The Biggest Homecoming Dress Trends for 2023
Now that we're past the initial shock of returning to school after a seemingly too-short summer away, there's one big thing looming on the horizon: Homecoming.
Whether it's your first homecoming or your last one, it's an exciting time to dress your best and just have fun with your friends without worrying about classes for a little bit. It's also a great chance to show off your style and admire the glitz and glam that your peers are showing off, which is why we're here to give you a sneak peek at all the top homecoming dress trends for 2023. Whether you decide to go for one of these styles or something entirely different, you can expect to see:
Full-Blown Barbiecore
While the "Barbiecore" trend of hot pink styles has been around for a while now, it certainly isn't going anywhere just yet thanks to the recent release and success of the film. The great thing about this trend for homecoming dresses, though, is that it really just relates to the color. So whether you prefer fitted dresses or flowy, you can find a way to party like Barbie at your homecoming bash (although there probably won't be quite as many choreographed dance numbers, unfortunately).

One-Shoulder Dresses
One shoulder dresses essentially offer the best of both worlds, as you get the support of a strap/sleeve with the flattering exposure of a strapless style on the other side. No matter what color you decide to sport, this is a trend we expect to stick around well past 2023.
Corset Styles
If you're a fan of classic romances and style worthy of being featured in Bridgerton, you're going to love this 2023 homecoming dress trend. Corsets are hanging on tight to a top spot for trends this year, but you don't actually have to squeeze into one to make it work for you. Tons of dresses this year feature the look of a corset without any of the constraint, allowing you to embrace the trend in a way that is as comfortable as it is flattering.
Fancy Feathers
Feathered dresses seem to make the rounds every few years, and that proves true again for 2023. This year, though, we're trading in full-on feathered frocks for more flattering details, like feathers at the top of a strapless top or other more subtle styles that are easier for everyone to pull off.

Sequins and Shine
Finally, one trend you'll see all over the dance floor in 2023 is sequins and shine bright enough to make the disco ball itself jealous. From pinks and purples to black shimmery styles and metallics, there's an option for everyone this year. We especially love seeing it on shorter styles (especially one shoulder options that combine two trends on this list), but you'll even see longer dresses gracing the dance floor in their shining glory.
But of course, no homecoming look would be complete without the right nails to complement your dress! For some ideas on how to do up your nails for the big night, click HERE for the best summer manicure trends.
