress for Prom

Are you going to wear a brown dress for prom and not sure how to style it? Since brown comes in many beautiful shades, prom dresses in brown can be accessorized in numerous ways from simple to elaborate. From hair to shoes, check out these tips on styling your chosen brown dress for prom.

  1. Choose Your Hairstyle. With dark shades of chocolate brown prom dresses that have a sophisticated vibe, go for an elegant hairstyle, such as a smooth twisted up-do or a sleek behind-the-ear style. Since brown prom dresses in light shades give off a romantic feel, try soft beach waves or a curly up-do with loose tendrils of hair framing your face to enhance that effect. For animal-print dresses in brown, style your hair with big bouncy curls to bring out a fun and wild vibe or slick your hair back.

  2. Pick Your Jewelry. The style and shade of your chocolate prom dress determines the jewelry you wear. Brighten up a dark brown prom dress with shiny silver statement pieces, or tone it down with soft yellow and rose gold pieces. Rose gold jewelry will complement a brown dress in any shade. For an understated appearance, stick with studs, a dainty necklace, and a thin bangle, in matching brown colors or neutral shades. To contrast your brown dress, wear jewelry in vibrant shades of green, blue, and yellow.

  3. Finish with Shoes. As with jewelry, the shade of your brown prom dress can help you decide on the color of your shoes. If you are looking to complement the shade of your prom dress, wear shoes in a neutral color -- nude, light pink, or cream. For a bit of sparkle, go with metallic shoes in silver or gold tones that match your jewelry. When you want to match your shoes to your brown dress, select shoes in the same shade. Heels with a bright shade of pink or vibrant purple are great for adding a pop of contrasting color to your brown dress.

These tips on how to style a brown dress for prom can also be used for styling any brown formal or semi-formal dress, whether it's a bridesmaid dress or a homecoming dress. So, consider the advice above, but remember, the choice for how to style your brown prom dress is ultimately yours!
