How to Dress for a Sweet 16 Birthday Party

Whether you’re in need of a sweet 16 dress for the birthday girl, a member of the sweet 16 court, or a guest attending the party, you’ll want a style that makes you feel confident, pretty, and ready to party. Of course, how you dress for a sweet 16 birthday party will entirely depend upon your role and the dress code for the event. For some general tips on how to dress for sweet 16 parties, check out the dress style suggestions below for each party attendee.

• The Birthday Girl: As the birthday girl, your sweet-sixteen dress should highlight the person you are and your unique style. You’ll also want a dress that stands out from the rest and declares that it’s your birthday! Whether you are going for a simple style with minimal details, a sparkly design, or a ruffled style that just makes you want to twirl, select a sweet 16 dress in your favorite color and in a style that best suits you. If you’re going to be doing a lot of dancing, pick a short sweet 16 party dress that will be comfortable on the dance floor. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a classic pink sweet 16 dress, but if you’re really looking to wow the crowd, then you’ll want to take a look at PromGirl’s collection of dramatic ball gowns.
• Sweet 16 Court: As a selected member for a sweet 16 court, you’ll want to celebrate with the birthday girl in a style that both you and the birthday girl will love. In the same way that bridesmaid dresses are picked by the bride, the sweet 16 court dresses will be chosen by the birthday girl. These dresses are typically in a color and style that will accent the sweet 16 dress. For example, if the birthday girl’s dress is dark blue, the sweet 16 court dresses may be light in color with a matching dark blue accent.
• Sweet 16 Party Guest: Because some sweet-sixteen parties are fancy and some are casual, you will need to check the invitation for the dress code. If the invite is no help, think homecoming dress style. Usually short and semi-formal, homecoming-style party dresses fit right in for sweet 16 parties. With that in mind, go for a short sweet 16 party dress for casual celebrations, or choose a semi-formal dress in a flattering color and a super-cute style that will fit right in at a fancier party. If you know the colors of the sweet 16 dress and the sweet 16 court dresses, you should stay clear of those. Dress your best and have fun celebrating the birthday girl in a sweet-sixteen party dress from PromGirl.
