When it comes to dressing for homecoming, there are a few things that guys should keep in mind. First and foremost, it's important to dress for the occasion. Homecoming is typically a more formal event than other school dances, so it's best to go with something more dressed up than your everyday jeans and T-shirt combo.
Homecoming is considered by most people to be a formal, or smart casual, event. It's not quite as formal as a business formal event, and it's definitely not a black tie event, so you don't need to worry about Black Tie attire.
What can you wear to homecoming as a guy?
If you want to cheat, and instantly look amazing, then go for the "suit no tie" look. This includes wearing an Italian-made suit, a white dress shirt (preferably solid pattern - read about the best Italian white dress shirts), and then either some Italian dress shoes or even some sneakers work fine also, as long as the rest of your outfit is top notch.
We have a number of fairly affordable options when it comes to mens suit, and not only will you be buying the suit for homecoming, you can wear it for your college interviews, your job interviews, or even for a first date at a fancy restaurant.
This is the beautiful thing about buying your first suit, although it may seem like a lot of money at first, you'll quickly begin to realize that it's an incredibly useful investment.
Personally, I would recommend either Sartorio Napoli or Kired for a first suit. Both of these options are very flexible and offer you something a little bit special. They are a perfect modern suit for a younger man, and will leave you feeling fresh and ready to take on the world.
Kired is perfect in terms of color, if you don't know what color to wear to Homecoming, then go for one of the classic suit colors, which can all be found below:
Can you wear jeans to homecoming?
It's not considered proper attire, as jeans are not considered to be formal, they are definitely considered by most to be casual. This means you have to be careful when wearing jeans to an event such as homecoming, as you don't want to make a fashion faux pas and stick out like a sore thumb.
It's better to err on the side of caution, and simply wear some Italian dress pants. Definitely do not wear shorts, or any sleeveless tops, as this is considered to be rude.
Can you wear sneakers to homecoming?
It's normally not recommended to wear sneakers to homecoming, as it's considered to be a semi-formal event, however you can wear sneakers as long as the rest of your outfit is fairly formal. For example, you could wear a suit with sneakers, or even just a dress shirt and pants with sneakers. Just make sure that the sneakers are clean and presentable.
If you're unsure about what to wear to homecoming, then it's always best to ask someone who has been to the event before, or the organizers of the event whether something is considered to be acceptable, or just play it safe and dress more formally.
Choosing a Homecoming Attire Outfit: Hot or Cold?
Another thing to consider when choosing your homecoming attire is the weather. If it's cold out, you'll want to make sure you have a jacket or coat that will keep you warm. And if it's hot, try to pick something light and airy that won't make you too sweaty.
If it's going to be a hot night, try to go for specific materials. For example, cotton or linen. These are perfect materials to get you through a hot night of Homecoming. The fabric you chose is 100% based on how hot the weather will be.
If it's going to be cold, instead, you can wear something like a wool suit. Or you can do the most intelligent thing when it comes to buying a suit, and buy a 4-season suit, for example the Sartorio Napoli Mohair suit will be good for summer, winter, spring, and autumn, this unique advantage means you only really need one suit.
Accessories
Finally, don't forget about accessories. A nice watch or belt can add some personality to an otherwise plain outfit, and dress shoes can make a big difference in terms of overall style. So take your time picking out the perfect homecoming outfit – after all, it's one of the most important nights of the year!
