What defines a prom dress?

Traditionally, a prom dress (or evening dress as it can also be called) is a foot-long and extra fancy type of dress, but today a prom dress can look exactly as you want i to. The only thing that matters is choosing a prom dress that you feel good in, and that is suitable for the party you are attending.

When do I wear a prom dress?

When it’s time for prom, of course! Graduation prom, christmas prom or a gala of any kind. Also when you have received an invitation with the dress code Black Tie or Lounge Suit. But do you know what the best thing is? That you can actually wear a prom dress whenever you feel like it!

Trendy Prom dresses

• One of the most trendy dresses is actually a kind of prom dress. We are talking about the puff cake-dress! This type of princess-bridal-dress has made its way from the catwalk to the streets and is just as smoking hot on prom night as during everyday life. The significant features of this dress are the many layers of sheer tulle. Just like a puff cake!  
  
  
• Prom dress in earthy tones or ice cream colours. The fashion colors of are different shades of earthy tones, from light nude to darker beige, and of course, a new, fresh palette with lovely pastel colours. Apply the spring trends and choose a prom dress in neo mint, light pigeon blue, mild cassis or fruity cantaloupe. 

Long sleeve prom dresses – perfect for early spring

Long sleeve prom dresses fit perfectly when it’s still chilly in the air or you just don’t want to feel bare around your shoulders. Prom dresses with sleeves also look very elegant. You can either choose a prom dress with long sleeves in another fabric, like fine lace, or choose a two-piece prom dress with a long-sleeved top. Short prom dresses look extra nice with long sleeves as they get a chic 70's vibe, or why not choose an off the shoulder prom dress for a glamorous feel?

Short prom dresses – for that chic look

Short prom dresses look lovely and cute, and they fit perfectly for balls during late spring or summer. The plus side is that you also can use it as a cocktail dress! Choose a short prom dress tailored in extra fine fabric, such as a sequin prom dress or a shiny silk dress. If you don’t want a full-on short prom dress, you can choose a dress that is short at the front and longer in the back, a so-called high-low dress. Or a 50’s style midi dress!

Jackets that fit to prom dresses

Unfortunately, it is not always 20 degrees and sun when you’re attending a prom. But luckily there are some great alternatives to jackets and warm tops you can wear with you prom dress. The most classic choice is a scarf. A big scarf with beautiful colors and patterns that you can wrap around your shoulders when it gets cold. Another option is a bolero. Either in faux fur or some other fine and festive material, such as velvet. You can also have a waistcoat jacket for your prom dress. Preferably with embroidery or other festive details. Just make sure the colors and pattern harmonize with the dress overall.

Accessories with wow-factor for all kinds of prom dresses

Go crazy on accessories with that wow-effect! This doesn’t mean that you have to choose big statement jewelry, there are many options. The important thing is to choose accessories that lift your dress. For a modest prom dress either classic pearl earrings or oversized golden hoops can be the given choice. Bracelets, necklaces and hair jewelry such as diadem, glittering hair clips and scarfs can be just what completes your dream look. This also applies to the choice of handbag. A simple envelope bag may be the perfect option for a classic prom outfit, while a trendy mini bag provides an edgy, modern look.
