What to look for when choosing a prom dress
When choosing fashionable dresses 2021 for graduation (grade 11), you should pay attention not only to designer proposals and shows. The prom dress should emphasize the youth of the owner, her style, sophistication, and also be combined with the chosen image. You need to carefully select accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and shoes in advance in order to look stunning at the prom.
This season, long, flowing models, dresses with full skirts, as well as playful knee-length options are in fashion. Trains and original decor, embroidery, and asymmetrical cut are in trend. It is worth paying attention to the current colors for the 2021-2022 season. Designers advise choosing dresses in the following shades:
- gold;
- pastel shades;
- deep black;
- all shades of white;
- red;
- coral;
- sky blue;
- soft lemon;
- burgundy;
- Navy blue.
Floral prints, evening dresses made of satin, lace, silk, fluffy skirts, A-line silhouettes are in fashion. It is important that the style fits the type and hides figure flaws, emphasizing advantages.
It is worth noting that an overly sexy outfit is unacceptable for a school prom. You need to understand the fine line when open shoulders are feminine and gentle, but a deep neckline or revealing mini is vulgar and ugly. The image of a graduate should be mysterious, stylish, unusual, but not sexy or provocative.

Long prom dresses
The variety of styles, provided by famous designers, excites girls’ fantasies. Tight-fitting prom dresses made of thick silk highlight the attractiveness of your figure.
In the collections, such styles of dresses are mainly presented in monochrome, trendy shades and with a complete absence of decor. All attention, according to the designers, should be directed to the advantages of the owner of such a stylish prom dress.
A floor-length graduation dress for an 11th grade student is especially impressive in the fishtail style. Moreover, this can be either a modest hint at a classic detail of the dress or highlighting it as the main accent in the model.
The real trend of the season has become a fairly large collection of dresses in tandem silk and mesh structures. Here the creative imagination of the designers was unstoppable. A spectacular mesh overdress in all models has luxurious embroidery or a composition of appliqués.
The styles of prom dresses with a tight-fitting bodice and a full skirt also did not leave the collections of prom dresses of the season, as a classic version of a stylish evening dress.
These styles of prom dresses differ from previous seasons by the complete absence of designs and devices to increase the volume of the skirt. Tucks and gathers add a slight natural fluffiness to the models.

Floor-length dresses with delicate lace, a chic train, an open back and in the Greek style are exactly what graduates should pay attention to in 2021. You should not choose outfits in the style of the 90s, they have lost their relevance.
Stylists also advise to be especially careful with white models, they can make you look like a bride. The best color palette: lilac, blue, red, emerald, black, beige and light blue.
If you like creative solutions, then pay attention to the transformer. This way you can change your appearance with literally one movement of your hand. See below for gorgeous photos - prom dresses in photos of the best models.
Prom short dresses for 11th grade students
If many consider the image of a stylish, luxurious lady in a floor-length prom dress to be “heavy” and even somewhat “premature” for her young age, then there is an equally luxurious alternative.
The series of short prom dresses attracts especially with its sophisticated and sophisticated playfulness of models in various styles. In the fashion sector of short dresses, the trendy mesh material is also at the peak of popularity, both among the designers themselves and among young fashionistas.
The length of short prom dresses varies from short and ultra-short to elegant and flirtatiously modest midi length.
It should be noted that, according to stylists, with short-length dresses it will be much easier for 11th grade graduates to create a fashionable, organic look for prom. Moreover, the choice of image can be carried out in a fairly wide range, both of the styles themselves and of creative design solutions for individual details.
So, graduates of the new season can opt for models of dresses in the trendy “baby dollar” style. For a prom, this fashionable style is most suitable and can especially emphasize the attractiveness of a young lady.
Models of bustier-style prom dresses with a short fluffy mesh skirt flaunt seductively. The models are impressively embroidered with garlands of flowers, twigs or butterflies falling from the upper part of the bodice.
For those who want to create a more laconic look with a short dress for their 11th grade graduation, designers offer tight-fitting models and models with flounces at the bottom of the dress that hold their shape well.
Little fashionable classic black dress
Classic prom dress 2021 - photos of black dresses with a minimal amount of design. They are an ideal option for sophisticated ladies.
Prom dresses with dropped shoulders
Models of prom dresses with dropped shoulders have become a real fashion trend in the new season. The graduates responded gratefully to such a designer gift, which allows them to look especially gentle and touching, choosing just such a stylish new item.
Dropped shoulders, as a creative design solution for the top of a prom dress, have been actively introduced into almost all known styles, significantly updating and transforming them.
In 2021's fitted, long prom dress styles, dropped shoulders add a feminine, yet slightly grown-up look. For 11th grade graduates, short dresses with this stylish “zest” of the season, which elegantly fits into fashion trends, are more suitable.
Dresses with bows for prom
The designers did not skimp on bows, proclaiming the main trend in the new season for prom dresses (and not only) in the formulation “you can never have too many bows.”
We can safely say that bows are practically the only decoration for prom dresses that is suitable for all styles and looks incredibly organic. This design idea cannot be called a novelty, but in the category “the main squeak of the season” it is an absolute priority.
Bows in the most beautiful prom dresses come in a variety of sizes and colors, matching or contrasting with the dress. It is not possible to describe all the bow options in detail; we will cover them only in a brief listing, both their location in the model and their appearance:
- on the belt: front, back, side;
- on the back in various options, as an accent on the bare back;
- with long ends and short ones;
- narrow and wide;
- flat and curvy, as well as intermediate options;
- instead of the ends, an elongated rhombus, gathered into flounces, as a hint of a train in a short model of a prom dress;
- at the interface between two components of the base of the dress and two fabric structures, for example, an elongated bodice made of satin fabric with a full mesh skirt;
- as a spectacular completion of a creative design idea, for example, a stylish lacing on the back ends with a lush multi-layered bow;
- In models with one shoulder, a bow is also actively present, as a decoration and accent of one single shoulder, sometimes gathered into a ruffle.
In addition, huge bows are luxuriously placed in models of prom dresses, both expensive and inexpensive, with dropped shoulders, on the chest. This solution for the top of the dress allows us to classify the stylish, spectacular model as an absolute novelty of the season.
Feather decor for prom dresses
Feathers in fashionable prom dresses (and not only), unlike bows, carry different loads in models. In some it is decor, and in others it is material for one of the two bases of the dress, top or bottom.
So, a fairly large number of dresses for the 2019 prom for 11th graders are decorated with feathers, both in the form of small brooches and in the form of entire stylistic compositions of them. The photo shows that such dress models may well qualify for the “most beautiful and stylish” nomination.
There are no less numerous models of prom dresses, in which the top is made of various fabrics and the bottom is made of feathers. Moreover, the designers play with the feather skirt, as they say, to the maximum; the choice is simply huge. The models of such dresses vary, ranging from short straight skirts, or fluffy ones with feather flounces, to floor-length ones.
In long fishtail dress models, the tail is made of spectacular feathers. The model is certainly stunningly beautiful, and in different colors it is simply fantastic.
Chic options for prom dresses for plus size people
Today, plump girls do not have to limit themselves to trivial models. So dresses for ladies with curvy figures are distinguished by sophistication and style.
Luxury of gold
Graduation dress 2021 11th grade (fashionable) in golden shades will probably never lose its relevance. In this outfit, a girl can feel like a real queen. This dress will go well with stylish jewelry and stiletto heels.

