If there is one trend that is hot for spring it is the fashion focus on short prom dresses. Whether you are actually thinking ahead to prom or perhaps a spring time wedding, the trend this year is to show off those knockout knees. Long enough to just skim the kneecap yet short enough to verge on sassy, shorter styles are all the rage this season.
Hollywood starlets have been rocking this trend for awhile now, but it has recently found its way into mainstream dressing. From Demi Lovato in fun and flirty frills to Paris Hilton in a sleek and sexy sheath, it is definitely true that the knee is the key. For girls with gams, an even shorter silhouette is fine, but most mademoiselles will want to stick with a length that is a bit more modest.
Styles range from voluminous organza skirts nipped in at the waist with a bedazzled bodice, to silky hip hugging dramatic designs. Halters are huge, as are one shoulder styles. With accents like oversized floral embellishments at the shoulder to sequined wide width belts, the devil really is in the details. While longer length dresses tend to be more about the prints and patterns, shorter styles focus on solids and subtle changes in hue. From an ombre print that graduates from black to silver to a light overskirt with darker tones underneath, keep it simple and let the accents do the talking.
Short prom dresses are definitely not just for school socials anymore. From Easter Sunday outings to sweet 16 parties, young girls can capture this trend in fun fabulous fashion.
