I love prom season and had such an amazing time helping the kids choose their prom and homecoming outfits. Back to school is in full swing! If you have high schoolers that means you are probably on the hunt for that perfect homecoming dress. Homecoming is associated with football – but it is also a tradition of welcoming all students back to school. And it isn’t just a one night dance; it is a chance to be included in sports, cultural events and a parade too. It is a memorable experience for them; so of course, you want them to have a memorable dress to go with it to make it the ultimate experience.

Hottest Colors for 2016 Homecoming Year
Trends, styles, and colors change year after year. And although there are popular colors – everyone has their own unique style. We have found that PromGirl.com has one of the largest selections of homecoming dresses and homecoming gowns online. And they are a reputable source. Sometimes buying online can be quite stressful – but Prom Girl makes it easy! They have thousands of dresses to pick from in many colors, shapes, styles and budgets!
So what are the hottest colors for the 2016 homecoming year?
PINK
Shades of pink are definitely making a comeback this season and you don’t want to be left out. Dress to impress in this short, lace, high neck dress by Dave and Johnny! Delicate lace appliques add a romantic feminine touch and a flirty short skirt completes the look. Plus – you can’t help but smile big while looking pretty in pink.
FLORAL
Floral prints are some on some of the most popular dresses this year. Floral prints will give you an elegant yet fun appearance on your big day. Plus, when you wear floral, you are embodying the many fabulous and trendy colors of this season, instead of just one. This two piece jewel embellished floral print homecoming dress by Blush is super playful and gorgeous! And, it is sold exclusively at PromGirl!
METALLIC
Metallic and sequin gowns will no doubt be the highlight of this year’s homecoming season. Metallic gowns, especially when highlighted with beautiful sequins, are edgy, show-stopping choices. If you want an “all eyes on you knock ’em dead” look, this color choice is for you! This short sequin homecoming dress by Shail K with three-quarter length sleeves and a v-neck is just stunning, don’t you think?
BLUE
Shades of blue are always a homecoming favorite – and this year is no different! We especially love the bold royal colors. Mesmerize the homecoming crowd wearing this royal blue strapless Dave and Johnny floor length dress. The Jewel Embellished Sheer Bodice is just stunning. The sparkling embellished waistband helps define your curves too.
MINT
Mint is definitely going to be a standout color this prom season. It is different from the other colors, so soft yet it stands out. We love this short strapless sweetheart dress, which features an elegant knotted design gathered at the center of the delicately pleated sweetheart bodice.
BURGANDY
Homecoming represents many things, the onset of fall being one of them. So it is no surprise that deep beautiful colors like emerald and burgundy made the list. These rich shades are so elegant and glamorous! We love the color of this short strapless dress, but the lace applique over the sheer bodice just makes this dress absolutely perfect!
No matter what your favorite color, style, or length of dress you chose for homecoming this year – you will also need the perfect shoes and accessories. Promgirl.com has you covered! We love that they carry top designer prom gowns, short semi-formal dresses, and unique print creations that are sure to make you picture perfect for your next pageant, formal, or special occasion.

The mint color is lovely. I made my prom dress in a similar color but it was more of a light, shimmery powder blue. I love looking at prom dresses!
Me too, Deb. So many beautiful ones!
I love those two longer blue ones (the deep blue and the teal) – very pretty. And is it really Homecoming time already?! Makes me feel super old, lol … my last Homecoming dance was in 2004, as a HS senior.
I totally know how you feel!
I always enjoy viewing the lovely dress choices. Since I never attended a prom I like to think about which style I would have selected if I had gone. They have such a large selection of lovely dresses not only for prom but wedding and evening wear as well. I can’t wait until my granddaughter is ready to go dress shopping!
That will be fun!
I love the Cinderella one. I would love to feel like a princess.
It is beautiful!
