The Latest Trends To Look Your Best For Prom Photos
Your Senior Prom is the ultimate opportunity for you to display your unique taste, and prove that you are up to date on the latest fashion trends!
You need reliable sources to not only know what to wear, but also give you simple tricks to help you stand out and get all the attention you deserve. So, I decided to put on my « Fashion Detective » hat and do a little research to help you shine bright at prom. I found some of the best prom outfits for both girls and guys, so you can share this article with your date.
Which leads me to my first tip:
Coordinate your looks with your date and your friend group. You obviously want to avoid showing up in the exact same outfit as someone else! I also think it's important to discuss color choices since you will be spending a lot of your evening side-by-side with your date and your besties. I suggest keeping the colors similar, but different. For example, decide whether you all want to wear jewel tones or neutrals, pastels or primary colors, etc. but vary the colors within that family. If two of the girls want to wear blue dresses that's fine. However, it will look really awkward in your group photos if all the girls are wearing blue dresses, or you have three in blue and the other in a completely different color!
Now let's take a look at some of my favorite fashion trends for prom, and the stores where you can find them!
Dillard's
Prefer to shop in person? Me too! My favorite local place to shop for prom is Dillard's with two Louisville locations, Mall St. Matthews and Jefferson Mall. They have a stunning selection and excellent customer service:

Dresses
Pretty Little Thing :
As its name suggests, you surely will be prom-pretty thanks to the stunning collection of prom dresses they offer!
Pretty Little Thing is an online shop with affordable prom dresses, so you don’t have to break your budget while getting ready for this special occasion.
Cowl neck gowns are hot this year, and give you a look that's more dressy than your typical V-neck slip dress. I absolutely love the color and the frill hem on this one! PLT suggests teaming the dress with some strappy heels and drop earrings, and yes, they sell those too! Benefit from the discount while it’s still on:

Windsor:
Windsor's take on the cowl neck dress is part of their Jordan Beckham collection. The Lola dress features a trendy pleated square neckline with a slim fit bodice, a floor-sweeping silhouette with a sultry high slit, and a form-hugging fit. Available in six colors including rose gold, burgundy, lavender, hunter green, black, and white.
Another look we're loving this year is sequins. Check out the full skirt on Atara. This two-piece stunner has a halter top with sparkling iridescent sequins, and a glossy satin skirt with a flattering front slit. Not only will you be comfortable dancing, you will shine under the lights on the dance floor!
Prom Girl :
This brand is dedicated to making your prom the most glamorous. You can search Prom Girl's online store by length, size, and color, allowing you to find your perfect match!
This high-low V-neck dress in their collection is the definition of breathtaking. The soft satin in bright colors such as UK Blue and UofL Red are the ideal mixture of class and charm, allowing you to make a statement!
Tuxes
The Black Tux
Nothing suits better than a tuxedo. Well, there is actually: A spotted tuxedo. Because a regular tuxedo is just not « extra » enough for this big night!
Break the routine of black and white suits, and get yourself a unique tux like this one:

Geno's Formal Affair (GFA)
If you are more into traditional looks, a fitted suit will make you and your date's silhouette catch the eyes of everyone on your prom night. Geno's Formal Affair has a large selection of suits, tuxes, and accessories and you can even rent online. Prefer to visit in person? GFA's Louisville store is at 8201 Shelbyville Road, right down the street from Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Mall.

Here's another great tip for you:
RENT your formal wear! Most likely you will be wearing a unique suit like this only once, so instead of buying your prom tux or dress, check out rental options.
There you have it, some of the best trends in 2021 for your prom. If you think that each one of these outfits is absolutely stunning by itself, imagine standing next to your date looking as classy as they are. You will be known as the most stylish couple in your high school! That is how I wanted to be known during my high school years!
With the important element of "what to wear" decided, you will have fewer things to worry about.
