Black

Traditionally, black has been the color of respect. It was worn to classy events to show a person’s sophistication and elegance. If something is labeled a “black tie” event, you can bet formal wear is required. If you want to show off your class, then wearing a black prom dress might be a good choice.

Black is back this year for prom season, and we've got the latest prom dress fashions in black at Prom Headquarters. Our designer black prom gowns include brands like Mac Duggal, Jasz Couture and other famous names in formal wear for prom.

Black is a universal fashion favorite for creating slimming silhouettes. It's a sultry color that complements countless other colors in shoes, jewelry and other prom dress accessories. A black dress will also show off your keen fashion sense and ensure you meet all the formal requirements of your prom.
