Nine School-Friendly Prom Dresses for Prom 2024

Hey Amarra babes! Prom season is one of the most exciting times of the school year: you get to pick out a fancy dress, do up your hair, swipe some gloss across your lips and dance the night away. However, it can be tough to dress up for prom when you need to go to school beforehand, so Amarra is here to help. Read on to discover nine school-friendly prom dresses that are trending this 2022 season!

Short Subtle Sparkle Dress

If you’re looking for a short little number for prom so you don’t spend the evening tripping over your toes, try a subtly sparkly dress. Some styles are available in your neon pink and emerald, and a similar dress is available in a whole range of colors, including ivory, royal blue and periwinkle. For a dress that will make a statement without making you the center of attention, one of our short and shimmery pieces is perfect for you.

Printed Mini-Dress

Not the glittery type? Wear a cute printed mini dress to school, and then rock it on the dance floor at prom. Whether you like the best bodycon style or a flowy, flirty look, we’ve got you covered. If you need something classy and red to make a statement, we’ve got that too – and it’s not as glittery as the one we mentioned above. You could also try an even more subtly glittery prom dress, like this Shimmer Fitted Halter Neck Dress.

Little Black Number

When it comes to wearing your prom dress to school, you’re probably best off wearing something that won’t get in your way as you go from class to class. This lacy little number is the little black dress of Amarra’s collection, and comes not only in black, but in almost every color you could imagine. For a fail-safe prom dress, go for the little black number.

Cut-Out Design Dress

If you want something a little bit sexy without being too revealing for school, try this Shimmer Ballgown with mesh cut-outs – it even has pockets! Made with a shimmer jersey material, you’ll be comfortable all day and night. You could also try one of our two-piece prom dresses with shimmer or a unique boxy crop top.

Low Cut Silver Star Design

If you want to be the belle of the ball and have all eyes on you when you strut into prom, try our Low Cut Silver Star Design. Fitted to hug your curves and flatter your figure, this shimmery jersey gown is full of playfulness and charm. You might need to wear some school-friendly shoes and a blazer, but this one can be school appropriate if you rock it right.

Simple Mini Dress

Want something more lowkey? Try our Ombre Sequin Cocktail Dress – it’s the epitome of business in the front, party in the back with a keyhole accent that’ll show off your back and shoulders. It’s simple enough for school, but glittery enough for prom. If royal blue, fiery red or vibrant emerald is your signature color, you could also try our Fitted Stretch Short Dress with an open lace-up back. Rock any of these little numbers with a pair of heels or Converse and you’ll be the one-of-a-kind cutie on the dance floor.

Puff-Sleeve A-line

A lot of prom dresses can get a little bit too revealing for high school. That’s why we have a collection of classy dresses, some with open backs and leg slits – but an abundance of dresses with enough coverage for you to slip past the principal without any trouble. If you’re the type to wear a full-length prom dress to school, good on ya! You’ll love our Fitted V-neck Gown in the color ‘wine.’

Girl Next Door Look

Fancy being classy? Order our Lightweight Gold Jersey Dress in gold, complete with an embellished belt and pockets! The open back meets in a v-shape on your mid-back, giving it a bit of a sexy surprise without ruining the girl-next-door look.
