South of the Border | School Formal Looks @ 4:20 PM
School formals are one of the most anticipated events of the school year. Where will it be, who will I go with and WHAT WILL I WEAR? Styling yourself for your formal doesn't have to be a nightmare, all you have to do is go with your gut and stick to your style. Don't worry about the rule book, rules are meant to be broken, if you aren't into heels, don't wear them! Aren't into dresses? Wear shorts or a play suit.
Choosing your out-fit for your formal should be all about you and what makes you feel special, pretty and ah-mazing! It also doesn't have to be a one wear wonder, collecting dust in your wardrobe for years to come. Below we show you how to transform your formal look into styles you can wear on the street! Imagine how much easier it will be to convince mum to buy if you can wear it more than once.
Our painstakingly hand beaded Mayan dress looks effortlessly cool with a simple pair of heels and is easily translated into street style by throwing on a t-shirt and sneakers.
Looking for the perfect long dress for your formal, we love the pretty detail in the back of ?? dress, transform it for the street with our yeti vest, boots and hat.
To avoid every girls worst formal nightmare, turning up in the same dress as someone else, The Border has created an ingenious Formal Register. Buy one of our Border branded dresses and you will go onto our register ensuring no other girl at your school will be wearing the same dress!
Hair plays a big part in the success of your formal look, keep it young, fresh and soft and you can't go wrong. The hot tip from our formal girls is to wear it up for a long lasting style that will always look perfect in photos.
ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE CUSTOMERS Yasmin Keers suggests that you have a bit more fun with your Year 10 formal dress as your Year 12 formal is a more serious affair. She wishes that she'd gone for something a bit more colourful and fun. Her friend, Monica Pagano, suggests you customise your year 10 dress to make it your own.
So listen to your own inner stylist, take risks and be yourself. Your intuition is your best asset when looking and feeling your best.
