Color

Color is the best way to express your personality through fashion. For an event like prom, you want your dress to make an impression and show off how amazing you are. While lighter, pastel shades may create a delicate, feminine appeal, the darker, bolder colors can give off a sexy, confident vibe. Add a little bit of spice to your look with sequins or patterns like floral as well. No matter how you wish to express yourself, every color in prom fashion tells a different emotional story about an individual’s style and personality.

Here are some colors that are trending among prom girls this year:

Vibrant Pink: A stunning hot pink like fuchsia or magenta is a sure way to make a glamorous statement on the dance floor. Pink is often associated with feminine, flirtatious personalities.

Dress Length

Another important decision when choosing a Prom dress is whether you want a short party dress or a long evening gown. Whichever you choose, it’s most important that you feel both stylish and comfortable from beginning to end of the night.

Long dresses are the traditional, formal look for prom, ideal for creating the ever popular fairytale elegance. These dresses come in many styles, whether you are looking for a ball gown, a flowy A-line skirt, or a fitted mermaid silhouette.

Short dresses have become more popular in recent years, and are easier to move around in when dancing. Since Prom usually occurs in the Spring, you may prefer to wear something to keep you cool in the warm weather. Short prom dresses are also great for showing off your legs!
