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.
