Tips for Finding the Best Homecoming Dress

Posted by PromHeadquarters on Aug 17th 2017

August is here and it's time to start thinking about what homecoming fashions you'll slay on the dance floor. As you prepare to search for the perfect dress, remember to keep in mind some of these great tips for choosing the best homecoming dress for you:

  1. Listen to your classmates and find out what they're wearing. See which styles are on fleek and which ones are not.

  2. Find out your dress code. Is it formal or semi-formal? Are you allowed to wear two pieces? 

  3. Give yourself plenty of options by choosing a dress that can't be found at the local mall. Look to dress shops or online retailers like Promheadquarters.com to find the perfect homecoming dress.

  4. Pass on full length dresses and instead look for short, flirty dresses that hit at, just above, or just below the knee.

  5. If you're going to a more formal occasion, choose homecoming dresses made from satin, velvet, or sequined knit.

  6. Consider the temperature. If your homecoming is bound to be held when it's cool, try accessorizing your homecoming dress with a cute little jacket, shawl, or bolero.

  7. If you're going with a bold print or design, choose a dress that has a simple shape. Let the pattern do all the talking and accessorize lightly.

  8. Choose a great pair of shoes or accessories in a bold color to jazz up the basic little black dress.

  9. Don't be afraid to take risks. If you aren't much of a dress person, consider choosing a romper or jumpsuit this year.

  10. Dress for your body type. Once you know your shape, look for details and cuts that play up your best features and help to balance out your body.

  11. Be yourself!
