It is any high school girl's dream to become a charming princess that everyone would admire at the high school prom. After all, it is the best chance for any girl teenager to be noticed by the guy she is attracted to. Or, it is the opportunity for two sweethearts to dance to some romantic music and feel that they are the Prince and Princess, dancing in happiness amid their royal ball guests. Regardless of whether you will dance with the guy you love or not, always remember an important thing when attending and dancing in a prom: the night wouldn't be perfect if you aren't wearing the right shoes. Like hairstyles, shoes are often chosen after you've decided on what prom dress to wear. Using your prom dress as basis when choosing footwear will help you choose a matching pair of shoes that would make your outfit look more dazzling. Choosing shoes for a prom is not all about finding a cute color and making sure that it's heel is at least 3 inches in height. It has to perfectly blend with your prom dress for you to get a smashing style effect. Here are a few tips that can help you choose the right footwear while using your prom dress as basis: Bring the Prom Dress with You
If you will go on a shopping trip to hunt for those perfect pair of pumps for the prom, bring your prom dress along. Knowing the exact color and texture of your dress can help you decide at first glance if a shoe will match your frock or not. Suede shoes will not work with a heavily sequined dress, while brown leather pumps wouldn't exactly look nice with a retro-colored dress. Having the color and texture of your prom dress for comparison can help you find possible matches and reject not-so-good matches with ease. Try the Prom Dress AND the Shoes On
After selecting a few shoes to try on (yes, we recommend that you choose at least 3-4 pairs before trying them on), wear your prom dress or drape it in front of you while looking at the mirror. Color and texture is not your only consideration. A flat pair of shoes wouldn't exactly work with a gown that has a draping trail. A pair of extra high heels wouldn't work with a mini skirt either. Wear the dress on and see if the length of the dress, the amount of legs exposed, and the height of the heel of the shoe all match up. Walk and Dance in the Shoe
After finding the right shoe (in terms of color, texture, and harmony with your gown), try to walk and dance in the shoe. After all, you wouldn't be just standing all night sporting it. Make a few quick steps and turns, and feel if there is any pressured spot on your foot. If there is pain on your toe or heel, opt for a bigger size; if it still doesn't work, you have to find a shoe that you are comfortable in (and matches your ensemble too). After buying the shoe that you like and comfortable to walk in, use it for 2-3 days before the prom to make sure it loosens up and you are already accustomed to wearing it, thus avoiding trips or falls at the main event.
