Homecoming is Semi-Formal. Just wear some dress pants a nice polo shirt/button up shirt, and some dress shoes. Just be comfortable and look good at the same time.

Usually guys at my school wear some dress pants, a polo or nice button up shirt. Some guys go as far as wearing a jacket too, but they usually end up taking it off.

As for shoes, anything that is comfortable, you don't want to have your feet hurting.

That goes for clothes too. If you are dancing, you are going to get hot. Don't wear something to layered and thick.

If anyone at my school showed up to Homecoming in a tux they'd look ridiculous. Then again, people have definitely done more ridiculous things in the past lol.

Ours is semi-formal. Nice dress pants, button down shirt. Maybe a jacket and tie but that's only for the entrance and pictures- they'll be gone within the first hour just like allll the girls ditch their heels.

For our homecoming day we do not have classes. We are allowed to bring guests and it usually is like a ball. So we all get dressed up in fancy suits and we head for a great day. Usually full of good food and very influencial.

Well first it depends on your school and what event it is. If it for a semi-formal homecoming dance then I would suggest:

A shirt and blazer with jeans-

Then you can wear some dress pants and just a nice button up shirt:

(Kinda like these guys but you dont need the tie and you can experiement with brighter colors)

IF the dance is formal then tuxes are best:

(That guys really souped but you get the idea)

Also, remember to color coordinate with your date :P
Have fun, good luck, and stay safe!
I hope this helped :D
