How to Select the Perfect Homecoming Dress

 

• Call in friends to help you with any step of the process. Take a few trusted friends dress shopping, or better yet. pick out your favorite dresses and have them vote on the perfect dress. Ask them what accessories they would put with your dress, or on homecoming night you and your friends could all get ready together (which is a great way to check that your hair and makeup is impeccable!)
• Stay true to the homecoming style, but put your own twist on it in certain aspects. There are some general rules for a homecoming dress: not too fancy, about knee-length, fall or winter colors, and some sheen and sparkle. However, mixing things up in some select areas, like a fun, unique print, a bow or two, or some fantastic ruffles, is a great way to stand out in a sea of satin.
• When in doubt, go with a LBD. Your favorite LBD (Little Black Dress) can do you no wrong. Many girls wear LBDs to homecoming, and they are a tried and true way to infuse personal style into any dress code. LNDs (Little Navy Dresses,) LWDs (Little White Dresses,) or LBDs (Little Brown or Burgundy Dresses,) are all fantastic options as well.
