Prom is quickly approaching at PV, and many students are in the midst of finding their dream prom dresses. Stores are packed with many designs and styles, but there are a couple trends that stand out and could be more popular for students this year. Here are six prom dress trends that are most likely to be seen and worn for this prom season:
Printed: Animal print has made a reappearance in the eyes of fashion this year. Due to this, it is no surprise that cheetah, zebra, and other animal prints have been seen in many storefronts. Animal print is bold and makes a statement, while floral designs are more on the softer side. Blue, pink and other pastel color floral prints on a dress are all the rage for girls who want to feel like a princess and feel feminine.
Silky sleek: A simple and timeless design that is perfect for a classy and elegant look. Silky dresses are minimalist, sleek, all dressed up. Not only do these dresses look fantastic, but they also provide maximum comfort, with no scratchy sparkles or pokey beads. The silk fabric wraps around the bodice and flatters perfectly.
Ruffled: A tiered skirt adds a dramatic and feminine aesthetic to a dress. It creates a flowing and dynamic effect while walking around. This trend is a classic, and it adds playfulness and grace. These dresses are perfect for girls who want to add volume to certain areas of their shape while feeling delicate and soft.
Corset top: This trend flatters and creates the hourglass figure that many girls desire. Corset top dresses allow for a versatile effect that can be worn in an elegant, edge or sophisticated manner. Tops like these have been seen in many different styles. Many celebrities have brought this trend to light which is manifesting in the prom dress world this year.
Beaded: Some girls gravitate towards the shiny, high-fashion and red carpet-ready dresses. The beaded gowns glisten in the light, attracting a ton of compliments. The dresses allow for intricate designs that differ greatly from each other. These make for amazing, standout photos for Instagram. Popularity has grown from simple to extravagant with beaded dresses in all dress stores for this prom season.
Cut-outs: Body confidence is beyond important for many girls; cut-outs provide a simple way to show a little bit of skin to highlight certain areas. These dresses are often lightweight and allow for maximum comfort with soft and stretchy fabric. Cut-out dresses can be styled to have a bold, eye-catching vibe or as a more simplistic look to add a little spice to a simple dress. These dresses are great for girls who just want a simple, comfy, and cute dress for the 2026 prom.