Fashion trends in dresses 2021-2022
Designers are inclined towards pastel colors, on which large or small flowers can be painted. Also in trend are monochromatic options, which are decorated with floral embroidery. As accessories, you can choose a handbag or clutch, decorated with flowers or in the shape of buds. This fashionable prom dress 2021 (photo) will go well with thin bracelets and chains with small pendants.
Dresses with a pleated skirt for graduation 2021, 11th grade
Many believe that corrugated fabrics are, in fact, the same pleated fabrics that were popular in the early 2000s. But there is a significant difference between them: the corrugated folds and hems are made in the same size, which allows you to achieve a pronounced accordion effect. The most current trend of 2021 is ruffled chiffon dresses, striking the imagination with the play of texture, full of depth and expressiveness. Airy corrugation is ideal for summer - and therefore for prom! For example, in shows from Giorgio Armani and the Nicole Miller fashion house you can see dresses with ruffled skirts, and Ralph Lauren chose to use ruffles only in some elements - sleeves or collars. Light chiffon fabric is especially well emphasized by a print in the form of large flowers, but it also looks very trendy in monochrome.
Soft blue and pink shades
Graduates often choose sky and pink colors for their graduation attire, because they look gentle, feminine, and elegant. The trend for the new season will be dresses with full, floor-length skirts in blue and coral shades. In a soft blue or pink long dress, a girl will feel like a princess, which she has probably dreamed of since childhood. School graduation is the time when dreams should come true.
For those who do not like long, fluffy dresses, designers suggest paying attention to stylish blue or pink dresses that are knee-length or slightly higher. Dresses can be decorated with trim, or you can choose a plain model. Choose modest jewelry, and your makeup should not be provocative or bright. Nude shades, pearlescent lipstick or lip gloss, and delicate blush are suitable.
Fashionable dresses 2021 for graduation (9th grade and 11th grade) with bare shoulders or long sleeves
A fitted silhouette and long sleeves are in fashion this season. They can be translucent, lacy, narrow or, conversely, spherical. If you want to amaze with an extravagant outfit, choose a dress with voluminous sleeves of an original style.
An option for a princess outfit is an off-the-shoulder dress. A full skirt and bare shoulders combine elegantly and beautifully. It is advisable to complement such a look with stylish jewelry or jewelry made of precious metals.

