Prom is the ultimate chance to slay, and what better way to make a statement than coordinating looks with your bestie? Whether you want to go full-on twinning or just share a vibe, matching with your BFF is a guaranteed way to turn heads. Let’s break down how to pull it off like pros.
1. Pick a Theme
Start with a shared vision! Are you going for glam Hollywood vibes, fairy-tale princess looks, or edgy, modern chic? Having a theme will make choosing your outfits way easier—and keep you looking like a coordinated dream team.
2. Coordinate Colors
Matching colors is the easiest way to stay in sync. You can go all-in with the same shade (hello, Barbiecore pink!) or mix complementary tones like blush and gold or lavender and silver. Want to be bold? Try contrasting colors like black and white for an eye-catching duo.
3. Match the Fabrics
Want your looks to vibe without being identical? Choose dresses in similar fabrics. Think satin, sequins, velvet, or tulle. For example, one of you could rock a sequined gown while the other opts for a chic, sequined mini.
4. Play with Accessories
Even if your dresses are different, matching accessories can tie your looks together. Choose the same shoes in different colors, or coordinate with matching clutches, jewelry, or even hairpieces. Bonus points for matching corsages—so cute for photos!
5. Go for Similar Silhouettes
Matching dress silhouettes can give you that "we planned this" vibe. Whether you’re both rocking ball gowns, slinky mermaid dresses, or playful minis, having a shared style creates a cohesive look.
6. Don’t Forget the Details
Matching doesn’t have to mean identical. Try tying your looks together with small details like matching embroidery, similar necklines, or coordinating embellishments (think pearls, rhinestones, or feathers).
7. Make It Personal
Let your personalities shine! If one of you loves bold and daring looks while the other prefers something soft and romantic, embrace it! Choose outfits that reflect your individual styles but complement each other—because that’s what bestie magic is all about.
8. Plan Your Entrance
It’s not just about the outfits—it’s about the energy! Plan a killer entrance with your bestie, whether that’s arriving in matching shades or walking into the venue like you own it. Pro tip: A quick TikTok-worthy slow-mo strut never hurt anyone.
9. Bring It to the Fitting Room
If you’re shopping together, make the fitting room your playground. Try on different styles, colors, and fabrics until you find the perfect match. Don’t forget to snap some mirror selfies to document the process!
Besties Who Slay Together, Stay Together
Prom is your night to shine—and doing it with your bestie by your side makes it even better. Whether you go all-out in coordinated gowns or just share a color palette, your looks will be one for the books. So grab your BFF, hit the dress racks, and get ready to own the night.
