What to Wear for 4 Popular Prom Themes
Getting dressed to the nines is one of the best parts of prom; but if your formal night has a specific theme, it can seem a little bit challenging. There are so many things to think about when it comes to shopping for a theme. You have to think about the style, color, fabric, and so much more! The only good thing about a theme is that it can help you narrow down the selection of styles to look for when shopping. It is just SO NERVE RACKING! The CLV stylists wanted to help you girls out a little by giving you some ideas. Whether you have a prom theme this year or are drawn to a certain look, check out our style guide to 4 popular themes below.
Red Carpet
Feel like a celebrity or model, the night of your prom. Red carpet is as serious as it gets, its where you are the boldest you've ever been! Wear the sequins, metallics, glitters, bring it all out! The corset dresses are the perfect style, show off your figure and pick the fun designs. There are so many other silhouettes to choose from, shop online!
Under the Sea
When doing 'under the sea' theme, you have to bring out your green, blue, and purples! Feel and look like a mermaid with your design choices. A form-fitting silhouette that shows off your curves will work perfectly. For the finishing touch, look out for fabrics that glisten like the ocean; try glitter, sequin or metallic.
Enchanted
The epitome of an enchanted prom theme? Romantic, flowing silhouettes in soft shades like light pink, yellow, and ivory. When shopping, keep an eye out for delicate, feminine patterns, especially floral prints. Go for a full princess-like silhouette, like a ballgown or A-line, to complement the dreamy aesthetic of this theme.
Roaring 20's
Once 2025 hit, you knew this prom theme would come knocking! How to expertly pull off Gatsby-era style? Look for a form fit, neutral color, and excess embellishments, like the 20’s prom dresses pictured here. Perfect for the lace, mesh and gold dresses to come out! The more extra, the better. Don’t skimp on jewelry either; with this theme, it pays to be a ‘lil extra.
