Prom Suits for Women
Enter the suit. We’re talking sharp tailoring, boxy blazers and intricate details. Our favorite? This dreamy pink combo. With wide-leg pants that drape from the hips, say goodbye to restrictions on getting down and dirty on the dancefloor. The boxy blazer offers a more masculine silhouette, contrasted with the super feminine color and drip-like diamante accents. Androgynous prom outfits are a major trend for 2024, FYI. (But shhh, keep it quiet.)
Two Piece Prom Dresses
For the individualists. A 2 piece prom dress can deliver drama like no other. Whether showing off a little midriff or playing with layering pieces, a two-piece combo not only shakes up the traditional but helps to dress down a formal look. From mini skirts and cropped blazer to a flowing maxi skirt and off shoulder top, two piece prom dresses come in almost any design imaginable. To dial up the black-tie factor, pair with diamante drop earrings and statement strappy heels.
Prom Jumpsuits
A luxe prom jumpsuit is a failsafe throw-on-and-go option. Whether you’re opting for conservatively covered or brazenly skin bearing, a prom jumpsuit stands out in a sea of gowns. Perfect for demanding attention while feeling fierce, because the best prom outfits leave you feeling comfortable, even when everybody’s looking your way. Style a prom jumpsuit with anything, from flatforms, to cowboy boots, to strappy heels.
Gothic Prom Dresses
Ready to rock.
If your style is a little more edgy, look no further than our range of gothic prom dresses. From black lace, to flowing mesh, to a new take on the butterfly print, add some stellar edge and demand attention all night long. Hot tip: if your dream dress is sheer, grab a slip with a little sparkle to layer underneath. Style with some chunky boots or heels for a look that is truly you.
Mini Prom Dresses
Not a total wild card, but prom shouldn’t translate to long gowns only. If your legs are your favorite feature, rock a statement mini that hits the thigh and elongates the look of the legs. Deliver the sparkle with elevated embellishments, bring the drama with a puffed skirt, or own the dancefloor with swinging fringe that moved with you. Mixing different prom dress styles with your girl gang helps your prom pics to pop too.
Whatever you wear on prom night, make sure you feel confident and ready to party. Grab a glitzy clutch bag and shoes you can dance in and get ready to turn it up.
