First, think about the ideal measures for you and the climate in your area

On the other hand, the fabric of the dress is a factor that you should think about depending on the time date in which you are going to wear it. For events that take place in hot areas, we advise you to use satin, linen or cotton dresses. Meanwhile, in cold ones, you can opt for wool or brocade fabrics. You can also dare to use metallic colors much more striking and vivid as green, an excellent contrast for every skin color.

Which style do you want to reflect this year?

Never leave aside your inner style when choosing a cocktail dress. There are strapless dresses, sleeveless, the hyper-sophisticated, long sleeve or French. In summon, there are many options among which you should look for pieces that reflect your personality. However, one thing’s for sure: if you are not very tall and you want to wear boots with the homecoming dress, it is not advisable because they take away your height. That’s why we recommend you use other types of footwear.

Even so, some of the schools for which you will wear these garments (in case you go as a guest) require specific protocol rules, so it is best to avoid very pronounced necklines in front and back, alongside over-the-top dresses. For additional guidelines on appropriate attire, take a look at What is a Homecoming Court? You can choose a beautiful Jovani dress with a tulle body embroidered with flowers and a bath neckline. The model “Emerald Plunging Neck Spaghetti Straps Short Dress 61628” comes with a cute fantasy skirt and high-waist.

What complement do we recommend for any situation?

Wearing some stockings is always useful. If you happen to find yourself in an awkward position, you will have an extra layer of protection. Remember you shouldn’t feel embarrassed just to follow a trend that makes you feel uncomfortable.

If you are a girl of grunge and rebel style, you can complement your outfit with a pair of boots. This is an exciting idea if what you want is to refresh your image. Sometimes you have to wear something daring. Still, this would be more for a post-homecoming party.

Additionally, if you want to be a bit more eye-catching with some other complements, try to make the accessories or the ornaments concentrate on the top of the dress. This way you’ll make them look formal but not overloaded. Remember that short dresses are not designed for you to suffer with them. If it takes a considerable effort to walk without feeling exposed, then you are not wearing the proper length/size.
