Homecoming Dresses
HOCO season is officially here and we couldn’t be more ready. If you thought finding your dream homecoming outfit was going to be hard, we have some good news for you. Princess Polly has an entire collection dedicated to the latest homecoming looks, ready and waiting for your wardrobe. Let's dive into the hottest dress trends and frequently asked questions and get you homecoming-ready!
What Length Dress Should You Wear to Homecoming?
A common question we get asked is “what length dress should I wear to homecoming?”. The short answer is, any length you like! Homecoming is the perfect excuse to dress up and show off your personal style, while keeping the formal feel. But, if you want to stick with the classics, a typical formal dress is long or midi length (just below the ankles). These long homecoming dresses are SO flattering and are perfect for an elevated formal vibe. We can't go past a cute mini dress for homecoming though! If you're anything like us, making a statement is a must. Mini dresses are fun, comfortable and can still be formal. Level up your black mini dress with slingback heels and gold jewelry, thank us later.
Style of Dresses For Homecoming
Finding the style you want to wear to homecoming can sometimes be the hardest part. No clue where to start? We recommend scrolling Pinterest and finding the shapes and sillouettes that you naturally gravitate towards and make a homecoming outfit inspo board. You can use this as reference when scrolling Princess Polly (you'll find ALL the dreamy Pinterest looks here). A few of our fave styles for homecoming are asymmetrical dresses (think off the shoulder styles), strapless midi dresses, floral bodycon dresses and timeless long black dresses (bonus points for tie-up details!).
The Perfect Color For Homecoming
So you've got your heart set on a particular style, but what color?! For homecoming, we recommend choosing a color that you're SUPER obsessed with. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try something new, but you should try do your homecoming shopping at least a few weeks in advance. Use this time to experiment with different colors before deciding on your dream look. If you've been eyeing off a baby pink homecoming dress, order it and see if you're obsessed - you can always use our super easy returns if you end up swapping colors. We've made sure that our collection includes your most wanted styles in various shades. Stick with a classic black or white dress if this is what makes you feel your best.
How to Accessorize Your Homecoming Dress
Less is more when it comes to styling your hoco outfit. When you have a statement dress that’s already stealing the spotlight, the rest of the outfit can stay minimal. BUT, that doesn’t mean your accessories have to be boring. Gold or silver jewelry is obviously at the top of our list; experiment with different shaped necklaces and see which one looks best with your new dress! One thing not to overlook is hair accessories. The hair accessories in our collection are easy-to-style and will match perfectly with any of look you put together.
Should a homecoming dress be long or short?
There's no hard and fast rule here. Whether your homecoming dress should be long or short totally depends on your personal style. Short dresses are flirty and fun (perfect for the dance floor in our opinion) and long dresses are classic and timeless - the choice is yours!
Do you have to wear a dress to homecoming?
Nope! You don't have to wear a dress to homecoming if that’s not your vibe. Homecoming is all about having fun and feeling comfortable in whatever you choose to wear. You could sport a chic jumpsuit, a blazer and tailored pants look or an elevated matching set. The most important thing is to wear something that makes YOU feel like a hoco icon. Now you have everything you need to put together your dream 2024 homecoming look. We’re SO excited for you and can’t wait to see what look you choose!
