Color Combos
Pink & Green: These colors remind many people of Springtime and Easter, and they are so gorgeous when paired together!
Gold & Black: If you want to look more sophisticated and have a bit of sparkle while still having no bright colors, this combo is perfect for you.
Purple & Yellow: This color theme is similar to the Disney movie’s princess Rapunzel and is quite beautiful.
Pink & Brown: These colors evoke flowery and earthy tones put together to form a nice palette.
Navy Blue & White: These colors can be seen as nautical when paired, and they are very much summer shades.
Gold & Red: These colors can look expensive and fancy when put together!

Popular Styles-
Strapless: This style is for a more casual look, but is perfect if you want to wear a statement necklace or chunky jewelry! It allows you to show that off because straps or sleeves aren't in the way.
One-shoulder: I think this look is very elegant! The unsymmetrical look of only a strap on one shoulder, and bare on the other, adds detail to the overall dress and really draws your attention.
Corset: This can really elevate the look of your dress, because it is meant to accentuate your waist, and therefore look flattering on you. Dresses with corset tops usually tie in the back, which is also a cute element.
Backless: In my opinion, backless dresses are very simple, yet a great option. If it’s done right, the fabric can look as though it is smoothly disappearing. This dress paired with a hairstyle of a bun, updo, or braid would look quite chic. That way, your hair doesn't cover the back!
Silk/Satin: I've definitely seen this style a lot, and it seems to be a trend for many girls who attend Prom! This fabric feels smooth to the touch and can hug the body like a glove.
Ruffles: Usually, ruffles are seen on fancier prom dresses. Sometimes, there will be ruffles just across the hem of the neckline, or all across the entire dress in layers. Both are beautiful and make the dress look fuller and flowy, adding texture. If you don't want a plain dress, this style is right for you!
