Madison Paddock, Managing Editor

It’s everyone’s favorite month, filled with shopping, pampering, excitement and budding love; it’s Homecoming month! For many, Homecoming is one of the most anticipated nights of the school year, and everyone wants to look their best for such a special night. What’s the most important part of the Homecoming look, though? The perfect dress or suit.

This fall, there are many exciting new styles and trends for Homecoming dresses and suits, making it easy for anybody to find the perfect look and still be original.

 

Trend #1: Detailed Necklines

Plain, boring, strapless dresses are on their way out, and dresses with high necklines featuring interesting details are all over this season. From jeweled beading to crochet and lace, detailed necklines are all the rage and are a unique and fashion-forward look. These kind of dresses can be found on the shelves of Windsor, Nordstrom and A’GACI, just to name a few.

Trend #2: Ornate Patterns

Sometimes less is more, but that is not the case with the dresses in stores this fall. Bright florals, ornate metallic prints and abstract patterns all add a splash of fun to the Homecoming look! Forever 21, A’GACI and Windsor all have a large selection of patterned dresses.

Trend #3: Cutouts & Transparent Details

Following in the fashionable footsteps of celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift, dresses with cutouts and transparent details have been one of the biggest trends this season. Dresses like these are sleek and edgy at the same time, and compliment any body type. Check out PromGirl.com, Charlotte Russe or Windsor for more styles like these.

Trend #4: Plunging Necklines & Back-lines

In contrast to the high, detailed necklines seen this season, another popular style is low v-neck and sweetheart neckline dresses, as well as plunging back lines. A dramatic neck or back line can make a simple dress memorable and will leave you looking chic and stylish. A’GACI and Windsor both have many options for these daring dresses.

Stylish Suits:

For all the boys out there, here are some fun trends to try out for your Homecoming look. Grey or white pants are a nice change from classic black, and look great with brightly colored neck wear. Speaking of neck wear, try something new with a patterned tie, or even a bow tie. Last but not least, add some suspenders to your outfit for the finishing touches. Department stores like Nordstrom or Macy’s have great options for men.
