While a prom dress should look drop-dead-gorgeous, it’s also important to find a dress that makes you feel comfortable so that you can dance the night away with your best friends. The perfect prom dress will make you feel confident and ready to party.

At Amarra, we want to help everyone find a dress that makes them feel excited for the big day. Before starting your search, be sure to check out these five popular prom dress trends that will leave everybody saying “have you seen her dress?!”

Neon Prom Dresses

Move over pastels and neutrals, neons are the new thing! We’re talking bright pink, blue, yellow, green, and even purple. Wearing a neon dress to prom will ensure that all eyes are on you, which means that it’s certainly not for those who shy away from attention. For the past few years, neons have been a versatile trend that extends into all of the seasons, even winter.

A hot, neon pink dress will make everyone’s jaw drop as you step onto the dance floor, ready to break it down to songs from Drake’s new album.

When it comes to accessorizing, try to find earrings and a clutch purse that are the same hue as your dress. This creates a monochrome moment that will look gorgeous in pictures. If you don’t want to wear more bright accessories along with the neon dress, you can always pair it with minimalistic gold or silver jewelry.

One Shoulder Prom Dresses

Dresses that drape over one shoulder only draws attention to your face while showing off your chest and arms. One shoulder prom dresses are perfect for ladies with broader shoulders as it softens the appearance of the area.

If you plan on wearing a one shoulder dress to prom, be sure to pick up a pair of earrings and some bracelets as necklaces simply don’t compliment these types of dresses. A necklace will take attention away from the neckline, which is definitely not what you want to be doing!

Simple and Minimalistic Prom Dress Styles

Dresses made of wildly printed fabrics and neons aren’t for everybody. If you want to look effortlessly gorgeous, a minimalistic prom dress is exactly what you need. These styles include A-line and fitted prom dresses. A sleek black dress with a slit or a neutral-colored A-line dress are classic choices that you won’t regret years down the road.

Plus, when you choose a simple or minimalistic style of prom dress, you can have some extra fun with accessories. Complete your look with a clutch covered in colorful beading or some bright statement earrings.

Ball Gowns For Prom

Do you want to look and feel like a Disney princess on prom night? Then be sure to look for a ball gown style dress. Ball gowns are very fancy and typically have a tight bodice and a flowy skirt that reaches the ground. The most over-the-top, beautiful ball gowns are covered in crystals or diamonds. These are best suited for ladies who love to make a glamorous statement.

Because ball gowns demand attention all on their own, think simple when it comes to shopping for accessories.

Mermaid Prom Dresses

Mermaid dresses are perfect for girls who are looking to show off their curves. The dresses are fitted through the bodice and typically flare out around the knees, just like a mermaid tail. Many mermaid prom dress styles are strapless. However, if you don’t feel comfortable without straps, you have have tailor can easily add them on to the dress.

Mermaid dresses are a safe bet for those who want to make a statement but not too much of a statement because this style is timeless, classic, and elegant. To keep with the mermaid theme, pair your dress with dainty pearl drop earrings and a pearl bracelet. Since mermaid prom dresses aren’t over-the-top, you’ll be able to rewear the dress to future events.
