HOW TO STYLE YOUR PROM-SEMBLE
By Style Feed Staff, March 18, 2024
Festivals and vacations may be on the horizon, but for any soon-to-be grads, it's all about prom. Think of the big night as the Oscars of high school (there's a reason why it's the climax in every iconic teen movie), so a red carpet-worthy ensemble is practically mandatory. Here are our tips on finding the perfect prom look ft. accessories, dresses and more.
STEP 1: COP THE DREAM DRESS

Prom night and the *perfect* dress go hand in hand. Not to stress you out more, but the frock you rock? It lives forever (OK, just on social media). Anyway, it's your time to shine, and walking the line between 'extra' and 'elegant' is the name of the game. Color is key for spring 2023, and mellow yellows get top marks. Case in point: This lovely little tulle number – it's practically begging for a spin on the dancefloor 🪩
STEP 2: FIERCE FOOTWEAR
Shoes that bring the bling? Yes, please. When it comes to prom – metallics, sparkles and crystals ARE the neutrals, so these up top are the ultimate south-of-the-ankle enhancements. Yeah, you may want to slip into some trusty sneaks once the clock strikes midnight, but until then, prepare to stunt on your peers.
STEP 3: SECURE THE BAG

Prom bags are way more than just pretty arm candy. They need to tick the fashion and function boxes with ease, and nothing smashes the assignment quite like a handheld bag (a big SS24 trend, BTW). This one in particular beauty is serving overall A-list energy.
STEP 4: UP YOUR GLAM GAME
Ah, the humble headband. Whether you're looking to channel your inner Blair Waldorf (she is the queen of high school, after all) or simply need a showstopping accessory to hold up your hair while you film a #GRWM TikTok, this regal wreath is a BIG mood.

STEP 5: THE ACCESSORIES, OBVS

The cherry on top of a dreamy prom 'fit? Jewelry, of course. Unlike the lucky celebs prepping for the red carpet, a visit to the Cartier vault for borrowed gems likely isn't in your future. The solution? Dazzling danglers that will radiate star power (and you can actually keep them too).
