Prom Checklist


Prom Checklist
Like you, we're really disappointed that prom season is on hold for now. It's time to protect one another by keeping our (physical) distance, so that someday soon we can gather to dance, celebrate and just hang out. And when prom is back on, Nordstrom will be right here for you. We've got everything on your prom checklist: dresses, tuxes, shoes, jewelry, bags, makeup and more. But for now, stay safe and stay home while you dream up an amazing prom-posal, scope out potential outfits and practice your dance moves. (And hey, it's never too early to start negotiating your prom-night curfew!)
Dresses
With dozens of top brands and hundreds of styles, our prom dress collection has options for all body types and sizes—including petite and plus-size prom dresses. You can browse our entire collection online, or zero in to search for a specific style. You'll find long prom dresses in body-con mermaid styles, super-chic jumpsuits and rompers, and short prom dresses in flirty fit-and-flare designs. And if you're dreaming of a dramatic back, we offer lots of stunning open-back dress styles. You'll also find the fabrication and color you're craving, from romantic lace to slinky metallics and from soft pastels to jet black.
Jewelry & Accessories
You can also count on us for prom jewelry and accessories. Check out our sparkly shoulder-duster earrings (especially perfect with an up-do) and our delicate necklaces. We also offer romantic hair accessories, including headbands, clips and pins. And if you need a prom purse, our special-occasion clutches and mini crossbodies will hold all your essentials while complementing your outfit. Then, finish your look with an elegant silk or cashmere wrap.
Shoes
Of course, Nordstrom is the best place for prom shoes, whether you're looking for a strappy high-heel sandal, a classic black stiletto, an '80s-vibe platform sandal or the glittery silver prom heels you've imagined since childhood. You'll also find lots of charming flats, plus (f)unconventional kicks like glitter sneakers and patent-leather combat boots.
Makeup
Nordstrom also has your prom makeup, whether you're a full-on glamourpuss or you prefer a more natural makeup look. When it comes to prom eye makeup, we have stay-in-place liners and shadows, plus waterproof mascaras designed to withstand the heat and perspiration of a crowded dance floor. And you'll still be looking fresh even after the after-party!
Gear for the Guys
Nordstrom offers suits, separates and shoes for men—with styles that run from traditional to modern to unexpected. If you'll be shopping in our stores, our salespeople are ready with advice that will help you achieve the look you're envisioning. And if you prefer to rent your formalwear, be sure to check out our convenient prom tuxedo rental locations. Nordstrom's The Black Tux shops specialize in tux and prom suit rentals with a custom fit—including plenty of big-and-tall sizes.
So here's to tons of fun at prom! Whether you'll be going with your BF or GF, flying solo or making it a full-squad event, drive safe, be smart, watch out for one another, and have a memorable, magical night. We can't wait to see the pics!
