Black and White Prom Dresses: Always Classic

There's nothing more classic and elegant than black and white and if you're looking for a prom dress in the perfect color, look to these two basics for finding the perfect fit. Black and white prom dresses are always staples during prom season and if you want to find a way to wear your prom dress so that everyone can still see your personality shine through, check out some of our top picks and tricks for making the most out of black and white prom dresses.


If You Feel Like a Rock Star
Black and white doesn't have to be boring. You can get heads turning and feel like you're totally in control by looking for a black and white prom dress that features edgy details like rough seams, uneven layers of tulle, chain details, or even an interesting cut. To accessorize, add your best rock star hairstyle and a pair of sick heels. Jewelry should be kept feminine but tough in order to compliment your black and white prom dress.


If You Love to Be Classic
Black and white prom dresses are always classic, so you can feel free to choose one that offers an elegant cut. Channel Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana, and Selma Blair as your style icons when you shop for dresses that have a little fun with the neckline or with the length. Tea-length dresses or gowns with a one-shouldered design may just be the perfect fit for you. Add pearls, dangle earrings, red lipstick, black kitten heels or something classic to complete the look.


If You're Flirty and Playful
Who said that you can't have fun with black and white prom dresses? When you slip into your gown or dress, look to spice things up with bold colored shoes or accessories in order to show off your fun and funky nature. Statement jewelry, interesting makeup, or bold shoes are great for letting your personality shine through, but you can also consider looking for black and white prom dresses that feature another bold color accent, like sapphire blue, hot pink, or lipstick red.
