Prom is more than a dance. It’s an event. And while it gives guys a chance to get out of jeans and into sharp-looking tuxes, let’s face it, it’s all about the dress! Below are three looks that will have heads turning and girls feeling confident and comfortable as they dance the night away!
in bloom
Go big with the floral trend in oversized blooms. The cutouts in the bodice make it hip and fresh. Add a youthful edge with big ear crawlers.

short & sassy
Going short is not so much a ‘trend’ anymore—the cocktail dress has found a place to stay at the big dance. Get noticed in a bright color, and jazz it up with fun shoes and bold jewelry.

classic with a pop
