As spring approaches, we welcome the sun, warmer weather (hopefully) and prom! Seniors, it is officially your second, and last prom ever. Juniors, it’s our first year! Arguably, the most important part about prom is the dress, and as girls are already searching and buying, it’s time to get on it. The beautiful thing about prom dresses is the range of colors and styles available, considering the time of year allows for florals, pastels, and light colors, in addition to the classic black or navy blue. While the stress of planning for pictures and transportation may be weighing down on you and your prom group already, let me help with the outfit! For each dress, I will provide ideas on how you can make the dress your own, and embody the color and style you are feeling for the big night.
Seniors, below is a list of long dress inspiration. Below the long dresses, juniors can scroll for short dress ideas. See you all on April 5th looking amazing!
Seniors
Brand: Hello Molly
Name: Invited Off-Shoulder Mesh Maxi Dress
Color: Yellow
Expanding the vision: The light color in this dress brings an element of timeless beauty. To keep it simple and classy, a nude heel would keep the attention the on the dress and white nails would follow the theme of elegance.
Brand: Lulus
Name: Seriously Sensational Strapless Tiered Maxi Dress
Color: Light pink
Expanding the vision: I love this dress, especially for a prom. It is perfect for spring and the ruffles at the bottom offer a surprising pop to the dress. Pairing this dress with a french tip manicure would keep the classic summer-y effect.
Brand: Lulus
Name: Memorable Entrance Strapless Satin Maxi Dress
Color: Dark blue
Expanding the vision: This navy blue dress will add a pop to your group photos before the dance. Navy blue pairs perfectly with gold jewelry, and the strapless style of this dress gives room for a statement necklace.
Brand: Lulus
Name: All this Allure Strappy Backless Mermaid Maxi Dress
Color: Black
Expanding the vision: As black dresses are not as common for prom, there are so many possibilities for this color. Black matches well with any color heels, nails, and jewelry metal. I can envision this dress being beautiful with a light pink nail and a dramatic hairstyle.
Juniors
Brand: Peppermayo
Name: Sweetpea mini dress
Color: Yellow
Expanding the vision: My favorite part about this dress is the simplicity while still having a pop of flowers on the strap. The detail of the flower also allows for a design elsewhere to tie it all together, like the heels the model is wearing.
Brand: Showpo
Name: Catharine mini dress
Color: Bouquet Di Fiori Print
Expanding the vision: The beautiful part of this dress is the bright pink flowers that contrast the bright white behind them. A hot pink nail would match the flowers and bring the design together.
Brand: Beginning Boutique
Name: Marabelle blue satin mini dress
Color: Blue
Expanding the vision: The satin blue on this dress is perfect for the spring. With this dress I can see silver jewelry, especially bracelets, going very well. The detail on the straps could tie in well with a floral hair clip.
Brand: For love and lemons
Name: Teagan mini dress
Color: White white
Expanding the vision: This is my favorite dress by far. The floral design will make you stand out, however, the strapless cut and off white of the dress isn’t overdoing it. I can see this dress with any color of nails, because the flowers would go well with anything, especially pastels.
