With the unfortunate trend in slutty prom dresses, an unlikely savior has come in to bring class and grace back to the storied high school event. Forever 21 spent the past year expanding their reach into cosmetics and children’s clothes, but their latest collection of prom dresses really deserves a bit of applause. Where some 17-year-old girls will show up to their proms dressed in cut out gowns and trashy numbers, Forever 21 wants to outfit girls in decadent designs inspired by the 1920s and The Great Gatsby era. A selection of “boutique dresses” from the fast fashion brand includes embellished numbers, flowing designs, and delicate details to help girls stand out amidst the generic strapless dresses and halter designs. The best part is that these dresses are totally reasonable, ranging in price from $27-$40, making each perfect for a night out on the town as well as an evening of prom perfection. [The Skinny]
