Forget classy. The buzzword for this year's prom shoppers is "slutty chic," says the New York Post. Apparently teenagers across NYC are eager for "cleavage-revealing frocks, bellybutton-baring gowns and dresses made of barely enough fabric to make a washcloth," continues the paper. While high schoolers' raging hormones and lack of self-awareness may partially explain their pushing of boundaries sartorially speaking, they're not the only ones to blame if students show up to this year's prom looking like sluts. Not only has uber-popular show Gossip Girl been pushing cleavage, crotch-grazing hemlines and generally slutty looks as acceptable for the past few seasons.

Hollywood has followed suit. Take this year's Oscars for example. The Frisky recently highlighted the top ten sluttiest looks from the Oscars and a number of them apparently would fit right in at a Brooklyn senior prom this year. Waist-high hemlines, check. Extremely low-cut necklines, check check. That said, there is absolutely no excuse for exposed belly buttons at prom... nor on a red carpet. So not chic. As for footwear, you guessed it: stripper shoes are all the rage.
