The date for the highly awaited night is just around the corner. Prom is not just a high school dance.  It is the event that everyone will have their photos on the mantel for years. As such the most important detail related to prom is the prom dress of course. Every girl wants to look her best on this special night. Some of the common questions are "Will I dress appropriately?", Will I look over the top?". Another question that always come to mind is Should I wear a short or long prom dress?

Both dress lengths have their benefits and not so good benefits. The most important thing is what you picture yourself wearing. Choose what you want and feel comfortable in. If you are still unsure, do read on for the pros and cons for both short and long prom dresses.

Short Prom Dresses

Short prom dresses are usually at the knee or a little above the knee. It is fun, sassy and light while offering a classy look. When donning short dresses, you do not have to worry about the dress dragging on the floor or anyone stepping on it. It is way easier to slay on the dance floor. The bonus part? You get to show off your legs. Short options are usually less expensive compared to long ones and can be worn again and again.  Another benefit for wearing a short dress is that you can also show off your shoes.

Long prom dresses offer a more elegant appearance. Another plus point is that long prom dresses are often available in a variety of styles such as mermaid, A-line, two-piece and ball gown.
