Finding a homecoming dress in the right style can be a challenge. It’s always important to consider design, color preferences, and body type to make the best choice. We’ve outlined the main homecoming 2019 design, style, and color trends to fit different body types below.
The Strapless Dress: A Timeless Classic
Strapless necklines are commonly sweetheart style, but the twist on the classic does away with the deep plunge. Strapless dresses are a stunning option no matter whether you’re well-endowed and not afraid to show it or prefer just an understated sliver of cleavage. This style is very versatile. It’s glamorous and elegant without restricting your arm movements.
Strapless designs come in a wide variety of silhouettes, such as fit and flare or a figure-hugging mermaid, which you may opt for even though homecoming is a less formal event. At any rate, you can’t go wrong with a mini cocktail dress with lace up closure, tulle appliqué and rhinestone embellishments.

Fit-and-Flare: The Most Flattering Style
Fit and flare dresses fit feminine curves nicely through the bodice and then billow out. Go for a maxi in a unique, attention-grabbing pattern with cap sleeves or sleeveless and look amazing.Printed Dresses – Your Imagination is the Limit
Unique print dresses are one of the biggest homecoming 2019 trends. From short, fitted numbers to longer A-line silhouettes, there is a wide variety of multi-color print homecoming dresses to choose from. You could go for a hot little mixed-pattern number, a whimsical, fun polka-dot print, or a timeless classic like stunning floral. Print minis with cute flared skirts are a perfect choice for homecoming.
Your imagination is the limit when it comes to printed styles – you could opt for a slim open-back silhouette or a strapless number with a bodice adorned with floral embroidery. For a guaranteed wow effect, choose a V-neck bodice with a sheer closed back that moves into a straight knee-length skirt.

Open Back and Backless – As Trendy as Ever
Open back and backless dresses bare just the right amount of skin to feel sexy and elegant. Choose a classic cocktail dress with handmade beadwork in your favorite color or pattern or a backless maxi for homecoming this year. As for materials, there are exclusive options like crepe, chiffon, organza and silk. A dazzling choice is ballerina-length tulle or vintage scalloped lace cap sleeves with a chiffon V-neck and a beaded bodice augmented with lace to match.
Be the envy of all your friends (and foes) this homecoming in an extremely low cut, sparkling black backless dress – it wouldn’t be out of place at all.

The Two-Piece Dress – Modern and Comfortable
An exquisite two-piece dress won’t force you to choose between comfort and modernity. This style has become extremely popular as it signifies a break with tradition. A two-piece is the best way to let your personality shine and stand out amid homecoming goers who have opted for conventional formal numbers.
This year, wine red and black-and-white patterns are most popular on two-pieces. Sexy bodycon styles have never gone out of style. Alternatively, you could go for an edgy teal or sky blue with a top in the same color or a metallic party dress.

V-Neck - Take the Plunge
A deep V-neck is imperative this homecoming, although a maxi with a plunging neckline will work for almost any event. For an added touch of elegance, you could opt for a ravishing beading pattern or Swarovski embellishments. Nothing is as flattering to feminine curves as a V neck! Sequins are a great way to make a statement in addition to the neckline, as are flirty short dresses with a plunging V. This look draws attention not only to your curves, but also to your beautiful face. There is no doubt you’ll be noticed.
A-Line Dresses – Perfect for All Body Types
If you’re not sure what design will be most flattering to your body type, know a classic A-line is always a good idea. This style features an elegant fit at the natural waistline and bust, and it’s a very wise choice if you’re bottom heavy. The flowy skirt bells out from the waistline to ensure a gorgeous fit and creates the illusion of height by elongating the body. This design will yield the hourglass figure every woman yearns for.
Red, Red Wine
A stunning wine dress is another excellent choice for homecoming. The color is feminine, eye-catching, and great for any skin tone. Steal the limelight in a unique wine beaded A-line to create or emphasize an hourglass shape or stand out in a short lace number. A wine homecoming dress will always put you at the center of attention!
Off the Shoulder – Simply Stunning
Off the shoulder styles are taking center stage in 2019. Show off your athletic build in mesmerizing silk or satin this homecoming. This look is sophisticated and elegant, yet sexy and fresh. Off-shoulder designs come in all the popular styles of the season, such as A-line and two-pieces. They are especially flattering to toned shoulders and prominent collarbones. For the best effect, we recommend a stunning brocaded bodice design.
When in Doubt, Just Add Glitter
Homecoming 2019 will glitter and shimmer in all the colors of the rainbow! There is no escaping riveting glitter this year. The most popular colors are pink mermaid, electric silver, ivory, and metallic gold. If you’d prefer a more toned-down look, go for a warm fall color like beige or wine. Embellished with glitter, these colors won’t look dull at all. Sparkly glitter leaves no one indifferent.
We have seen glitter fabric on all kinds of dress styles so far this year, including ball gowns and mermaid dresses, but it’s best for less formal events like homecoming.
