Why Purple Hoco Dresses?

Bold and romantic, purple is a popular color for homecoming dresses. Purple is associated with luxury and sophistication—just picture some luxury brands, how many luxury brands that use the color purple can you think of?

Purple is also associated with royalty, this is where the associations with luxury stem from. It’s also linked with creativity and confidence, wearing purple at homecoming symbolizes your independence and individuality, and gives you a boost on this night where you want to look and feel your best!

In contrast to the red and blue, purple homecoming dresses are a more unique homecoming choice which will make you stand out from the crowd.

Whether calming lavender, punchy plum, soft violet, or sophisticated dark purple, purple is a versatile shade range allowing you to choose between soft and romantic, or bold and dramatic.

Different shades of purple homecoming dresses are suited to different skin tones. For cool skin tones choose lilac, lavender and mauve, warmer tones work well with burgundy, aubergine, and deep plum. If you’re somewhere in the middle with a neutral skin tone, you will suit a wide range of purples.

Purple homecoming dresses work across different dress styles, short above the knee dresses are fun, flirty and great for dancing. Lavender, violet, and plum are accentuated by short silhouettes, and draw attention to your legs. Midi party dresses which sit on your mid-calf work well as a more modest option—mauve and orchid stand out subtly. You can also go for asymmetrical styles for a bit of drama, without going full length. Look for jeweled tones like amethyst to rock the sophisticated royal look.

How to Style a Purple Hoco Dress?

A purple hoco dress is easy to accessorize with silver or gold jewelry and heels in nude, black, or metallic tones.  

Silver or white gold complements cool purples like lavender and violet. Gold and rose gold work best with warmer purples like plum and wine tones.

For jewelry, consider a pendant or choker with strapless, or v-neck necklines. Skip a necklace with halter or high-neck dresses.

Tip: Base your jewelry tones on your dresses’ zippers and buttons.

Simple stud earrings or hoops add a subtle point of interest. Or for a more glamorous look, go for dangly earrings.

When it comes to bags and shoes, metallic heels or sandals in silver or gold will elevate your look.

What about hair and makeup? For shorter dresses, a half-up and half-down style draws the eye up. Longer dresses suit a low bun, or twisted updo. For the makeup, starting with the eyes, darker tones look great with smoky eyes. For the lips, light and nude tones complement dramatic eyes. For lighter dress tones, go bold with berry and wine tones.

You can further elevate your purple homecoming dress look and add a cherry on top with trendy add-ons like statement belts to cinch the waist, gloves for a sophisticated touch, or layer sparkly shrugs for an extra metallic touch.