Givenchy, Louis Vuitton
Forget everything you knew about crinolines: fluffy dresses without a waist, models with bustiers and maximally voluminous minis are in fashion.
A voluminous skirt like the one on the Louis Vuitton show will look good on a daring and rebellious look with boots or sneakers. Pumps and stiletto sandals are also welcome!
All shades of red and black
Girls who feel confident and like to attract the attention of others will certainly like the options for prom dresses in red shades. Designers are experimenting with color and suggest paying attention to dresses that combine several shades of red. Evening makeup will go well with a bright outfit, but the emphasis should be on one thing: eyes or lips.
A long black dress is a classic evening dress. This season, the trend is a long black dress with a corset. White gold jewelry, handbags with chain straps, and lace chokers will suit your chosen look.
Prom dress in a minimalist style
Laconic, stylish, plain dresses that emphasize the style, grace and femininity of the owner are still in fashion.
Outfits with embroidery or lace
If you want to surprise with an unusual dress, look original and stylish, pay attention to models with embroidery. Designers are paying special attention to embroidery this season. It can decorate part of the dress or become an accent detail.
Designers use lace carefully, because the abundance of lace elements can overload the image. As a rule, sleeves are sewn from lace and used to decorate the hem or top of a dress. This season, lace details in powdery and beige shades are in fashion.

For connoisseurs of retro style and vintage outfits, designers have prepared many styles of amazing dresses. Among princess girls, a graduate in an unusual outfit will certainly attract special attention.
Ideal prom dresses for girls with curves
For plus-size graduates, we choose dresses with flowing drapery or a wrap; Greek-style styles and high waists are suitable.
Girls, don’t be afraid of maxi length, bright decor and glitter. With these options you will look amazing!
Fashionable styles of the new season
In the 2021-2022 fashion season, designers are highlighting styles that will look especially good at the prom.
A dress with a train will make your look feminine and elegant. The train is suitable for fish-shaped dresses, as well as ball gowns with full skirts. By the way, the “fish” style will be in trend this season, but it is worth considering that such a dress will suit girls with an ideal figure.
Dresses with a neckline are a win-win option for an evening look. But you need to be careful with the neckline, because you are going to a school party, where you should not look too vulgar. The neckline goes well with a long floor-length skirt.
Dresses with a crop top are also trending, which look a little daring, but very feminine.
For full
Finding the perfect dress for a girl with significant advantages at first glance seems like a difficult task. This is not true if you know the features of your figure and some of the secrets of stylists.
Both short and long dresses are suitable for plus size women. A classic, floor-length dress will hide the flaws of the silhouette and emphasize the advantages. Try on models in Greek or Empire style with a high waist and a skirt that diverges from the bust.
You can choose a fish dress, but with a skirt starting from the middle of the thigh, and not from the knee. A midi cocktail dress is an excellent model for noticeable girls. A tandem with an asymmetrical hem, torn, uneven edges will provide a stylish, bright look.
Models with vertical inserts will look charming. Don't give up on lace: on a loose-fitting hem, it will distract attention from problem areas.
Design tips
Of course, you need to follow fashion, but do not forget that the dress should ideally suit your image and body type. Even the most fashionable dress will spoil the impression if it fits poorly and shows flaws in appearance.
If your legs are not completely straight or full, you should not choose a short outfit or a dress with a slit. A skirt that is too full will turn you into a cartoon princess from a children's cartoon.
A bad choice would be dresses with a deep neckline, transparent fabric, or a large neckline. Such styles are not suitable for graduates, because a school ball is a celebration of youth, and not a party in a nightclub.
The A-line silhouette will always look fashionable and stylish. If you choose a dress with a print, the ideal option would be small flowers on a pastel background.
Thin girls need to emphasize their fragility and elegance, and plus-size graduates need to focus on smooth lines and chic shapes. Overweight girls should not hide their luxurious bodies in baggy outfits. It is better to choose a dress that will highlight your strengths and hide your figure’s flaws.
Dresses for 11th grade
Dresses for senior class can be different, the only thing worth remembering is that it should not be too short. Otherwise, a lot is allowed, it all depends on your taste and style.
Traditionally, elegant outfits are popular: medium and long models with a fitted or straight silhouette. Translucent fabrics are very popular now, so the dress can have such finishing - an overskirt, transparent inserts, and so on.
Try to avoid too deep necklines and high slits. The most fashionable now are boat necklines, open top dresses, and models with small sleeves. But if the weather is cool outside, then you can use long sleeves.
Nowadays, lace trim is popular; the style can be regular or flared.
A fashionable novelty can be called a high waist. Such dresses look good on both slender and plump girls, so you can choose this style regardless of your build. The skirt of the dress can be straight or slightly flared.
A variety of shades are relevant. The palette for grade 11 offers a very wide range of colors, among which pastel and bright colors are the leaders. The red palette is very relevant, which includes many options, from light tones to dark and medium.
Designer dresses offer outfits that are quite durable in style, but complex in shade, so if you have purchased a fashionable and stylish model in a minimalist style, try to make it surprise with its shade.
But combinations of simple styles and colors are also acceptable: white, blue, gray, all this is very, very relevant this year.
It is better not to overuse trim other than traditional elements, such as lace inserts, belts, frills, peplums, and so on. It's best to look for something with structural details, other fabrics, prints and beautiful hues.
Midi length is acceptable for cocktail dresses, which are perfect for proms; the skirt can be of any shape, including full. Try to choose accessories wisely, without overloading the ensemble with them; they should match the style of the dress.
