Find the Perfect Prom Dress in Dallas, Texas: A Color Guide for Your Skin Tone

Prom Dresses by the Season

If you’re looking for the perfect prom dress in Dallas, Elegancia Formal Wear has a lot of designs to choose from. And one key to finding the dreamiest dress design is finding the right prom dress color for your skin tone—you know, that most flattering shade that will make you glow in the dress

Knowing which color goes with your complexion can be a little tricky if you don’t know where to start. Well, the first step is knowing your skin tone. While there are some established, binary guides to check if you have cool undertones or warm undertones, we want to go with the more comprehensive skin tone guide with the seasons, which divide skin colors into four: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Prom Dresses in the Spring

Spring is characterized by warm undertones, with skin complexions varying from ivory, peach, or beige, and varying light and golden hair colors, and hazel, green, or blue eyes. Recommended colors for spring are brown, aqua, blue, navy, dark green, mint green, yellow, lavender, violet, hot pink, and coral.

Summer Prom Dresses

Summer is characterized by cool undertones. Their skin colors usually contain pink tones, and can vary from ivory to pale beige to pink beige. Hair colors are light usually ash blonde to ash brown, and eyes are gray, blue, or green. Choose dresses that are in cool grey, blue gray, taupe, sky blue, midnight blue, cobalt blue, lavender, periwinkle, rose pink, icy pink, baby pink, fuschia, forest green, or jade.

Autumn Prom Dresses
