Shades of Red: Find Your Perfect Hue

With so many shades of red to choose from, there’s a perfect hue for everyone. Whether you love a bold, eye-catching red or a deep, dramatic shade, finding the right tone will complement your natural beauty and embolden your personal style. Here are some tips for you to bear in mind:

  • Light Red Prom Dresses - playful and energetic, lighter red prom dresses are perfect if you’re looking for a fresh, chic vibe. Cherry red and scarlet bring out a vibrant, electric feel immediately catching the eye. If you prefer something softer, rose or blush-toned reds offer a romantic and delicate touch, perfect for a classic prom night look.
  • Dark Red Prom Dresses - burgundy and deep wine tones offer a touch of mystery and sophistication, creating an elegant, refined look. Merlot delivers a rich, regal feel, while cranberry red offers a balance between boldness and depth. For a luxe, old-Hollywood effect, try a dark, ruby red dress - this shade glows beautifully under soft lighting and looks stunning in satin or velvet fabrics.

Need help choosing the perfect shade for your skin tone? Try the white paper test! Hold a plain white sheet of paper up to your neck and chest in natural light. If your skin appears rouged next to the paper, you have cool undertones - shades like cherry, merlot, or garnet will complement your complexion best. If your skin looks more golden, you have warm undertones, making shades like crimson, brick red, or deep scarlet your perfect match.

Red Prom Dress Best Friends

Your dress is just the beginning - but don’t forget to accessorize! This is part of the process where you can get super creative with your style and really enhance your overall look. Consider metallic jewelry in gold or silver to add that air of luxury. For dark red prom dresses, gold tones bring warmth and elegance, while silver pops vividly against bright red gowns.

When it comes to shoes, classic neutrals like nude or black are foolproof selections. Or, for a more bold look, contrasting colors can be used to make a real statement. Alternatively, match your dress with red heels for a monochromatic, runway-inspired moment. Top off your look with a chic clutch and dazzling earrings for a polished, head-turning finish. For those with brown hair - white shoes and red lipstick are a total no-brainer for a timeless, sophisticated fit. No matter how you style it, a red prom dress ensures you’ll be the center of attention, and at Terry Costa, you’ll find a wide range of accessories to maximize your perfect prom look.
