You Are Legally Obligated to Do the Most At Prom 2021, These Trends Will Help You Do It
We've all been stuck behind a Zoom screen wearing the same pair of leggings for over a year now. And as a direct result, you've probably started using the smallest, most mundane tasks (ex: Target runs, family dinner, a trip to the gas station) as an excuse to get dressed up, just to feel something again.
With this in mind and with both a vaccine and prom in the very near future, prom 2021 is going to be the perfect storm for serving up the *hottest* look of your entire life (even if it is virtual). This year, you're going all out, doing the absolute most, giving us everything, etc., purely because you CAN. And thankfully, there are some incredibly over-the-top prom trends that will help you accomplish that feat–it's as simple as clicking "Add to Cart."

Pink Metallic Shimmer Cowl Neck Tie Strap Midi Dress
PrettyLittleThing

$35.00
We're going heavy on the '90s flavor for prom '21, ok?! Cowl neck gowns give you that, but look a bit more dressy than your typical V-neck slip dress. Because of the vintage vibe, this trend pairs perfectly with eye glitter and butterfly clips (an added bonus).

Sparkle Ruffle Tiered Strapless Ball Gown
Mac Duggal

$598.00
I'm so desperate to get dressed, I'm about to wear this to the grocery store. Tiered dresses provide the extravagance we crave, with ample skirts covered in structured layers of tulle or ruffles (sometimes both).
After a year of leggings, my body is READY.
