Is it just me, or are modern day high school prom gowns just much less romantic than vintage prom dresses from the days of our parents and grandparents? I can’t help but feel bored every time I see yet another frilly, taffeta gown and a boy wearing aviator shades with his tux. I’m not even a fan of the two-piece sets, as quasi-unique as they may be.
If you too are feeling less than inspired by today’s modern prom attire, you might enjoy taking a walk down memory lane — other people’s memories, that is. While your high school prom photos likely include a faux backdrop of the Las Vegas strip and some questionable hair choices, Baby Boomers can proudly look back at the flattering sepia tones of their own prom photos and still admire their fabulous vintage hairstyles and retro prom dresses.
Indulge your vintage-loving tendencies just in time for prom season with these gorgeous photos from proms gone by. If you’re going to the prom yourself, they might even motivate you to look for a dress at the local vintage store instead of at the mall.
