Blue Homecoming Dress

Blue Homecoming Dresses 

Blue is the color of tranquility, and a blue Homecoming dress can help you embody a calm vibe going into the new school year. Light blue dresses bring softness and can add a romantic edge to a shorter dress. Dark or navy blue exudes sophistication, which may make for a stunning choice if you’re going for Homecoming Queen. 

A blue dress can also be a nod to the sea and the beach, especially in lighter or royal blue tones, bringing a bit of a summer vibe into Homecoming’s autumn backdrop. 

If you’re planning on spending any time outside during Homecoming night, you may want to consider dress options with long sleeves or those made from a heavier fabric, like velvet, to combat the chill. 

If blue is one of your school’s team colors, feel free to accessorize your dress with your team’s other colors for a dose of school spirit!

Light Blue Homecoming Dresses

Light blue Homecoming dresses are romantic and can mirror the daytime sky as well as a clear sea. Pastel blue serves as a nice alternative to white if you’re looking to go light but want a little more of an offbeat pick to stand out. 

Shades of light blue look stunning on cool undertones, but there are plenty of pastel shades that complement warm undertones. Dark hair is a really pretty contrast against a pastel blue, though lighter shades of blue make a gorgeous backdrop for any hair color. 

Light blue dresses pair well with metallic shoes and accessories, especially silver. Darker shades of blue can pair nicely with light blue, depending on the hue you’re working with. When it comes to colors outside of neutrals, shades of green, purple, and pink add a pop of contrast to light blue while still keeping your dress the star of the show. 

Dark Blue Homecoming Dresses

If light blue calls back to clear afternoon skies, dark blue Homecoming dresses embody midnight, especially covered in beading or other sparkly accents. Dark blue can work as a fabulous alternative to black if you’re looking for a dress that isn’t as severe against your skin. 

Navy is a neutral that goes with pretty much any skin or hair undertones, though in general, blue usually makes cool tones pop in pictures. Light hair serves as a pretty contrast against a deeper blue shade, but like light blue, dark blue looks lovely with all hair colors. 

Dark blue dresses accessorize well with metallics, green, purple, and lighter shades of pink for a gorgeous contrast. Avoid accessorizing with black against a very dark blue because it may look like a mistake. Shoes in nude tones or that match the color of your dress will always complete your look effortlessly.

Short Blue Homecoming Dresses

Short dresses are the most popular choice for Homecoming because of the semi-formal dress code. For the most part, short blue Homecoming dresses will either be more voluminous through the skirt, or they’ll be more form-fitting. Each choice brings a different energy, so think about what you’re trying to embody for your big night. 

If you’re going for more of a formal vibe, look at dresses that feature a voluminous skirt. A tight bodice and a puffy skirt is a classic princess look, made a little less formal with the shorter hemline. These dresses will move with you beautifully while you dance the night away! 

Tight dresses are a less formal option that exudes maturity. If you’re looking to bring a bit more formality to a fitted look, you can dress up a tight dress with elegant sleeves, a dramatic neckline, and details like beading. 

When you’re deciding on shoes for your short dress, you can safely look at more bedazzled options without worrying about your shoes competing with your gown. Just be sure to select shoes that you can move in! 

Long Blue Homecoming Dresses 

Long blue Homecoming dresses will always make a statement, especially since most Homecoming attendees go with a shorter look. If you’re looking to feel like a princess, or you’re going for the Homecoming court, a long gown might be the perfect choice. 

For a dress that’s a little more formal than a short dress, a fitted gown is an excellent choice. You can also go with a printed gown to bring a bit of playfulness into a floor-length dress. 

If you’re looking for a bit more drama in your Homecoming look, a ball gown or a similar silhouette with a voluminous skirt ensures that you make an entrance. Details like ruffles or corset lacing bring in a sense of whimsical romance. 

Long Homecoming dresses tend to pair best with more subtle accessories. You can’t go wrong with dainty jewelry and sandals in a metallic tone, or shoes that match the hue of your gown.
