Top Dress Trends for Prom 2018

Prom is the time to show off your sense of fashion with a stylish dress. You want your prom dress to look stunning and fit your style and personality. Here are the hottest dress trends for 2018, so you can find the perfect dress for your prom.

Two Piece
The 90s two-piece dress trend is back in fashion. If you have great abs, select a fun and flirty two piece that leaves your midriff bare. This look is ideal if you have an unusual torso length or a big sizing difference between your hips and chest. Buying separates makes it easier to find right size for the top and bottom so they fit you perfectly.

Strappy Detailing
Minimalist dresses held up with two thin straps are simple yet classic. Thinner spaghetti straps are perfect for emphasizing delicate shoulders and collarbones without distracting from the rest of the dress. Multiple straps in a criss-cross pattern along the front, back, and sides of the dress, creates a stunning contrast and subtle detail.

Higher Necklines
More girls are choosing a dress with a higher neckline up to the collar bones. If you pick a high neckline dress, select a dress with a lower back for a youthful and trendy look. Complete this look with a pair of statement earrings and long flowing hair.

Full Skirts
After years of tight bandage dresses and slinky mermaid silhouettes, ball gown skirts are back in style. The great news is ball gowns look great on every shape. Channel your inner Disney princess with a shimmery full skirt that whirls and twirls. Select a dress with a simple top and a strong color scheme, to keep your dress from looking too frilly.

Select a cool silver or steel shade if you prefer cold colors, or sunny copper or gold shades if want something warmer. To keep this type of dress from looking too busy, pair it with classic makeup and hair.
