A true plus size formal coral dress works great if you have dark skin and dark hair because it won't overpower you. If you have light skin and light hair you can also go for orange. Skip orange if your skin and hair fall in the medium range.

Shades of Orange

Shopping for a more orange peach prom dress with a real fashion zing? Look for apricot, carrot, burnt orange, cantaloupe, dark coral, dark salmon, mango nectarine, orange peel, peach, papaya, pink-orange, pumpkin, red-orange and tangerine. 

We adore supercharged tangerine because you get the fire of a red prom dress mixed with the warming tones of yellow. The result: a seductive but bright look. Think how well Penelope Cruz and other Hollywood stars pull off feel-good shade of tangerine on the red-carpet.  Tangerine is a very vibrant and oh-so seductive color if you want to wear a super sexy Prom dress that puts you center stage.  

Can't do the bold oranges that get you noticed in the same color of traffic cones on the highway? Tame down the hue wearing a luscious shade of peach. This mixture of a soft rose and a light orange creates a pretty, ultra-girly pastel that welcomes Spring with flair. What we love is that is a warm pastel that exudes a sweet, warm, fresh and fun look for Prom night 2019.  And did we mention that peach is very girly.

Make mango a juicy color choice if you're opting for an orange Prom dress. Mango goes great with teen-age girls who have brown hair, brown eyes and olive complexions.  The dark complexion and coloring creates a natural canvas for mango to play off and demonstrates that you don't shy away from having a good time. 

Speaking of fruit,  cantaloupe can be magical as a color for Prom 2024.  Why? Cantaloupe isn't as bright as true orange. Cantaloupe is perfect for you to show off your gorgeous tan that you worked so hard to get! When you wear this sunny color, the whole crowd will smile. 

Watch for coral, a light shade of orange, to be super hot for Prom 2024 dresses for plus size teens. The color, a blend of pink and orange, delivers a fashion punch without being too bold. And it signals the start of Spring - after a long dreary winter of wearing dark colors. 

 Avoid pairing shade orange dress with black accessories. Best to go with a metallic like silver or gold jewelry and play it safe with neutral shoes in tan or beige.  Otherwise you risk looking like you are dressed more for a Halloween costume than Prom.
