Adding a touch of elegance to prom
To add a touch of elegance to your prom look, consider wearing prom gloves. The most appropriate for formal dances are opera length gloves. Opera length gloves measure from slightly below the elbow (roughly 16″) to all the way up the arm. They’re perfect for an elegant sleek look with any sheath or floor length dress.
Wear short gloves or wrist-length gloves to a more casual dance such as sweetheart, homecoming, or morp dance. This adds a classic Jackie Kennedy-Onassis look to a short dress.
What color Prom Gloves should I wear?
Gloves should match or compliment the color of your prom dress. If you can’t find an exact match, use a complimentary color such as basic white, silver, ivory, or black gloves. This complimentary color is something that will also coordinate with your shoes and handbag.
When in doubt, choose prom gloves to match the same fabric of your prom dress. Prom gloves are available in lace gloves, organza gloves, fishnet gloves, cotton gloves, and velvet gloves however, the majority of gloves chosen by prom girls are satin gloves.
Can I wear Jewelry with Prom Gloves?
Rings should be worn under the prom gloves and bracelets on the outside of the gloves. There is nothing quite like a rhinestone bracelet over a black glove. A silver rhinestone bracelet placed on top of a black glove really showcases this prom bracelet for instant glamour. Bracelets become alive over a dark fabric and bring the bling to life.
