Black Silk Shirt, Black Tailored Trousers, Black Blazer, Navy Heel, Camel Leather Tote. A formal combination for prom in temperate weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
Prom rewards a single strong look. Decide the silhouette first, then the colour, and keep everything else quiet around it. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. The women's read of this day is usually one considered piece with quieter support around it, rather than several competing ideas.
- Comfort matters: you will be standing and dancing for hours.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- Choose one deliberate detail, a colour, a texture or a print, and keep the rest plain.
