This year the Frederick High School 2024 homecoming theme is A Night In Paris. The best part about homecoming month is dress shopping! Listed down below are a few dress styles you can consider when looking for your perfect dress!
There’s a variety of different types of dress styles. Some styles that you can consider wearing are formal, semi formal, and casual. Formal dresses are elegant and delicate, and they’re usually floor length. This style is known for students who want to make a statement when walking through the school doors. Semi-formal dresses are the same but they’re not floor length. You can wear this dress at any preferred length, such as short, and knee length. Casual dresses are more versatile, shorter, and more comfortable than formal or semi-formal dresses. The purpose of casual dresses are to allow more free movement, such as dancing and walking. This allows you to participate in those activities, rather than sitting out because of the lack of functionality of your dress.
An example of a formal dress is a ballgown dress. A ballgown dress is a gown worn to a formal event.
These dresses are usually more elegant and poofy, but would never fail to make a statement in a crowd full of people. Ballgown dresses are long formal dresses that are worn to events that usually require dancing. Many princesses in fairy tale stories wear ball gown dresses, such as Cinderella, Princess and the Frog, Snow White, etc. So if you want to feel like a princess on Homecoming night, then I would definitely recommend wearing this type of dress. There are many boutiques in Frederick, Maryland that provide these kinds of dresses. These dresses can range at prices $100-$1000, depending on the fabric and how the dress is designed.

Semi-formal dresses are like formal dresses but they’re not floor length. An example of a semi-formal dress is a floral white v-neck tight fitted knee length dress. The flowers on this kind of dress are elegant and contribute to the Paris theme. This dress is a classic, yet it’s still unique. This dress flares outward down to your knees, this is what makes it unique. The point of this is to add shape and structure to your dress. Fitted dresses are very flattering and good when trying to show definition and curves in your body. Shopping at places like Windsor, Amazon, or even your local Macy’s would provide these kinds of dresses!
An example of a casual dress is a black mini strapless dress. Strapless dresses are more revealing, but they look nice with tan lines. Strapless dresses add beauty to the dress. Shopping at places like Princess Polly, White Fox, and Pretty Little Thing show good dresses that match under this style. Usually casual dresses are cheaper because they don’t use as expensive fabric compared to formal dresses.
In order to participate in the homecoming theme you should consider how people in Paris dress. Paris is known for their flattering, delicate, and non-revealing clothing. Some of the dress types that would fit under this style are formal, and semi-formal dresses. So you should think about this when choosing your homecoming dress this year!
