So, how about doing a deep dive into some of this year's hottest purple prom dresses? Below, we’ve compiled a list of top trends to help you find an unforgettable gown for that very special night.

Gorgeous & Graceful

This year’s hottest shade of purple is a delicate, feminine tone with a dreamy feel reminiscent of fairy-tale princesses and meadows full of flowers. Lavender can be any kind of prom gown, from light chiffon A-line dresses to glossy satin mermaid outfits. This universally flattering hue suits all skin types and goes well with gold, silver, or pearl jewelry if you want some extra shine. Discover more in our How to Choose the Perfect Prom Dress guide.

Our tip: Opt for a halter neck gown with a fitted bodice and long skirt in lavender which oozes sophistication as well as sweetness. Compliment these with dangling earrings, sparkling bracelets and high heels made from metal.
 

Lofty Lilac

For those of you who are looking for that little more ‘pizzazz’ in their (purple!) dress, why not consider lilac? Lilac might be slightly stronger (and braver!) than lavender but its vibrant shade will make you stand out on the dance floor. For example, a strapless tea-length dress with a tulle skirt will look fabulous in this bright purple. Lilac is also perfect for things like lace and embroidery. Complete this ensemble by wearing chandelier earrings, an embellished clutch, and nice strappy silver sandals. Do not add much to the accessories because the purple lace needs to be at the very center of attraction while you keep everything else tight and shiny!

A Royal Treatment

For the girl who desires to make a bold entrance, she might want to try deeper shades of purple, such as royal purple. These rich colors are heavy with red carpet glamour and after-party chic. Instead, go for a strapless ball gown in royal purple satin that will create an unforgettable dramatic moment. In other words, this classic silhouette, in combination with its striking color, creates an undeniable chic effect. Explore more glamorous options in our Evening Dresses Collection.

Remember: when you flaunt it off at prom as the special guest of honor, you will be able to take full advantage of your queenly status if you choose clothing that reflects your dominion over fellow students. Wear a one-shoulder dress with slinky lines and draping folds in royal purple for a stylish and elegant look.

An asymmetrical neck is another modern touch while the skirt will add length to your body figure. Further accentuate it with black satin pumps, sequined clutch bag plus oversized rings on both hands; not only do these items match but they also enhance her vampy appearance which makes her outfit very glamorous & perfect for the red carpet walkway so she screams out loud at cameras “Show time”.

Plum Perfect

If you want another option for a purple dress with an attitude, consider a moody plum hue. This deep reddish-purple shade is flattering and looks amazing in luxe fabrics like velvet and satin. Plum is a great selection for both cocktail dresses and formal gowns.

Our Tip: Be sultry but sophisticated by wearing a plum velvet off-the-shoulder cocktail dress that skims your body perfectly. The textured fabric will catch light beautifully, while the playful neckline shows some skin around the chest area. Carve out your own style by pairing it with brushed gold earrings, a chain-strap bag, and heeled ankle booties.

You can choose an evening gown made from plum-colored silk satin material for those proms that have been held outside or during beach parties. A strapless satin trumpet gown with a sweetheart neckline and a dramatic mermaid skirt provides a more formal approach to prom plum style. The figure-hugging silhouette will showcase your curves, while the flared skirt creates a striking hourglass shape. Furthermore, accessorize your look with crystal drop earrings and a bracelet to add more sparkle, and then wear some plum satin pointed-toe pumps – Voila!

Dress In A Mesmerizing Amethyst Color (That Has Lots Of Sparkles!)

If you really want to light up the room, try wearing a prom dress in mesmerizing amethyst color that has lots of sparkles. This stunning reddish-purple hue looks incredible on every skin tone and will make you feel like a total gem on the dance floor.

Bring out your inner diva with this sleeveless purple sequin prom dress which has fitted bodice and an A-line skirt. It is made out of all over sequins which gives it that glittery effect making it easier for one to move around in it without any discomforts . Jewelry should be kept at minimum so as to draw attention towards that dazzling dress only. Finish off the look with metallic heels plus matching clutch.

