Fraternity formal season calls for a multitude of new dresses for your wardrobe. Whether long, short, bodycon, or fit-and-flare, these 10 dresses will help you get started on your quest to the perfect formal dress.
This classic cocktail dress is fitted and shows off the perfect amount of cleavage without revealing too much. It is knee length, which makes it great for those destinations that are just a little too chilly in March. The flounce around the bust gives this classic dress a little more flair in order for you to stand out. Fashion Nova sells a similar one for just $34.99 plus shipping!

If you’re wanting a dress you can absolutely wear again, invest in a v-neck fit and flare dress. Crochet or lace can add details to an otherwise simple dress such as this one. You can get an allover lace dress or look for one with a lace top like this one from Lulu’s.

Blush has become such a hot color over the past couple seasons, and dresses are no different. This blush dress has the perfect gathering at the waist that allows the fabric to fall in romantic and classic folds in the skirt. This shimmery version can be found at PromGirl along with any other available colors.

Wrap dresses are another increasingly popular trend over the previous couple seasons. This dress looks slightly wintery but would be perfect for a formal in Canada, Gatlinburg, or any other destination that’s still a little cool. You can find a sparkly version of this wrap dress on sale at Windsor for just over $14.

Ruffles are flirty and fun which makes them the perfect addition to any and all dresses, especially for a fraternity formal. I personally think ruffles look better on red dresses, such as this one from Prom Girl. You can purchase it for $49. It may seem a bit expensive, but this is one of those dresses you can wear again for a family wedding or any other formal event.

If you’re looking for something a little more summery for your formal, consider this adorable white and blue floral mini dress. It costs just $25 at Forever21 (and they always have sales) and comes in both blue/white and rose/white, making it more versatile for those who aren’t too keen on blue. There is light padding in the bust area so you won’t even have to wear a bra with it!

Sometimes you just want a casual dress, and that’s the purpose of this swing dress. It’s a great summer staple that also can be used for a fraternity formal. These swing dresses come in practically every color, but I am partial to red for the spring and summer months. You can find this one online at Lulu’s for $29 on sale. It’s made from a stretchy jersey and will help keep you cool when you’re dancing the night away.

Everyone needs a classic little black dress, and this high neck bodycon is the perfect option. They are easy to slip on and off when you’re getting dressed in the summer, and super comfortable for all the photo poses and moving around you will be doing at your fraternity formal. This particular dress can be found online at Pretty Little Thing and it cost just $18 making it totally worth it for all the use you will get out of it.

Lace is so pretty and delicate, and if that describes you, you’ll love this type of dress! A high neck dress is a classic, and the added lace makes this dress both classy and flirty. You can find a similar one, but more of a midi, online at Lulu’s. It’s the most expensive on this list at $49, but also of the highest quality and the one most likely to be worn for your next formal event.
