Dress Code -
- Dresses: Long gowns are the traditional choice, but knee-length dresses can also be appropriate if they are elegant and formal. Choose a dress that complements your style and makes you feel confident.
- Colors and Patterns: Almost any color is acceptable, but it's wise to avoid anything too casual or overly flashy. Classic colors like black, navy, red, or pastels are popular choices.
- Accessories: Keep accessories elegant and minimal. A nice pair of earrings, a necklace, or a bracelet can complement your outfit without overwhelming it.
- Shoes: Opt for formal shoes such as heels, dressy flats, or maybe sneakers. Ensure they are comfortable enough to wear throughout the evening.
- Suits or Tuxedos: A classic suit or tuxedo is a staple for prom. Choose something that fits well and makes you feel confident. Black, navy, or charcoal gray are timeless options.
- Shirts and Ties: A crisp, white dress shirt is a safe choice. Add a tie or bowtie that matches or complements your date's attire or your own personal style.
- Accessories: Consider adding a pocket square or cufflinks for a touch of sophistication.
- Modesty: Clothing without obscene, profane, or provocative language or imagery. Clothing not advertising drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. Clothing that is not overly revealing or tight-fitting. Clothing that could not be considered gang-related. Clothing that is not excessively baggy or torn. Clothing that could not be considered unsafe for the school environment (e.g., cleats, flip-flops)
- Comfort: While looking great is important, comfort should not be overlooked. Choose fabrics and styles that allow you to move freely and enjoy the evening.
- Theme: This year's theme is The Great Gatsby! Feel free to wear an outfit that aligns with this theme or wear your personally designed prom outfit!
