Both large and small doses of lace have been a popular trend this year. We’ve seen small lace accents, like shoes and clutches, as well as, full-on lace gowns and dresses on the runways and red carpets throughout this season. So why not let this classic and sophisticated trend up the “wow” factor of your prom look. Dresses accented with lace strike a lovely balance between looking both alluring and elegant. You can incorporate this oh-so feminine fabric into your prom look in plenty of different ways. You could opt for a colored gown with a lace overlay, go for a cocktail dress with lace sleeves or even go for a sheer back gown with lace; the chic possibilities really are endless.
One of the most important things to consider when picking out a lace dress is the color. Black is a classic and stunning color option, just be sure to avoid too much excess fabric or your look might get a little goth. White is another classic color for lace and we suggest that if you do opt for a white dress be careful to avoid looking bridal. This can be done by opting for a cocktail length lace gown; a short dress is a great way to keep white lace looking youthful. Red lace is our personal favorite in terms of color; a red lace dress is eye-catching and channels an Old Hollywood vixen vibe. Along with being the perfect blend of classic and modern style, a red lace dress makes a memorable statement at prom. No matter what color you chose a lace prom dress is a super chic prom fashion trend.
