Prom Fashion for Teachers

Hey there!

I know that you have already posted an article about possible outfits for the Prom.  However, the outfits you suggested were for students.  What about for teachers like me?  Dressing up for a school event is hard for us because we have to look great without overshadowing the stars of the party – the students.  Thus, I am sure that your suggestions would be appreciated by the myriad of teachers in the country since the Prom season is about to begin.

Thank you and more power to you…

Dear Sassy_Miss,

For a middle aged high school teacher, here are my suggestions:

Some teachers tend to be conservative, especially with their clothing, so they usually wear coverups like a shawl or blazer when wearing spaghetti straps or tubes. But blazers, jackets or coats are not for prom fashion so shift into wearing dresses with artsy sleeves instead.

For women who want to maintain a classic look, look for plain evening dresses that can emphasize your curvy figure. Accessorize with a set of pearl jewelries, ala Lily Vander Woodsen.

For those who want a youthful style, flowing and balloon cocktail dresses are suggested.

These are just suggestions IF you don’t want to outshine the students in wearing long gowns. Basically, prom fashion for teachers should not look too conservative nor revealing. But always remember that whether you’re dressing up for a casual event or a formal prom night, choosing the right outfit should also depend on a body type of a person. Para hindi mukhang lousy ang fitting.

Tip:

• Avoid wearing dresses with prints. Plain fabric look more formal and sophisticated.
• Any plain dress can look fab with shiny high heels.
• Aside from your dress, plan on what hairstyle and make-up that suits you. Choose a style that can make you look younger.
