Formal Dresses for Juniors

Strapless dresses

These types of dresses can be worn by most body types and give a flattering result. Strapless dresses leave room for the accessories of your wish. This neckline favors big jewelry to help it stand out.  Strapless dresses highlight your arms, shoulders, and decolletage so they require you to love your body to ensure you are not uncomfortable or insecure. They also come in different colors so choose a color that compliments your skin color and matches the event’s dress code.

V-neck dresses

V-neck dresses are flattering since they give the illusion of a longer and slimmer torso. They are made from fabrics like cotton and polyester that are comfortable for dancing, standing, sitting, or any other activities. These dresses are also easy to style and choose a design that matches your personal preference best. They can also vary in length so choose one that you’re comfortable with. Accessorize the dress with ideal necklaces to give an elegant touch to the final look.

Halter necks

Halter neck dresses can sometimes be considered too bare for a formal event but when styled right it is a perfect outfit. Styling a halter neck dress with a belt and a blazer elevates the look to suit a formal setup. These dresses go well with sandals or ankle-strap heels. It is good to note that if you are insecure about your upper body, a halter neck will be an inappropriate choice since it leaves your shoulders and upper arms exposed.

Off shoulders 

Off-shoulder dresses are a good choice for a formal event. They can be worn by most body types but flatter the hourglass and pear body shape most. They add femininity to an outfit and give slender or narrow shoulders illusion. The off-shoulder dresses can be paired with various skirts to create a flattering look. They are also made from breathable fabrics which are soft and perfect for this age.

Ball gowns

These gowns are appropriate for formal events like proms, galas, and costume parties. They could also be appropriate for a junior attending a black-tie or white-tie wedding. They give a princess feel due to their full skirt. Opt for colors that match the event and give a timeless look and accessorize appropriately. It is good to remember that ball gowns can be restricting especially in small spaces so check the venue of the event before settling for a ball gown.
