Now we all know fashion is a child of seasons, changing endlessly with the times; but when it comes to homecoming dresses, is there much of a change in the trend? There are several faux pas one could get away with but turning up for one’s homecoming in anything gowns with fabrics or cuts that are out of style is definitely not recommended.
Here are a few popular trends for homecoming dresses now:
Lace: To be frank, lace is pretty much the latest for just about every fashion piece there is. Lace works wonderfully as a homecoming dress material and it is stocked in just about every boutique or designer outlet. Lace is ultra-feminine and sexy as all-get-out.
Chiffon
Chiffon has been around a very long time, and it is apparently still going strong. Whether your choice of a homecoming attire is a long gown or a short one, chiffon is great. See chiffon dresses at DressFirst
Sequins
These stones make for great ornaments on homecoming dresses and while they have not gone out of style, the trend is to restrict the sequins to the bodice rather than the entire dress. This is probably because the sequins can seem a bit much if they appear all over. Regardless, if you choose to go all out, by all means, indulge yourself.
Feathers
Yes we had a bit of a pause too at first, but isn’t the beauty of homecoming in standing out from the rest of the crowd? Homecoming dresses made with feathers are actually becoming very much in vogue particularly with ladies who are daring and confident enough to pull off the look. So yes, while it makes for a killer outfit for prom, it is still also a very good choice for homecoming.
Print Dresses
Print dresses are basically front and centre in the fashion industry, and no wonder given how unique, eye-catching and absolutely attractive they are.
Apart from the fabrics, several other features are also trending for homecoming dresses 2013. With colors for instance, the tide is turning in favour of bold colors like red, blue, etc. also, colors that are pale and are also encouraged.
As to cuts, people frequently go for different styles. More popular right now is the asymmetrical cut. It flatters just about every body shape and is also great for homecoming dresses. The asymmetrical cut is fast becoming a designer favourite and you can’t possibly go wrong with this one, as you will look elegant, trendy and fashionable in it.
Also, the sheath/fitted gowns are making a comeback¾ even though we feel they were never really out of style. The sheath cut is pretty much a classic, but it works best with the hour-glass figure than with any other body shape.
Also, you can totally rock a bandage outfit at your homecoming as it is very much in style.
