Prom in hot weather is a vibe. You just have to be prepared for the heat. And for the most New Yorkers, wearing black prom dresses– eveni on the hot days is a non-negotiable.
But there is an obvious problem: black absorbs more hear than lighter colors. So, how do New Yorkers do it? We asked NYC-based stylists & consultants for their go-to tips for wearing black dress for prom in warm weather. The answer is all about fabric and silhouette.
