Going to Homecoming? Don’t Make These Mistakes!

Going to homecoming is fun and exciting, but take note that attending this event isn’t just about showing up and having fun; if you want to have a smooth and successful experience, you need to make your preparations as early as possible. Of course, make sure to avoid these mistakes:

Not knowing the dress code

Most schools have a dress code for homecoming and other events, and it’s important to know what it is so you can buy a homecoming dress  that fits the guidelines. Visit the school website or call the school office to get a copy of the dress code.

Procrastinating on dress shopping

You might not feel like buying a dress especially if homecoming is still a few months away. But remember: you’re not the only one who will be attending this event! Thousands of girls are also going to their own homecoming and shopping for dresses, which means you might not find a dress that suits your fashion taste and/or comes in your size if you shop a few days before homecoming season.

So make sure to look for your dress as early as possible. You can go shopping on the web; there are plenty of online stores that offer stylish and high-quality gowns for homecoming and other formal events. Check out the site’s FAQ page to know more about its return policies, payment options, and other topics.

Choosing the wrong shoes

Most dresses look great when paired with six-inch heels. But the real question is this: can you handle these sky-high pair of footwear? If you’re not used to wearing heels, don’t force yourself to do so during homecoming. Instead, stick to a heel height that you’re comfortable with so you can stand, walk and dance on homecoming night without any problem.

Forgetting your undergarments

We don’t mean forgetting to wear them; we mean forgetting to consider them when choosing your dress! Make sure to pick undergarments that properly match your dress — you don’t want to have your bra straps peeking out or your panty lines being too visible .

Avoid these mistakes to have a smooth and positive homecoming experience!
