Say Yes To The Dress: HOCO Season Is Here! A Guide To Finding The Ultimate Homecoming Dress

 

Homecoming season is finally here! And you know what that means… It's time to find the perfect dress! Whether you’re going for sleek and sophisticated or sassy and sweet the possibilities are endless! However, not everyone can decide on a dress straight away. Here is your ultimate guide to finding the perfect dress!

 

Step 1:  Style & Length

These days there are countless dresses in every style and color. The only question is which one are you going to choose? Are you someone that likes to keep it short and simple? Or long and classy? Homecoming season is known for short and sweet dresses. I personally love finding a dress that is a little bit unique. If you are someone who isn’t too concerned about the price, local Evansville shops such as Paparazzi and Magic Moments are great stores to check out. If you’re looking for some great alternative stores in the Eastland Mall like Windsor, Macy's, and JCPenney have great dresses too. For years my sisters and I have gotten dresses from all stores listed. My personal favorite find has actually been thrifted. You can also check out thrift stores and online ones as well to find the perfect dress. Your dress should reflect your style and the length should be most comfortable on you. Don’t worry too much about what is most popular. What matters most is how you feel. At the end of the day it's your style everyone is excited to see!! 

 

Step 2: So Many Colors So Many Choices

After you have selected the style and length you hope to wear, you can now choose your color! Choosing a color that compliments you is important but not everything. I wished I had taken the time over the last couple years experimenting with new colors instead of wearing the same one. It is very popular nowadays especially on Tiktok to classify yourself as a gold or silver jewelry girl. If you like to wear gold warmer tones such as red, orange, yellow, pink and even gold dresses may compliment your skintone better. If you prefer silver blues, purples, greens, and black dresses can also make you stand out more. However, there is no scientific proof of this so wear what you enjoy most! It is also most common nowadays to mix metals! That is honestly the most fun of it all, being true to yourself!

Step 3: Mirror Mirror On The Wall Who's the Prettiest of Them All?

Spoiler alert, it's you! During this time of finding the perfect dress it’s important to remember staying true to yourself. Homecoming is not only about a dress but it’s about having fun too! Going to the first dance of your school year is so exciting especially when you’re going with your best friends. Whether you wear a dress that is big and bold or simple and sweet, what matters most is feeling beautiful about yourself. 

 

Homecoming season is here now, but it won't always be. So make sure to have fun and dance the night away!
