Time to stop doom-scrolling and commit to a prom outfit because prom season is quickly approaching. 
Fortunately for you, the prom dress styles are magnificent and more inclusive year by year, regardless of the theme, dress code, or vibe of your particular prom experience. 
The most popular fashions always have a strong "go big or go home" vibe, and there are many different sources of inspiration for the trends. 
Even better, any of the most popular prom dress (or suit!) trends may be purchased for around 100.

Suits are in for a strong comeback if you want to "go big"; both two-piece dresses and jumpsuits are everywhere, embellished by pearls and beading on pricey materials like satin and chiffon. Those fabrics are also elevating traditional prom dress forms like mermaid cuts and ball gowns, so if suits aren't your thing, you'll be glad to know. In either case, you won't be able to return home until the big night is done.

The Y2K  is currently taking over fashion and beauty has also gotten its hands on prom trends. Although trends are moving more in the direction of '90s strappy silhouettes, prom dresses will have a lot of Y2K inspiration. 
Consider vivid colors and metallics that would make Paris Hilton, the Y2K Princess, proud.

Additionally, there's a strong "to thine own self be true" attitude influencing post-lockdown prom themes. Want to embrace your inner goth? Awesome. The same is true of retro-inspired clothing, glitzed-up everything, and giant tuxedo jackets that turned menswear on its head. Sequins are being stacked on top of one another.

Following are 10 dresses that will feel utterly modern at prom this year, along with styling advice from top fashion insiders. I'll say it again: they're all under 100. Enjoy your shopping!
