Ladies, the moment you’ve been waiting for all year has finally arrived. Ok, it’s not here yet, but a girl’s gotta be prepared. It’s officially time to start shopping for your prom dress!!! We know your Pinterest board is already starting to take shape; now all that’s left to do is come on in and try on those dresses IRL. But, before you do, we did a deep dive on what will be trending on the dance floor this year…
Basque Waist Corsets

Corsets have been a thing for a while now, but this year we’re seeing more and more girls looking for ornate corsets that do a slight dip right in the front at the waist. These beauties are known as “basque waist” corsets. They’re super flattering, and the boning provides a lot of support so you can dance the night away worry-free.
Bold Prints

Whether it’s an abstract watercolor ombre or an ornate deco-inspired motif, prints are trending. Now prints can really be hit or miss; that’s why our buyers are super selective when they’re picking the dresses we should carry here at Savvi. If you’re normally not a print person but you want to try the trend, we’d recommend baby steps, like a monochromatic print or a floral print that is a little more understated.
Leg Moments

We’re partial to floor-length dresses for prom. So you’re in luck! This year, we have so many gorgeous dresses with dramatic thigh-high splits that allow for a surprise leg moment. The best part is that you get to show off those shoes that you’ve been saving up for!
Cutouts

From backless lace-up numbers to contouring cut-outs along the waist, there are plenty of fun, tasteful ways to show a little skin this prom season. Most of our cut-out dresses have sheer mesh that allows for coverage and support while still giving you the look you’re going for.
What Color Should You Choose?
We’re sure you’ve seen the reels of people getting color analysis done, but we don’t all have disposable time or income to have a professional tell us what our “season” is. Luckily, we came across this simple cheat sheet!

Just put your finger in the middle of your screen and see which side makes your skin tone pop. Once you know whether you’re a warm tone or a cool tone, that will make your decision about color a lot simpler.

Ever since Bella and Gigi were spotted wearing bright green at their sister’s wedding, we’ve all been obsessed. Now, not everyone can pull off lime green, but don’t worry, we have plenty of other options, like this stunning emerald!
Neutrals: Brown, Tan, Beige, Black

Barely-there dresses featuring tones that seem to blend with your skin are super in, especially if you let the styling lean toward boho with beachy waves and sandals. The trick is finding a dress that looks like an extension of you; think fitted silhouettes and slinky fabrics.
Yellow

There is something about this color that just makes us so happy, especially a rich marigold hue. And let’s not forget the viral butter yellow that everyone is still crushing on!
Deep Red

This is a color that truly never goes out of style, and, in the right tone, looks good on absolutely everyone. The best part about a deep red dress is that the styling is super simple. Just a sleek updo, a red lip, and you’re done!
