These are the Cutest 2023 Homecoming TrendsNetflix

Homecoming 2023 is going to be one 👏 for 👏 the 👏 books 👏. If it's your first HoCo ever, you'll get to experience everything from the football game to the dance itself for the first time. Or maybe you're a senior and it's your last year with all your friends — the *perfect* excuse to go all out with some homecoming 2023 fashion trends. Sure, you still have a couple of months to prep your HoCo plans to perfection, but there's no time like the present to start browsing some fashion trends and dreaming up some inspo.

One way to spot a rising trend is to look at the aesthetics of recent movies and TV shows, like the all-black gothic vibes of Jenna Ortega's statement collars and Mary Janes for Wednesday Addams. The unapologetically sparkly pink vibes of Barbiecore (which drops on July 21st, BTW) will undoubtedly be everywhere come homecoming szn, too. '80s trends like iridescent sequins and bows that are equally bold and dainty are trending hard, as well as rosettes (those 3D flowers that have been popping up on Pinterest in the form of choker necklaces or on dresses) that Carrie Bradshaw would've lived for in the early 2000s.

If you want to incorporate one of these 2023 homecoming trends into your lewk, we've put together a guide to some of our favorites to help kickstart your search.

The '80s are back

Ruffles? Check. Bright neon colors? Absolutely. Metallics? A total must-have for this trend. The sparkly, shiny fabrics will look bomb under the light of the dance floor as you break it down to Taylor Swift remixes and Ice Spice songs.

Rosettes everywhere

You may have spotted those little (or large) 3D flowers from the early 2000s on your Pinterest feeds recently, because this trend is big. Snag a mini dress adorned with rosettes or accessorize with a rosette ribbon choker necklace.

Statement bows

Even if it's traditional for people at your school to wear short dresses to homecoming, you can still bring the drama with a long bow train. Or, opt for a little bow detailing in the front (so Ariana Grande coded).

Barbiecore

Embrace your inner ~Barbie girl in a Barbie world~ with hot pink dresses in ruched, ruffled, or one-shoulder varieties. Get ready for fashion doll's signature color to legit take over HoCo 2023.

Iridescent sparkles

As T. Swift said, "I can still make the whole place shimmer." ✨ If you wore sequins last year and want to keep the sparkly vibes going, try a subtle rainbow variation that's melt-y, holographic, or ombre.

Wednesday Addams

Gothic frills, lace-up detailing, corset tops, and bows are all you need to achieve peak Wednesday Addams energy. You could even film a cute HoCo transition TikTok to a Wednesday sound when you recreate her iconic dance on the big night.

Whimsical novelty shoes

These heels are a ✨work of art✨. From gilded butterflies to light-as-air feathers and grassy beaded sandals, your shoes will be so good that they'll deserve an IG post of their own.

Feather detailing

Feather trims, feather gloves, feathers paired with sequins — we've been loving it all. Dig out that feather boa you bought for Harry Styles' Love On Tour if you want to go the extra mile.
