Whether your date to your high school homecoming dance happens to be your significant other, your BFF, or your whole group of friends, there are so many fun ways to coordinate your homecoming dress attire! You can match in small, subtle ways that complement each other’s looks to show you’re attending together, or you can go all out with a matchy-matchy theme from head to toe. Whatever your preference, PromGirl is here to help you learn how to match homecoming outfits stylishly. Here are a few ways to sync your styles for your high school homecoming dance:
- Coordinate Accessories: From clutches and jewelry to cufflinks and ties, there are so many ways to match up your looks by utilizing accessories! You could even add stylish, colorful belts to both homecoming dresses and suits to coordinate in a fun way. The most classic of coordinating dance accessories is the corsage and/or boutonnière! No, it's not just for prom...so use the color or type of flowers for both the corsage and boutonnière to show you're attending homecoming together.
- Match Shoes/Socks: Imagine showing up in matching colorful sneakers! Or maybe the pop of color in your heels matches your date’s vibrant socks. Whether you decide to match in style or color (or both!), your fancy feet can show just who you want to be with at your high school homecoming dance!
- Coordinate Homecoming Dresses: If you and your date are both wearing homecoming dresses, you could mix and match the style and the color. Maybe you both buy the same dress for the school dance, but in different colors that complement each of you best. Or, you could go for different styles that suit each of you but in the same hue.
- Coordinate without Cloning: If you're worried about too closely matching your date, you can find ways to coordinate your homecoming outfits without being in the same exact color from head-to-toe. If you know your homecoming dress will be a bright, bold color, your date can go for tone-downed but complementary hues for their suit or dress, such as black, navy, gray, or similar neutral hues. If you'll be wearing something neutral in tone or a classic LBD (little black dress) to homecoming, then your date can go for the vibrant color pop. Don't forget the power of accessories to tie it all together (as mentioned above)!
- Show Off Your School Pride: Since homecoming is already all about school spirit, why not come up with matching homecoming outfits that incorporate the school’s colors? From head to toe, you both could choose accessories, makeup, and clothes that show off your school pride.
- Match in Formality: Typically hoco dances are semi-formal, so you and your date can make sure that you're both in semi-formal attire. PromGirl's short homecoming dresses are perfect for this, and dress pants/shirts and ties fit the bill for semi-formal dress codes too. If you both decide to go all out and dress to the nines in more formal attire to really stand out and live it up for a night, then you'll want to check out PromGirl's long homecoming dresses and explore two- or three-piece suit options for a fancier vibe.
