Lavender Homecoming Dresses
Lavender embodies a sense of romance, which can be perfect for Homecoming night if you’re starting the school year off with love (or a Homecoming Queen nom) on the brain. You can go all in with the romantic look with details like puff sleeves, ruffles, a corset back, or a sweetheart neckline.
Lavender feels like spring, but it can complement a winter palette as well, which can be perfect for Homecoming themes like ‘Winter Wonderland.’ This shade of purple will also stand out against an autumn backdrop, which you can typically expect if you’re taking pictures outside.
Light Lavender Homecoming Dresses
Though the lavender flower is traditionally darker, most people think of a lighter, more pastel shade of purple when they think of lavender. As we said, lavender gives romantic vibes – especially in lighter hues. Light lavender can also indicate innocence; if you want to balance this, look for dresses with cutouts or a high slit if you’re going with a longer gown.
Light lavender usually makes warm undertones pop, but there are some shades of this color that have a cooler undertone to them, which will make cool skin and hair undertones pop in pictures; look for lavenders that have more of a blue undertone. Lighter shades of lavender contrast beautifully with dark hair, too.
When accessorizing, don’t go too dark, as it might take away from your dress. There’s an exception with accessories in darker shades of purple – you can usually get away with a pop of this and still keep your dress as the star. Overall, you can’t go wrong with metallics like gold and silver, light shades of pink, blue, and green, or a color that matches your skin tone.
Dark Lavender Homecoming Dresses
Since light lavender tends to be a more common choice, dark lavender will almost always turn heads. Dark lavender brings a sense of regality and nobility to an overall romantic color, which is perfect if you’re going for Homecoming Court.
Dark lavender is a great option for people with light hair who want a contrast between their hair and dress. Like with light lavender, blue undertones in your dress will work beautifully with cool undertones and make your skin pop in pictures. Dress undertones of red and other warm colors will complement warm undertones in the same way.
When you’re accessorizing a dark lavender dress, metallics will bring an elevated sense of elegance. Shoes that match your dress color or your skin tone will always add a sense of sleekness, though if you’re looking for some contrast, shades of blue or green also go well.
Short Lavender Homecoming Dresses
Since Homecoming has a semi-formal dress code, short dresses tend to be standard. If you run the risk of getting cold either before the big event or at the party afterward, you can accessorize with a glamorous jacket or a pair of tights.
Short, form-fitting dresses add a touch of extra maturity and sophistication to a color that usually evokes innocence. Dresses with more volume in the skirt lean into the romantic vibe that lavender offers; if you’re going for an elevated or more formal look, go with a dress that has lots of volume in the skirt.
When you have a shorter dress, your shoes can be a little more dazzling without making your ensemble look unbalanced. Just remember to practice walking and dancing in them a few weeks before Homecoming night!
Long Lavender Homecoming Dresses
Usually, long dresses are more formal than what Homecoming requires, but if you want to go all out and make an entrance, you totally should! There’s nothing more romantic than a lavender ball gown; if you’re looking to feel like a queen (or run for Homecoming Queen), this can be an excellent choice.
If you’re looking to add a twist of playfulness to the drama of a long gown, you can go with a printed fabric. Florals tend to be really popular for showcasing shades of lavender, which lends itself to a romantic, cottagecore vibe.
Additionally, if you’re looking to have a longer skirt but you want a less formal look, you can go with a two-piece set. Just be sure to check your school’s dress code first!
