For most Brits, the closest we get to Prom is the school Christmas dance in the dinner hall!  We got nice dresses, sure, but they weren’t full of the tulle and silk that American High schools drown in come winter. But thanks to French Connection we can live out those teenage dreams from now till Christmas.

The Prom Dress is the ultimate in fantasy dress up – black, tight and then a kick out from the waist into a wide circle skirt. Dress it up with the art nouveau inspired Flower Necklace, grab a Bow Clutch, and lift yourself up on Dorinda Platforms for a edgier 50s appeal.

Or combine two trends in the Tallulah Dress – lots of tulle layers, covered in vintage lace. The neck is high, so avoid necklaces, instead concentrating on heavy wrist action in the shape of the Bangle Set layered bracelet look. Team with the Duffy Shoe to channel a good-girl gone bad Grease moment.
In fact lace is the hit of the season. It adds a murmur of sophistication to an outfit, and in black, makes everything a classic.
 
Opt for an all over lace stitch up in the asymmetric Berry Dress or reveal your back under a lace panel in the otherwise demure Crepe Dress, or just go for a lace shoulder and throw on the timeless Cam Dress.
pop dress.
Always wear with heels, and opaque tights. Something your mother would approve of!
This winter, we are all going to prom. Now all we need to do is to get our hands on a partner…
