Seeing as how summer is drawing to a close, it is now time to start making preparations to return to school. Homecoming festivities are a natural extension of the return to the classroom.
Tradition and a rite of passage for high school students, homecoming is an annual event held in the fall. Even though the celebrations differ from one community to the next, the majority of homecoming activities consist of either a formal or semi-formal dance. This is a perfect occasion for the ladies to take advantage of and dress to impress.
The thought of a simple black dress is very appealing to us for this year. This style is easy to achieve and looks fantastic on a wide range of people. Additionally, in contrast to the majority of other dresses worn to homecoming, a black dress is one that can be worn again in the future. You can make an entirely new outfit out of just one black dress by accessorizing it with a variety of different items.
When it comes to such a significant occasion as a homecoming, it is only natural to be concerned that a black dress might be overly simplistic. But how you wear it is the most important factor. Homecoming dresses in black are very versatile and can be accessorized with a wide variety of items.
Here are some of our favorite ways to dress up a black dress for this year's homecoming dance.
Be Bold with Your Jewelry Choices
Adding beautiful jewelry is an easy way to dress up a black dress. This can make you look more interesting by adding color and shine.
For example, a black homecoming dress with a simple neckline can be made more interesting by adding a large statement necklace. A necklace with big, brightly-colored stones can be very striking. Or, you could choose a necklace with a thin chain and an elegant pendant for a more classic look.
A pair of big, bold earrings is another option for jewelry. Both big hoops and long, dangling earrings can draw attention to the face. Or, you can try some large studs, for a unique look.
We also love black homecoming dresses with bracelets. You can wear one big bangle or a bunch of smaller ones stacked on top of each other. The second choice will make your outfit more interesting.
Give Your Shoes A Splash Of Colour
Bright shoes are a simple way to add color to a black dress. Since the dress is simple, you can choose creative shoes. Wear red or turquoise heels. Or try an animal print.
Adding leather or velvet to your outfit can also add interest. Formal shoes aren't limited to heels. Fun flats can also add interest to a dress. We love flats with buckles or gems.
Make Sure Your Hair And Makeup Match
Think about how you want to do your hair and makeup when you're putting together your outfit. Depending on the look you're going for, the style you choose will make your outfit more or less sophisticated.
For a simple look, you can let your hair down and curl it loosely. You can also use a spray that makes your hair fuller to give it more depth.
Adding hair accessories to your look is a great way to step it up. A hair band or a big barrette will make your hair look girly and interesting. It will also make people notice your face.
We love the idea of putting on bright red lipstick as part of our makeup. This color's brightness goes well with black homecoming dresses.
Don't Leave Your Bag Behind!
Last but not least, when putting together an ensemble, the bag you carry is crucial. More than just a means to transport your belongings, your bag serves as an extension of your personality. It's a key piece of equipment that can elevate the look of your outfit as a whole.
There are a variety of purses that can be worn with a black homecoming dress, each of which can add a different vibe to the ensemble.
A cross-body bag, for instance, is a daring accessory. Adding visual complexity to your look, a bag in a contrasting hue is the way to go.
However, a strapped bag may not be the most formal option, even though we adore the style it adds. A cross-body bag, on the other hand, is ideal for a more relaxed look. Clutches are the best option for a formal outfit.
Putting the Look Together
Remember that the simplicity of a black dress is one of its best features. The "little black dress" is a timeless look that can be quickly elevated with fun accessories.
However, you should avoid going overboard with the accessories. Adding too many pieces to a simple dress can defeat the purpose of choosing it in the first place. As a result, we recommend sticking to one or two statement pieces.
For example, if you decide to wear a statement necklace, go with simple earrings. Similarly, if you wear fun shoes, bring a simple bag. These options will help to balance out your outfit.
