Why Should I Go For New 2012 Prom Dresses?

We already established in part 1 of the top 2012 prom dresses trends blog that older ‘tried and tested’ styles are fine, but not original and could lead to you rolling up in the same or similar prom dress to another girl!

We want you to avoid this horror and so that’s why we’re looking at all of the latest, most original trends for 2012 prom dresses that will have you looking fashionable and amazing in all of your pictures, rather than looking the same as everyone else!

Key 2012 Prom Dresses Trends For You To Target

Let’s look in detail at the last 6 trends you can target and I’ll give an example from OuterInner.com’s selection of 2012 prom dresses so you can actually see the trends in action!

Click on the picture of any dress to go to the site and get further information, such as color options:

Metallic Prom Dresses: Metallic tones are a really important trend for 2012 prom dresses. You should definitely consider irridescent taffeta, which is a fabric which looks metallic and can even change color as you shift under the lights!

Metallics are blowing up on the catwalk right now, so grab a piece of the action to look quite different to the other girls!

I love this metallic prom dress and its layered skirt. Doesn’t it remind you of Madonna’s dress that she wore recently at the Grammy’s too?

Sweetheart Prom Dresses: A sweetheart neckline is certainly not new for 2012 prom dresses, however sweetheart prom dresses are a trend that continues to be strong. Girls just love that strapless, flirty look!

This is a real stunner! Ideal for any girl who really appreciates what it’s like to look like a princess, the pretty brush train just tops off the whole thing!

Leg Slit Prom Dresses: Another look which has been getting increasingly popular on the red carpet this year, leg slit prom dresses tantalise by showing off a little thigh, but look very classy at the same time! The great thing about this style of prom dress is that it’s not quite as conventional as some, so by choosing it you’re going to look quite striking compared to the other girls!

The prom dress above may be black, but it’s anything but invisible! Not only does it feature an epic leg slit, but it’s also liberally decorated with beautiful, sparkling beading.

Tiered Prom Dresses: These attractive skirts look quite cool and different, so if you like tiered prom dresses then you’ll be in for a lot of fun with a dress like this!

As you can see, the above prom dress has a pretty tiered skirt which has volume, yet is very light too! It’s a short dress too which is unusual for prom dresses and another trend to watch, so get on your dancing shoes, because you’re going to be a lot more mobile than the girls in their long dresses!

Orange Prom Dresses: Did you know that orange is Pantone’s color of the year for 2012? We’ve seen a lot of celebrities wearing orange and also accessorizing with orange nails and lips, so why not get in with this popular trend and go with ornage prom dresses this year?

I think this orange prom dress above is brilliant! Not only is the color so cool, but it also features a leg slit for extra impact!

Hi-Lo Prom Dresses: The important thing to remember when choosing your prom dress is to find one that’s individual and quite original. This is why our final trend is hi-lo prom dresses. These interesting prom dresses have a rather unique skirt which is both, you guessed it, high and low! They’re definitely going to get you noticed!

This is a very glamorous prom dress that is characterised by its very noticeable hi-lo skirt that shows off your legs, but is still quite demure! It also has lovely beading as some extra decoration.

The Twelve 2012 Prom Dresses trends You Need To Know About! (Part 1)

Are you going to prom soon? You have some tough decisions to make about that all important dress! However these decisions just got easier thanks to OuterInner.com‘s guide to the 12 most important trends you need to know about for 2012 prom dresses!

Why 2012 Prom Dresses? Does It Make A Difference?

When you’re shopping for something fashionable like clothing or gadgets do you immediately go and buy last year’s model? Of course not!

Who goes into the Apple store now and insists on buying and iPhone 4 now that the iPhone 4s is out?

Well the same is true of prom dresses and there are a lot of good reasons to focus your search on 2012 prom dresses rather than last year’s styles! Let’s take a look at some of the reasons:

You need to get a unique dress and new, more fashionable 2012 prom dresses have more chance of being unique than ‘old favorites.’

You can show everyone that you have your finger on the fashion pulse and weren’t dresses according to what your mom says ‘looks lovely!’

You don’t get many chances to dazzle your friends and date at prom, so by choosing a really stylish prom dress you can really wow them!

It would be a disaster to turn up in the same style prom dress as someone else!

The All Important Trends You Need To Watch For In 2012 Prom Dresses

Let’s shop then! Keep in mind these trends and you’ll be assured of having a really memorable prom like these girls!

I’m going to talk a bit about each trend and give an example from OuterInner.com’s selection of 2012 prom dresses so you can actually see what I mean. To get more details about each dress that you see, just click on its picture:

Long Prom Dresses: This is a very typical choice for prom which is, after all, a formal event. Long skirts have a certain elegance that you lose with shorter dresses and so if you want to make an impact and look lady-like then long prom dresses are for you! Check out our long prom dresses blog to get more information and examples!

This lovely long prom dress is a good example as it’s sleek, elegant and has a pretty lustre to it. Its silhouette will unleash your inner princess and look at its gorgeous train!

One Shoulder Prom Dresses: A really gorgeous trend! One shoulder prom dresses have a real touch of glamour that will help you stand out from the crowd. They’re flirty too, as they show off some skin, without going too far. Don’t forget that you need a strapless bra for this style.

So, the above dress shows off the typical one-shoulder perfectly and you can see that it’s a little unconventional, but very lovely and like something stars would wear on the red-carpet.

Lace Prom Dresses: Lace is everywhere these days, especially since it was an important part of the British royal wedding last year. You’ll see a lot of lace prom dresses this year, and it’s a really lovely girly touch.

This dress demonstrates that you can see a lot of lace on this year’s prom dresses without them looking too old-fashioned.

Strapless Prom Dresses: A very fun and flirty look, there are so many lovely strapless prom dresses around that you can really take your pick and pick up an amazing one! They are especially good because they really show off your neckline, shoulders and upper torso in a classy, feminine way. If you have a large bust be careful not to reveal too much!

Strapless prom dresses are a very popular choice amongst prom goers! This lovely yellow example shows how a strapless dress can perfectly show off your neckline.

Blue Prom Dresses: “Choose any style as long as it’s blue!” That’s what experts are saying this year, and blue is the world’s most popular color so you won’t go wrong with blue prom dresses!

This light blue color is eye-catching and fresh! Much nicer and more fun in my opinion than a darker blue, and prom is formal but should still be a fun time!

Short Prom Dresses: The polar opposite of long prom dresses, short prom dresses are the less serious, more fun cousin of them. Wear a short prom dress if you want to stand out and look different. You’ll also find them a lot more comfy if you’re going to be dancing! More traditional people might tut, but who cares what they think?! Get more info from our short prom dresses blog here.
