Trending Prom Dresses for 2023 Looks & Style Tips

The Color Story: Brights and Neons

There is no hotter trend right now for prom 2023 than NEON – neon pink, neon yellow, neon orange, neon green—and we have all these electric hues. These bright, neon prom dresses are fun and will make you stand out in photos and in a crowd.

Our woven crepe dress in lemon is a popular choice for girls who want to make a bright statement. The contemporary look is designed to show off your hourglass figure thanks to the fitted bodice and sexy mermaid hem. Rocking this prom dress allows for a subtle flash of skin without being overly skimpy. The halter neckline with cutaway showers and the sexy cutout detail distinguishes this electrifying dress and they are the perfect way to show off your Dua Lipa-esque confidence.

Hot for Pink

While we are still months away from prom night, there is another trend that’s here and one you need to start seriously thinking about. With so many bright colors to pick from, none have us swooning as much as HOT PINK! Whether you prefer something more classic or prefer a style with more of an edge, we have so many fun, hot pink prom dress options to pick from.

If your taste is simpler with the right number of feminine details, then we’re certain this floor-kissing woven crepe off-the-shoulder column dress with satin bow accents is a gorgeous pick for you. The curve-hugging silhouette is finished with a deep slit opening to give you a little more va va voom.

If you’re looking for a more swagger, we’ve got the perfect dress for you. This floor-sweeping gown in magenta, the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year, shows off your edgier side with a plunging sweetheart neckline with crisscross detail and thigh-high slit opening to show off your dance floor moves and shoes.

Sparkles, Sequins and Disco

Sparkle is always in season in our book. This halter swing dress with cutaway shoulders is covered with a gorgeous display of hand beading and makes a dazzling option. We love the flattering midi length because the hemline hits just below your knee which makes you look talker and slimmer, especially when paired with a towering pair of heels. We call that a win/win.

The New Neutrals

If you want to play it safe at your prom, selecting a neutral shade is the way to go. Clean and polished neutrals look amazing on all skin tones and don’t take the focus away from you. The one-shoulder silhouette is covered head-to-toe with handsewn sequins and features flattering ruching a wrap style skirt with a sexy slit opening to show off your legs.

The Sexier Cutout Trend

If you’re ready to let loose and feeling daring, then the sexy trend is for you. This sleeveless dress shows off your svelte figure while the front keyhole opening and deep slit opening create the truly sexy finishing touches. We added convenient side pockets to keep your lipstick and your phone handy as you move about. We also love this A-line silhouette because it’s perfect to dance the night away with its fitted waist and flared hem.

The Pattern of the Season

The stunning watercolor floral print on our soft, lightweight woven satin charmeuse dress strikes a delicate balance between a romantic, feminine tone with a vintage feel. This column silhouette makes a beautiful dress for prom because it’s beautiful both coming and going. From the delicate cowl neckline to the bold low back style, this style also features delicate beaded straps for a sparkling finishing touch.
