Where the Prom Night style comes from
Proms, short for promenades, are end-of-year school dances that became a big tradition in American high schools during the 20th century and are now popular in many countries. Choosing the dress is one of the most exciting parts.
Prom style changes with the trends, but some things stay classic: a gown that moves when you dance, a little sparkle, coordinated jewellery and hair styled to last all night. A crown or tiara is a fun touch, especially if you are aiming for prom queen.
Prom dress ideas: what to wear
- A gown that moves: flowy, sparkly or sequined, in red or black.
- A crown or tiara for a queenly finish.
- A small clutch.
- Statement earrings or a sparkly necklace (usually one, not both).
- Long-lasting glam hair: curls or an elegant updo.
- Comfortable heels, plus flats for dancing later.
Where to wear it
- Prom and school dances.
- Formal parties and balls.
- Quinceañeras and sweet sixteens.
- Weddings as a guest (minus the crown).
Styling tips
- Pick a dress you can dance in: test it before the night.
- Balance the jewellery: statement earrings or a necklace, not both.
- Choose a hairstyle that will last through hours of dancing.
- Red and black is dramatic and glamorous for photos.
