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"?

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.
