With homecoming this past weekend came the emergence of many trends among the dresses girls wore to the dance. These include, but are not limited to fun patterns on dresses, two-piece dresses, ruched fabric dresses, ruffled dresses, and very simple bright-colored dresses.

Although each dress was unique in their style, scrolling through Instagram, these 5 trends stood out to me as the most prominent five trends for this year’s homecoming dresses.

The first trend I noticed was different patterns on many of the dresses. From floral to polka dot to a mix of the two, people in every grade wore this trend. Check out their looks below!

A second trend that was popular this homecoming was two-piece sets. This trend is a super cute way to wear a simple dress but have a fun twist to it. Check out some seniors who rocked this look below!

The third and most popular trend I saw this homecoming season was ruched dresses. This fabric was very popular, adding a fun new dimension to an otherwise simple dress shape. Check out girls from every grade who made this trend their own!
