What Type of Prom Dress Should You Wear?

Chances are, if you’ve waited until the last minute to start shopping, you don’t have a lot of time to search through all the different styles. But we’re here to help you make a decision and save you time.

We have a huge selection of prom dresses, with many coming in different shapes, cuts, and styles. These include A-line styles, fitted dresses, ballgowns, and mermaid prom dresses.

When it comes to choosing the right prom dress, make sure you know your body type. Why? Because choosing a dress that complements your silhouette makes for the perfect fit.

On the other hand, if the theme of your prom is laid-back and semi-formal, then a dark or boldly colored short cocktail dress would be more appropriate. While pastel-colored dresses work great for an afternoon event, darker color dresses and heavier fabrics are usually worn during after-hours events, such as a prom.

Which Prom Dress is Best for Your Body Type?

While it’s natural for you to want to look smoking hot on your prom night to impress your bae, you definitely don’t want your mom to start acting like a total Karen because your prom dress is too revealing. That’s why it’s smart to choose a prom dress that enhances your unique curves without showing too much.

Petite Body Types

If you are petite, it’s best to choose a prom dress that elongates your figure. Shorter prom dresses with V-necks and pleats look amazing on petite girls.

Hourglass Shapes

If you have a natural hourglass shape, you’ll want to choose a dress that brings out your waistline. Fitted dresses with a belted waist and an open neckline would look totally fire on you.

Slender Figures

If you are thin with long, lean legs, mermaid-sheathed dresses or dresses with ruffles and a sweetheart neckline will bring out curves that you didn’t even know you had!

In the end, you should choose the prom dress style that you have totally fallen in love with and will feel most comfortable wearing. This is where online browsing and shopping come in to help you decide on your favorite prom dress style.
