BACK . . .
You can probably picture exactly
what you wore to your high school
prom, and chances are your teen’s
prom look won’t be anything like it.
No more colored tuxedos and ruffled
shirts. And you’re more likely to be
crowned Prom King or Queen than
find a girl wearing shoulder pads.
But changes in fashion are just the
beginning. Before you start stressing,
we’ve gathered all the information
you need to become the ultimate
prom-parent.

Back in my day . . .
“We had a junior/senior dance with just a band
in the gym. No big dinners, tuxedos, limos,
fancy dresses or early morning breakfasts
events. The only thing you could consider big
with this event was probably the big hair.”