Our Tip: Select a purple lace prom dress very lightly scattered with crystals for a subtler approach to sparkle. At twilight, when the delicate lace catches the twinkling crystals dotting its surface, an enchanting effect is created. A sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves add a touch of old Hollywood glamour. Meanwhile decorate her by adding chandelier earrings onto her ears; she further piles on the bling in form of statement necklaces & cocktail rings thus allowing bits of silver box clutch along with glittering heels so that she can go.

Styling Tips
After going through the pains to find your ideal purple gown, the next thing is to adequately style it. Here are some tips to accessorize your look:

• Metallic accents in gold, silver and rose gold pair beautifully with all shades of purple. You can use a sash made of gold chain, or use silver hanging earrings that will make everyone notice you.

• Nude heels emphasize your legs and also maintain focus on the dress. They work well with high-low or short dresses in particular.

• Black accessories will provide a dashing contrast to deep purple dresses., picture a black velvet clutch, onyx earrings or jet-black pumps.

• Monochromatic magic occurs when you match your shoes with the color of your dress for an ultra-sleek, elongating effect. Most importantly, pick a shoe that has strikingly different material from the other (like satin heels and chiffon dress.)

• Sparkling jewelry is a serious must for prom! So go ahead and bring on the bling with rhinestone earrings, a crystal bracelet , or an embellished hair clip.

• Just know when enough is enough – one or two out-of-the-park pieces are all you need.

• A pretty updo keeps the attention on your neckline and jewelry. For instance go for sleek high bun, messy loose chignon or half-up style with soft tendrils.
   

• Go for A-line or empire waist dresses in lavender, lilac, or deeper purples like royal purple or plum if you’re looking for flattering prom dresses plus sizes., while fabrics like chiffon, jersey, and georgette tend to drape well over curves.

Explore eco-friendly options
Apart from being trendy fashion brands nowadays have become more conscious about sustainability and eco-friendliness when it comes to Prom Dresses. If you want an on-trend purple dress that’s gentle on the planet, explore eco-options, which may include organic material as well as those made of worn-out things.

They also boast of innovative designers that use eco-fabrics such as cotton, polyester and Tencel lyocell which are made from trees grown sustainably. Such materials have the same luxurious look and feel of traditional textiles but a much lower impact on the environment.

We strongly believe in a ‘zero-waste’ approach to prom dress design, taking advantage of pattern-making techniques that use minimal fabric scraps or making new clothes for 0-waste from surplus fabric. Looking fabulous while saving this planet, is it not fashionable? A win-win situation.

Shaping up the way you dress:

Your shape can look flattering in any purple prom dress and make you feel your best. For plus sizes, a line or empire waist dress made from a flowing fabric like chiffon or georgette would softly glide over the curves. Dresses with ruching (or draping) on the bodice will improve your bust and waist area.

Prom goers who are short can look taller by wearing sheath or mermaid-style dresses that cling to their bodies. In addition, high necklines and vertical details such as pleats or lace panels will give an illusion of height. However, if you possess an hourglass figure, let it be noticed through a fitted outfit that pinches at the waist and flares out into a full skirt.

As you style your purple dress, allow its silhouette to help you decide what to do. To show off your neckline and shoulders consider wearing strapless attire or those with one shoulder; hence having an updo hairstyle like sleek chignon is better in this case. If your dress has many details like beads and embroidery then we advice you to keep your hair accessories simple so as not to overshadow these features on your gown. A basic makeup palette styled with colorful lips or eyes wil let you shine through naturally beautiful.

Real girls = real glamor:

Do not take our word for it but listen to some of these young ladies who have rocked their purple prom dresses and loved the feeling of doing so. “I felt absolutely like a princess in my lilac ball gown” exclaims Sarah, a recent high school graduate “The color was so whimsical romantic; moreover, having on a wide skirt gave me the feeling that I am hovering over while dancing.”
