Classic Prom Dresses

43 items

Hepburn, Marilyn, Beyonce, Colette. Classic prom dress styles from Colette by Daphne are inspired by the glamorous looks, and the icons that wore them, seen on the red carpet throughout the years, decades and centuries -- roaring '20s to roaring '20s, baby. The 16th century Victorian era brings us sleeveless dresses with venice lace, while old Hollywood glitz and glam romanticizes a one-shoulder or strapless neckline on a soft satin, mikado or shimmer stretch sheath gown with a natural waist, high thigh slit and sweep train. Classic prom dresses from Colette by Daphne are for the girl that wants a prom dress she could've rocked at Gatsby's party and one that will still be in style to party with the Jonas Brothers in the year 3000.

What defines a classic prom dress?

A classic prom dress style is one that can be work throughout decades. The style transcends generations, from roaring '20s to roaring '20s. A classic prom dress can occasionally be defined as a "vintage dress", and hey, it could even be a solid, vintage find, but if it's a classic dress, you'll be able to rock it without feeling like you've gone through a blast to the past. There are a couple key factors that keep an evening gown classic - in the spring 2022 collection from Colette for Mon Cheri, you can find the plunging V-neck, sleeveless matte satin A-line gown paired with a natural waist and unique details you won't find anywhere else. These are classic, timeless silhouettes and styles that don't push anything too trendy and are sure to stand out yesterday, today and tomorrow.

 

What are other key styles that keep a prom dress style "classic"?

A perfect example of a classic prom dress is style #CL12023. The ball gown silhouette is a timeless look of the ages, and the simple scoop neckline and natural waist, you can pair the dress with whatever the accessory, hairstyle or shoe trend is. You can also find classic style in style #CL12030, with the fit and flare silhouette, stretch satin fabric and thigh high slit. A look that can be rocked decade to decade is in style #CL12076 - a strapless mikado ball gown with a straight neckline, natural waist, lace up back and full skirt. It's a classic look that'll never go out of style.

 

How to style a classic prom dress:

The beauty of classic prom dresses is the style is moldable and can adapt to whatever fashion-forward, trendy look you're trying to capitalize on. The simple structure of timeless style of each dress allows you to dress it up or play it down in whatever way you like. If you want old Hollywood glamour, you can add pearls and a shaw to a simple, timeless fit and flare silhouette and scoop neckline. Go with a woodstock, hippie, easy going vibe with a middle part and flower crown while wearing the plunging V-neck and halter top of fit and flare style #CL21928.

 

Just like the classic prom dresses from Colette for Mon Cheri, you'll never go out of style.
