With school starting soon, high schools are gearing up for homecoming. The annual fall tradition brings alumni back to campus, usually involving a variety of festivities like pep rallies and football games. But one part that many are looking forward to is the homecoming dance—and if you’re seeking a dress, we’ve found some at every price point like a bodycon under $50, a boho maxi slip dress under $100 and a glittery minidress over $100.
We’ve listed longer options for formal events and shorter options for more casual parties. Regardless of what you’re looking for, peruse our favorite picks, below, to celebrate homecoming in a look you love.
15 Homecoming Dresses To Wear This Year
Top options under $50
1. Sleek Satin: This satin ruffle dress is cute and shiny but still beyond chic with an ultra flattering bodice. There are 40 different colors to choose from, and while the price varies by size, it mostly stays well under $50.
2. Bodycon: That’s right, 90s babies—bodycon dresses never went out of style! Prettygarden’s Bodycon Ruched Cocktail Dress is timeless and mature (but still age appropriate for any homecoming queen!). So prepare to dance the night away.
3. A-Line: Yes, OYI’s v-neck party dress is right at the $50 mark, but it’s worth it, because who doesn’t love an A-line? The super soft satin material comes in 32 different colors. And the hidden pockets are truly a godsend.
4. Most Affordable: Even though Honhuzh’s High Fork Knee-High Halter Dress is the cheapest option on this list, it’s certainly one of the best-looking! The dark green velvety material is beyond sophisticated (and perfect for a crisp fall evening!). And we really love those halter straps.
5. Lady In Red: For a longer dress, Princess Polly’s Bombshell Maxi is ankle length with a sexy slit up the side, as well as a flattering square neckline. It’s bright red, too, so it will definitely catch some eyes.
Best Picks Under $100
6. Flower Queen: Who needs a bouquet when you have Petal & Pup’s Jasmine Asymmetric Neck Ruched Maxi Dress? It’s ultra classy and long but still stretchy (aka super comfortable!), while hugging your curves in all the right ways.
7. Wear It Again: Yes, Zara’s ZW Satin Long Dress in brown is perfect for homecoming with heels and a cute handbag. But despite its elegance, it can also be dressed down for beach outings, brunches and shopping trips to come. So you’ll want to wear it again and again.
8. Boho: Free People’s Concrete Jungle Maxi Slip mixes bohemian vibes with effortless elegance. The draped cowl neck offers a customizable fit (because it looks different on everyone!), but you know it’ll look fabulous, no matter what.
9. Sleeves: You don’t have to brave the cold to still look hot, hot, hot. Princess Polly’s Donelli Long Sleeve Mini Dress is sophisticated, sparkly and machine-washable. And yes, it has long sleeves, so when you have to walk home you won’t have goosebumps.
10. Plus-Size: Is that a lovely lady in lace? a.Jesdani’s Lace V-Neck Dress is completely lined with lace, and it comes in four gorgeous colors. It also comes in a wide range of sizes, and trust us: it looks good on truly everyone.
Gorgeous Looks $100+
11. Sparkles: You can never look underdressed when you’re wearing sparkles! Blondie Nites Sequin and Glitter Minidress in Rose is truly a sight to behold—maybe warn your friends they’ll need some sunglasses when you hit the dance floor. You’ll be giving the disco ball a run for its money.
12. Come On Barbie: You’ll feel like a Barbie girl in a Barbie world when you put on the BCBG Max Azaria Strapless Evening Dress. And whether you have a Ken or if you’re flying solo to the homecoming dance, you’ll look seriously stunning either way.
13. Biker Gal: Bardot’s Estine Leather Midi Dress is a faux-leather number that’ll make you look totally bad-ass. Pair with some kitten heels for a Carrie Bradshaw vibe. Just keep in mind for the next morning… it’s hand-wash only.
14. One Shoulder: Elliatt’s Briony Floral One-Shoulder Mini Dress has a rippling ruffle and a gorgeous floral print that really makes us yearn for a longer summer (but homecoming is so worth the season’s change!).
15. Fairytale: You’ve never looked as magical as you do in the Popilush Summer Maxi Dress. Honestly, if you wore a flower crown we wouldn’t be mad about it (and TBH it’d look truly next-level).
