There were a couple fashionable trends that made an appearance at Greenwood’s Homecoming dance this weekend. A couple of more popular ones included lace, glitter, cutouts, and strapless/thin straps. You may be wondering, well what about the guys? Well unfortunately, the guys at Greenwood aren’t very creative when it comes to dances. Most wore a collared shirt that was either white or grey, a tie that matched their dates dress, and black dress pants. Let's take a deeper look into some of the trends that the ladies were wearing.
Lacy Dresses:
Because lacy dresses are both chic and classy, they are a staple at every school dance. Many lace dresses are between mid-thigh and knee length, often with high necklines.

There were two main types of glittery dresses. The first was covered in sequins, and was definitely eye-catching. The second was more understated, still covered in glitter, but less shiny.
Cutouts:

Cutouts are a fairly recent trend, but they are already very stylish and sophisticated. Many cutouts are on the side of dresses, but some options include backless and cutouts on the top.
Strapless/Thin Straps:

Strapless dresses are a school dance classic, but thin strap dresses are rather new to the scene. An evolved version of the strapless, it provides the look without the constant struggle of pulling the dress up all night.
