16 Gender Neutral Prom Outfit Ideas That'll Drop Jaws on Prom Night
One non-binary slay, coming right up.
If you identify as non-binary or prefer wearing gender-neutral clothing, you might find yourself scratching your head regarding prom attire. The word “prom” tends to conjure up images of traditional dresses and tuxedos, but what other options are there for gender-neutral and non-binary prom outfits?
The answer: there are plenty. Prom is about having a blast with your friends and making memories together, so don’t feel like you need to conform to typical prom attire or prom “rules” to attend the big dance — you can be bold and prompose to your crush, show up in sneakers or flats, buy your ~look~ on Amazon (!), and depending on your school rules, dance the night away even if you aren’t a senior. So if the gowns and heels don't feel like *you* but you still want to get dressed up and feel glamorous for the special night, don’t fret — we’ve got options.
As you embark on your search for a non-binary prom outfit, take inspo from celebs who enjoy gender-neutral fashion like Billy Porter, Harry Styles, or Zendaya. You could rock a sick suit, a ‘90s tux vest, or even a jumpsuit. Another option is mixing masc and femme styles with trousers and a cape jacket, or a blazer and a skirt. Whether you like clothing that doesn’t have any distinctive female or male markers or prefer little touches of feminine or masculine style, there’s something on this list for you. Ahead: our favorite gender-neutral and non-binary prom outfits.
