Welcome to our Preference Round Lookbook Inspo for Fall 2025
It’s that time, girls!! You guessed it — Preference Round!! We’ve rounded up the prettiest dress + heel combos to help you walk into your final houses feeling confident, stylish, and ready to shine. This is your moment to leave a lasting impression, and we’re here to make sure you look and feel your absolute best.
PS – No sponsorships or affiliate links here! Just looks we love and had to share.
A quick reminder of what Preference round is prior to jumping in:
Preference Round is the last round of formal recruitment, and it’s the very dressiest! Girls typically wear cocktail dresses and heels. Some schools have IYKYK traditions where you wear specific colors this round (like UT, UGA, and Auburn). For others, you can wear any color you’d like.
The general look you’re going for here is something stylish you would wear to a wedding. However, if you can wear it to New Year’s Eve (think sequins, aggressive sparkles, too tight, etc.) you’ve gone too far!
Our coaches pulled together a collection of their top Preference round dresses to make shopping a breeze. Let’s get into it!
