How to Choose the Right Homecoming Dresses for Your Personal Style

If you’ve got a big date to the homecoming dance coming up, you’re probably wondering how to pick the perfect dress. Homecoming is probably one of the most memorable moments of any teenager’s life, and if you want to be the girl that everyone remembers, you must choose the right dress. After all, finding and choosing among a lot of homecoming dresses can be very daunting. Fortunately, the process doesn’t exactly have to be all that intimidating. There are so many things that you can do to easily find the perfect dress that not only suits your body perfectly, but also compliments your personal style as well.

Here are some tips and tricks to making sure you look fantastic on your big night.

1. Choose the appropriate length and cut. Most homecoming dresses fall at or just above the knee. Full length gowns look spectacular for prom, but homecoming trends to be semi-formal and has a bit more of a sassy flair. Choose something that fits well and flatters your shape. Keep in mind, you want to be dancing not worrying about wardrobe malfunctions.

2. Make sure your dress meets any special rules or requirements. Some schools have a dress code policy at homecoming — be sure to ask about it in advance. Nothing would be a bigger downer on homecoming than getting kicked out for a dress code violation!

3. Know your personal style. What is your personality? Are you bold, brash, or shy? These personality types may call for an animal print, ruffles, a one-shoulder ensemble, or a dark, shimmering brocade. Have fun! Be creative. Try something different and striking that still reflects your personality.

4. Use Elegant Accessories. Small details go a long way in making your dress stand out from the rest. Try a complementary necklace and bracelet set. A Sports Rose for your date’s boutonniere shows your sporty side. When looking for shoes, go for a mix of comfort and style so that you can look great AND dance at the same time.
