Dos and Don'ts for HOCO Night

• Don't wear floor-length dresses. The homecoming dance is not a prom. Opt for a short dress or tea-length dress.
• Consider the weather. If it's chilly, opt for a dress with long sleeves and wear tights.
• Jeans are a big NO! This is a semi-formal event, and you really should not come in a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
• You don't feel comfortable wearing high heels? Then simply avoid them, if you don't want to look silly on the dance floor. Instead, opt for ballet flats or kitten heels, they are cute, stylish, and comfy.
