It is that time of the year again: Prom. Prom celebrates youth. It is the day every girl gets to watch her fairy tale fantasy come to life. Stunning dresses, intricate corsages, a handsome beau arriving at her doorstep to pick her up and most importantly, dancing! Prom is all about having the time of your life. You don’t have to attend prom necessarily to wear a prom dress because prom dresses work just as well in formal parties so no need to get disheartened, ladies.

Like most trends in the fashion world, prom dresses are also subject to frequent changeups. Prom dresses are essentially like regular dresses with the exception of sleeves and necklines. Opt for a long tailed ethereal number or short and fun cocktail one; prom dresses steal hearts wherever they go. Following is a comprehensive list of 2018’s top colors and cuts that you can use to help pick out your favorite.

Pastel Hues 

Pastel hues are all the rage this season. The soft muted tones embody the sweet innocence of youth and simpler times. Opt for something regal like a long tail maxi dress to live out your Cinderella fantasy or perhaps opt for something more manageable to avoid the hassle like a fun cocktail dress. Add a hint of metallic or chrome to your look for a more contemporary vibe.

Black Goth Ensemble

If there is one color that says edgy and statement, it is black. The dark, sultry, and mysterious black dress is one that not only makes your body look more toned and well framed but it also carries a certain hint of unparalleled class. Full length pieces are just as gorgeous as a little black dress. Pick your poison.

Floral Fiesta

2017 was all about bright vivid prints in the world of fashion. This trend paved a new wave in the world of prom dress fashion. Instead of plain, muted pieces, for those who love to be the life of the party and don color, this trend was the jackpot. Fun, vibrant, and unique, these will make sure your prom is an unforgettable one.

Cut Out Two Pieces

When it comes to dress styles and cuts, the classics are everyone’s usual picks. However, for those who love to bring the drama, there are new designs that will make sure you look like you own the stage. Cut outs have been quite popular as of late. So much that now even prom dresses are incorporating the trend for a more modernistic feel.

Two-pieces aren’t something you immediately think of when you think of a prom dress but their avant-garde nature is what makes them so popular. The best part is that you can always wear the pieces separately. Versatile, modern, edgy, and classy, two-pieces are perfect to make a statement.

Apart from the classic regal floor length gowns and ruffled cocktail dresses, try your luck with these new designs. You might stumble across a new favorite.
