Green Homecoming Dress

Green Homecoming Dresses 

Green is known for being the color of prosperity and luck, which may be the perfect vibe to start your school year off with! Green can also symbolize growth and new beginnings; a perfect Homecoming outfit color if you’re looking to start the school year with a sense of renewal. 

Since Homecoming usually happens at the beginning of fall, green nods to the last of the summer bloom that happens before winter starts doing its thing. If you’re a nature lover, a deep green or leaf green alludes to the great outdoors. 

If green is a team color for your school, you can go all out with your school spirit by having your shoes or other accessories match any other team colors your school has! 

Light Green Homecoming Dresses

Light green dresses bring a dose of romantic charm to your Homecoming look. They invoke the gentle feelings of nature, and they offer a more colorful option than black or white without being as loud as many warmer or jewel tones. Most shades of light green will be complementary to just about every skin and hair undertone, whether warm or cool. The contrast of light green against dark hair will always look fantastic in pictures, but light green can look perfect with light hair too! 

Light green in a heavier fabric like velvet can bring a dynamic contrast between the airy color and the more weighty fabric. Fabrics like velvet may also help keep you warm if you’re planning on spending any time outside (especially if you’re going with a shorter hemline). 

Sage Green Homecoming Dresses

For a more neutral backdrop for bold accessories, sage green Homecoming dresses can be super complimentary to jewel tones as well as metallics in just about every shade. Gold jewelry, shoes, and purses, in particular, can really stand out against this shade and elevate your look without your overall fit appearing too busy, or having your dress and accessories clash with each other.

Like other light green shades, sage green Homecoming dresses tend to complement most skin tones and help you pop in any Homecoming photos. It’s also a fairly unique shade for a Homecoming dress, so if your goal is to stand out without your dress being too loud, this color can be a great option for you.

Dark Green Homecoming Dresses

Dark green Homecoming dresses embody a sophisticated vibe. A very dark green gown can be an offbeat alternative to the ultra-popular black Homecoming dress choice. 

Dark green dresses will make just about any skin or hair undertone pop in pictures, so just try on your gown and make sure that it makes you feel confident. Much like the contrast between light green and dark hair, the contrast between dark green and light hair will look gorgeous in your Homecoming pictures! 

When accessorizing your dark green Homecoming dress, you can’t go wrong with gold, silver, or black. Pearls paired with dark green can be a stunning look, especially if you’re going for a luxurious vibe. 

Emerald Green Homecoming Dresses

Emerald green Homecoming dresses, and other more saturated shades, really tap into the image of prosperity and wealth, especially with dazzling accessories. You can even go all out and pair your dress with statement costume jewelry pieces featuring faux emeralds.

Like other dark green shades, emerald green Homecoming dresses can really allow light hair to shine. You can even put some faux emerald-studded clips into your hair to play with the contrast and make sure your look screams luxury from head to toe.

While an emerald green Homecoming ball gown or elegant slip dress can really bring the drama, this shade in a cocktail dress or a flirty two piece set can balance out a youthful cut with a sense of classic style and luxury.

Short Green Homecoming Dresses

Short green gowns tend to be the more popular choice for Homecoming. This is because Homecoming’s dress code is usually semi-formal as opposed to formal, so you don’t have to be dressed quite as formally to fit in. Not only that, but shorter dresses tend to be easier to dance and move around in, so most people opt for them. 

For the most part, short green Homecoming dresses are either form-fitting or have more of an A-line shape that flares out at the skirt. A-line skirts have more volume and bring more movement to your look, whereas tight Homecoming dresses exude maturity and sophistication. They may be a bit more difficult to dance in, though, so make sure you test out your shoes first. 

Speaking of shoes, when you choose a shorter dress, you can go a little blingy with your shoe choice without having to worry about them upstaging your dress. You can even go with glittery tights or stockings! 

Long Green Homecoming Dresses 

A long green Homecoming dress is going to make an entrance at the semi-formal event. There are plenty of reasons to go all-out for Homecoming, though, especially if you’re going into your senior year. A ball gown will be showstopping, whereas a long, tight dress will serve sophistication, especially in a darker shade of green. 

When choosing shoes and accessories for a long Homecoming gown, you’ll want to go more demure. This will keep your accessories from competing with your dress. Dainty sandals in a metallic tone or pumps that either match your skin tone or your gown will complete your look beautifully. 

Long Homecoming dresses can be more difficult to dance with, but details like slits can make your time on the dance floor easier. Practice dancing in your dress and shoes before the big night so you can get used to how it feels.
