Popular Homecoming Dress Trends You Need To Know

Finding the right homecoming dress for your big night can be an exciting experience. But because there are so many styles to choose from, you might feel overwhelmed and frustrated as you shop. Which dress will fit the best? Which one will make you feel like the most beautiful girl in the room? It’s so hard to choose!

But don’t worry, AMARRA babes. We can help you decide. Here are some of our favorite homecoming dresses that are trending right now.

Fitted Homecoming Dresses

Looking to show off those feminine curves? Wearing a fitted homecoming dress is the best way to do it. Fitted dresses are perfect for girls who are confident and want to bring out their hourglass shape. This style is also great for girls looking for a dress that slims them down and elongates the figure.

To get even more out of this dress style, you can go for a design that cinches at the waist, further highlighting your feminine figure. You can also choose a dress with lots of embellishments if you want to stand out from the crowd and make a fashion statement.

What’s great about fitted homecoming dresses is that they come in a variety of styles. For example, a fitted strapless or halter neck dress would be perfect if you want to show off your toned shoulders or collarbone. Have legs for days?

You can go for a short little number or get a dress with a high slit. Choose the style that works best for you. Because after all, fitted dresses aren’t going out of style anytime soon. Why? They’re versatile, edgy, and have the potential to bring out the best in any girl’s overall look.

A-Line Homecoming Dresses

An A-line homecoming dress is another popular style that’s very flattering to the body. A-line dresses tend to have a hem that’s much wider than their shoulders. So, they tend to narrow at the top, and gradually get wider near the hem.

A-line dresses are ideal for girls who have a rectangular body shape. That’s because they help define the waist—making it look smaller—and softly flare out at the bottom to give the body a more curvy look.

A-line dresses are also great choices for body shape, as they flatter all figures. Whether you have curves, a slender figure, or an hourglass shape, you can wear an A-line homecoming dress and look absolutely stunning. If you’re on the lookout for a striking A-line dress, details that draw attention to the upper body and legs can work very well. For example, a sweetheart neckline, soft flutter sleeves, or a slit can work wonders to highlight your best assets.

And if you’re really looking to stun the crowd, go for an A-line dress with an interesting neckline—such as a one-shoulder beauty—ruffles at the bottom, or bold prints.

When choosing the right color for your A-line dress, don’t be afraid to go big and bold. Red and black are popular colors, but softer shades like pink, white, and light blue are trendy, too!

Off-the-Shoulder Look

An off-the-shoulder homecoming dress offers a distinct neckline that’s sure to have everyone giving you a second look as you walk by. This silhouette is perfect for you if you don’t mind showing off your neck, chest, and shoulders. It also offers a sexy way to emphasize the bustline without being too revealing.

If you choose an off-the-shoudler dress for homecoming, you can further emphasize the neckline by wearing your hair in an elegant updo or add a statement to the look to really elevate it.

For example, long, dangling earrings can really set things off. They draw attention to your face and upward, so your entire body is really the star of the show.

When looking for the right off-the-shoulder beauty to wear to homecoming, know your body type. For example, if you’re tall and curvy, you might decide on an off-the-shoulder dress that’s fitted to the body. But if you have a more slender shape, look for a dress that adds more volume in the ruffle to create a more curvy appearance.

Looking to make a statement at homecoming? There’s nothing quite like a striking off-shoulder dress to achieve the look. To take things to the next level, go for a dress with details that bring sparkle to the night like rhinestones, heat stones, or sequins. The opportunities are endless!

Ball Gowns

Want to be the belle of the ball at homecoming? Then, a ball gown is the perfect option for you. Ball gowns are known for their full, voluminous skirts that are paired with a fitted bodice. Wearing a ball gown on homecoming night is sure to make you stand out from the crowd.

Plus, ball gowns look great on any body type. Since the silhouette is full and voluminous, it camouflages your lower body, while defining the waist. Even though ball gowns are flattering for all shapes, there are some things to consider.

For example, if you have a larger bust, your ball gown’s full skirt may not flatter your figure the best. On the other hand, if you’re petite, the added volume of your skirt could make you look shorter.

Just by keeping those few things in mind, you can end up with the perfect result that best flatters your body.

Simple Yet Elegant

Looking for a combination of simple and extravagant for your homecoming? Not to worry, because there are plenty of styles out there that fit that bill.

For example, a simple dress with no embellishments, yet still has flair thanks to a lace-up back could be a nice choice. Or a minimalist silhouette with a dramatic fur skirt can give you the best of both worlds.
