1891 Trends from the Hogwarts Coming Out Ball
The Hogwarts Coming Out Ball is the beginning of the Season for the newest flock of debutantes, many of whom are eager to leave their mark on society! The easiest way debutantes manage this is through their fashion choices—and what better place to showcase their style than the ball that marks the beginning of it all?

1. Gold. Traditionally debuting girls don themselves in white as a testament of their purity (but more so to stand out against a crowd of mothers and married women). However, a number of the debutantes were seen wearing gold as a part of their ensemble. Miss Angelique Farbridge's gown shined gold in the candlelight against her lily-white skin and blonde curls, and Miss Fortuna Cresswell wore a golden overlay on her gown that complimented her deep complexion.

2. Puff sleeves. Another trend that's emerged coming out of the Hogwarts Coming Out Ball is the popularity of puff sleeves—a trend we're not certain will stick around for long given how awkwardly it looks on certain body types, like Miss Shona Lukeson, who was seen wearing one with particularly frilly puff sleeves!

3. Capes. While long trains have traditionally been associated with coming out gowns, a number of debutantes were seen donning long capes instead of trains. While not necessarily a practical fashion choice, it's certainly a pretty one!

Off-shoulder sleeves. While not uncommon for evening gowns to allow a bit of cleavage, it seems that some of this season's debutantes, including head girl Miss Frida Lestrange, have opted to show a bit of shoulder as well! It's definitely a trend reserved for ladies with an impeccable complexion—some of us couldn't imagine showing that much skin!

Capes—pretty or impractical?
