When you think prom colors, you may be considering the traditional black, white, silver, gold, or anything that really shines and makes an impression but have you ever considered going the bright, exotic route? How about trying turquoise for your 2013 prom night. The blue/green color is unusual and yet so very, very special. When worn, it will make you feel sexy, unique, and it has that amazing effect that all bright colors have; it will make your skin glow and look tanned so you can ditch those fake tanning beds and really stand out in a color that is actually known to stand out. The name of this beautiful color comes from the actual name of the stone that we all know of today. The gem was believed to originally be named Turquie, which is French for Turkey. This color was the richest blue color known to man, ancients like the Egyptians used it for rings, necklaces, masks, and other jewelry. The gem was often times used to good luck, with the notion that it can bring health to animals and humans with medicine men at the time carrying the stone around in their medicine bags. The love of this color is evident today in the current fashion. The color just literally brings life to everything it is on. Your prom is all about the most important day of your life so why not make the night stand out in your history as that epic night where you made a few jaws drop and a few heads turn because you wore that spectacular color. Celebs have caught on with the turquoise trend for quite some time now because lets just face it, their stylists know what’s hot and what flatters the most so lets take a look at some of the classic and beautiful turquoise trends of some amazing red carpet events. Ladies Outfitters is then bringing you turquoise for your prom in the form of dresses, shoes, and hand bags because there is no limit with how you can wear this pretty, bright hue. 

Your prom night is this awaited event that you must be looking forward to for the past few months if not more. This means that you are on the search for the perfect prom dress and shoes and accessories to match of course. When looking at prom dresses, you may be overwhelmed by the huge selection of styles so why not let Ladies Outfitters help you narrow it down to the one color you cannot go wrong with; black. A classic black dress is the epitome of elegance and femininity. Black is slimming, graceful and the best part is that it matches everything! You may be thinking that a black dress will not get you noticed on that much anticipated night but on the contrary, classic black, especially the kinds of black dresses Ladies Outfitters carries will certainly get you noticed AND remembered. According to Michel Pastoureau in one of his academic works “Black: The History of Color” he explains what the color stood for, in short: authority, holiness, rebellion, wealth, and good. He also said that in the medieval era, black became the habit of courtiers and a hallmark of royal luxury. So you see, black is a universally beautiful and most coveted color. The classic black dress is no longer boring and will definitely allow you to shine the brightest you have ever shone on this very special night of yours. We do of course love to take inspiration from many a red carpet event so let’s see how black has worked so well on some of our favorite people in society and then let’s get you all suited up for your prom night in a gorgeous black dress.  

With an event like prom, you want to wear a color that is regal as much as it is sexy. The color purple is not just the rainbow hue between violet and red, it dates back to historic times when purple symbolized an extremely high status symbol and meant royalty. Rome, Egypt, and Persia had all used purple to show off their royal status because purple dyes were so expensive and rare; this is why only the rich had access to them. Purple can come in shades varying from dark, light, pastel, and every variation in between. Ladies Outfitters provides you with all these wonderful options and more, we also have purple embellishments such as sequins, bows, feathers and the works. We know that the prom girl will vary in the style of dress she wants to wear and that is why we offer prom dresses that range from long and luxurious to short and sweet, to very sultry. You will be thrilled to find that a purple dress may just work for you and if that doesn’t excite you, how about making your prom dress pop with a pair of purple heels or even a purple clutch? We carry everything you need to give your special night the royal attention it deserves. Take some inspiration from some of our favorite celebs and see how regal purple can look on you.
