Homecoming: Trending Styles and

Makeup Looks

School has started ​back up, football ​season is in full ​bloom, and the ​weather gets a ​little chillier. ​You know what that ​means! Homecoming! ​It can be quite ​stressful to find ​all the right ways ​to prepare. So, ​here are the top ​trending dress ​styles & colors to ​help make your

preparations ​easier. At LBV, ​our Hoco theme ​“The Greatest ​Homecoming” which ​consists of a ​bright color ​scheme of reds, ​blues, and ​purples. Hoco ​dresses are ​typically short ​with tight ​bodices, and ​either frilly or ​tight skirts as

well. Jewelry ​will typically ​correspond with ​the color of the ​dress. Warm/dark ​toned dresses are ​paired well with ​gold jewelry and ​cool/light toned ​dresses pair well ​with silver. We ​tied these ​routine styles ​with our theme ​with the bold ​colors and the

hairstyles. Our ​hairstyles we paired our ​dresses with also ​correspond to the dress’ ​necklines and jewelry.

Homecoming hairstyles ​typically correspond ​with the dress and ​accessories. Low ​neckline cuts ​correspond well with ​long hairstyles worn ​down. Large earrings ​or a flashy necklace ​would be more focused ​upon with an updo. To ​allow your hairstyle ​to stand out, opt for ​more simple earrings ​and necklace.
