So Prom 2021 is all about high slits and plunging necklines but what if you only wear modest clothing?

Let’s take a look at modest prom dress trends!

ROMANTIC PROM DRESSES 2021

The focus seems to be on cute and romantic style dresses. We’re talking floral print dresses and pastel shades – the perfect spring/summer look!

Here’s how to get the look:

• Embellishments are mandatory for the romantic style – we’re talking details such as embroidery, lace and ruffles!
• Colour Palette – For a classic romantic style look, we’d recommend going for any shades of light hues, but pastels and warm neutrals also work really well!
• Fabrics such as cotton and linen fall effortlessly giving you a nice shape but still keeping it modest.

If you want some inspiration, take a look atKeira Knightley’s red carpet looksas her style has predominately been depicted as romantic and classic. She’s all about dresses with collars, embroidery, nipped-in waists, delicate buttons, full skirts, frills and ribbons. All the details you can never go wrong with! If this a look you’re interested in, then take a look at our Pink floral dress with flared sleeves – a perfect combo of romantic flirty and modest.

Ball Gowns for Prom Queens 

Nothing says queen vibes like an extravagant ball gown and thanks to Bridgeton, they’re back on trend. The best part? Ball gowns generally look a lot more classy with a high neckline and long sleeves.

More recently, there’s been hype around ballgowns with pockets! I mean not worrying about carrying a handbag and having easy access to your lipstick and phone sounds like a win-win situation to us!

In contrast to other dark neutrals, it’s quite easy to combine different shades of brown so this means you wouldn’t have issues finding the perfect hijab colour to match your dress.
