Royal inspirations for holiday dressing

Baroque and opulence are your trend inspirations for the upcoming holiday parties. From gold brocade prints, regal red frocks, off-shoulder looks, to color blocked suiting, be your best as part of the Prom Court and end the night with a blast!

 

Gold and silver

 

One of the key trends of the baroque trend is metallic and shiny brocade prints. Pick a classic silhouette with luxurious prints to instantly feel Prom Queen, Prom King  and Prom Princess.

True blue

 

Blue will always be a good color choice for formal affairs. It’s a subtle color that stands out but is easy on the eyes. For added effect, asymmetrical cuts and draped shoulders can make a girl look like a princess, while a blue tux transforms a guy into a dashing prince.
