PARTY & PROM GUIDE 2020
Don’t let fashion
get in the way of
Promgoers put a lot of thought into
who they ask to prom, who they
will sit with and which festivities
they’ll engage in when the prom is over.
Much attention is also given to prom
attire and prom photos. Formal gowns
and tuxedos tend to dominate prom attire,
and such clothing can stretch prom
budgets. According to a CNN survey of
more than 1,000 parents of prom-aged
teenagers, families in the Northeastern
United States pay an average of $1,500
on prom, while Midwestern American
families spend around $700.
While promgoers may focus most of
their attention on looking good, comfort
also should be considered when
choosing prom attire.
FOOTWEAR
Shoes may not be foremost on the
minds of promgoers, but the wrong
footwear can turn an enjoyable night
into one you want to cut short. It’s diffi
cult to enjoy yourself when ill-fi tting
or uncomfortable shoes spoil the evening.
While uncomfortable shoes may
be most associated with young women,
they can be problematic for young men
as well.
When trying on shoes, wear the
socks or stockings you intend to wear to
prom. Bare feet can chafe in new shoes,
so if you plan on going without a layer
between the shoe and foot, invest in
some moleskin or dust your feet with
cornstarch to prevent irritation.
Feet can swell after dancing or
standing for a few hours, so think about
going up a size if shoes barely fi t when
you try them on.
Discomfort may be more likely when
wearing stiletto heels or stiff shoes. Add
height through platform shoes that may
be more comfortable, and choose supple
shoe materials that will bend and conform
to feet.
CLOTHING
Well-fi tting clothing is another way
to be comfortable at prom. If you are
continually tugging at the top of a slipping
dress or if your suit pants are too
long, you may be more inclined to sit
and avoid the fun.
Move around while trying on potential
prom clothing. Raise your arms and
bend down or sit. See if the clothing is
too constrictive or if it rides up or becomes
too revealing.
Layer clothing by wearing a suit
jacket or bringing a light coverup in case
temperatures dip after dark.
STYLE
Many female prom-goers spend a
good deal of time at the salon getting
elaborate up-dos or other intricate
hairstyles to look their best. Whatever
hairstyle you choose, make sure it is
comfortable for dancing and that you
won’t have a dozen hairpins poking into
your scalp for the duration of the evening.
Sometimes it is more comfortable
to err on the side of a less intricate style
so you’ll be more focused on enjoying
yourself instead of wondering if your
coiff ure has wilted.
Prom aff ords young adults the
chance to dress to impress. When shopping
for prom duds and accessories,
keep comfort in mind.
Put comfort
fi rst on your
big night FUN!
