Who says you need to wear a dress for prom? Not us! Cue: the search for the best prom suits for girls. Wearing a formal suit is a chic, stylish way to do prom without the gown. Prom suits have been slowly but surely gaining popularity since they are a great alternative to the more traditional gowns and minidresses — not to mention an easy way to stand out in a crowd of sequins, satin, and sparkles.
Prom suits are a unique (and comfortable!) choice for your prom night since you can move around easily — and you’ll need that on the dance floor! They also open up tons of styling opportunities, as you can play around with your shoes and accessories to create a look that’s all your own. Plus, when the night is over, you can reuse your prom suit in countless ways by dressing it up or down or mixing and matching the jacket and pants with the rest of your wardrobe. (Who knows, this suit might even take you to your first job interview!)
Suits have come back in a big way with the resurgence of ‘90s style, which means there are many options online and at your favorite retailers, but you can also find some fantastic options at a thrift store near you. Check both the men’s and women’s side of the store, try things on, and remember that you can always get a suit tailored for a perfect fit.
If you’re considering wearing a suit or tuxedo on prom night, we’ve rounded up some of the best prom suits for girls (or anyone!) below, including blazers, secondhand designer suits, and ’90s-inspired sets.
