It’s fall (or almost fall!) which means back-to-school dances, studying (unfortunately!), school activities, and….HOMECOMING!

Whether this year will be your first homecoming or not, it’s worth researching early for a great homecoming dress.

If you prefer shopping online, you may want to check out Amazon, Windsor, or Lulus for your homecoming dress. These stores sell cute homecoming dresses online. Plus, it is easier to search for dresses by color and size. It can be so frustrating searching for the perfect homecoming dress in person!

FAQs About Homecoming and Homecoming Dresses

Have a question that’s not answered below? Leave a comment!

What are the best stores for buying homecoming dresses online?

I personally like Amazon the most (you can see lots of pictures of the homecoming dresses on women), with Dillard’s as my second choice.

You may also want to check out David’s Bridal, HocoGirl.com, or Promlily.com for homecoming dresses.

Should I wear a short or a long homecoming dress?

Most girls wear short (knee-length) dresses for homecoming and long dresses for prom.

What’s the best style of homecoming dresses?

I personally like A-line homecoming dresses the most, which means that the dress is tighter at the top and then flares out at the bottom. It’s a sweet and fun style for homecoming.

How should I style my hair for homecoming?

If you have healthy hair then definitely leave it down! Get a good curling iron (I personally LOVE to use the flat iron by BaByliss) and add soft curls or saves to your hair.

What colors are popular for homecoming dresses?

Emerald green, navy blue, black, and burgundy are popular colors for homecoming dresses.

I personally like royal blue, red, and black the most.

A light pink or hot pink homecoming dress is also super cute and will make you stand out (in a good way!).

What kinds of shoes should I wear for homecoming?

Wear open-toe, black or tan heels with an ankle strap.

Most homecoming dances are in September, so you can get away with open-toe heels. Plus, an open-toe heel is a little bit more fun and less formal than a closed-toe heel.

The ankle strap will make the heel more “secure” on your foot, making it easier to walk and dance.

Lastly, make sure the heel isn’t too high. 2-3 inches is a good height.
