Should I Wear a Short or Long Prom Dress?

Unless your school has a strict dress code, there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing a long or short dress for prom! Whether it's a long prom dress or a short prom dress, wear the prom dress that makes you happy. Prom is changing with the times, so the days of strictly wearing floor-length prom gowns are over. While long prom dresses are stunning, more short prom dresses are hitting the prom scene with fresh, beautiful designs. Sparkling embellishments, beads, and fabrics can all be found on dresses at any length, so you can choose a short prom dress or long prom gown with your favorite features. When considering prom dress length, pick the long or short prom dress that syncs with your signature style.

Some short prom dresses, like fit-and-flare dresses or babydoll dresses, have a flirty, playful appeal that’s ideal for the girly girl. Sound like you? Embrace the look with one of these styles, or opt for a long two-piece prom gown and double the fun. Prefer a celebrity-inspired style? Long dresses can mirror Hollywood looks, vintage and modern, when they feature plunging or off-the-shoulder necklines, trains, and slits. Prefer the best of both worlds? Try a high-low dress that’s the perfect blend of a short prom dress and a long prom dress. Either way, it’s possible to celebrate your individuality in a stylish prom dress at a length of your choosing. With an on-point selection of gorgeous formal dresses for prom, Simply Dresses makes it easy to explore all of the options so you can get your ideal style at your preferred length.
