A good graduation party will make the end of your student life perfect. No wonder everyone tries to look their best for their graduation party day, especially girls pay a lot of attention to their graduation party look. It is a very important formal event in your student-life but to be honest graduation parties are not as formal as other events that take place during your life-time. Not to mention you will take some of the most memorable photos of your life at your graduation party. So having a dress which will make you look attractive and which is also age-appropriate is the most important thing you should consider before your graduation party. And today we will give you some tips about how to dress up for your graduation party.
1.For the basic look
You used to be busy with your studies and maybe didn’t care about your look during your time as a student. But, now that you have graduated, you should have all the time in the world to go shopping, plan a trip and dress yourself up. What’s more, the dress code of the school will be a bit loose for the graduation party giving you some room to experiment with your look.
So you can pay extra attention when straightening or curling your hair before going to the graduation party. This means you can try several hairstyles and finally pick the one that suits you the most.
You will also have plenty of time to learn how to make up, and wear eyeliner, mascara, blusher, and lipstick and you’re going to have a chance to get comfortable with your new look before the graduation party day arrives.
2. What to wear
The other thing you will be focusing on the most is the attire you will wear for the graduation party.
Since you need to wear a robe to attend the graduation ceremony first, and there might not be enough time for you to change your dress before the graduation party starts, you’d be better wearing your graduation party dress under the robe. Here are some tips for choosing the right dress to wear under the robe for your graduation party.
- It is a good idea to wear a dress with pockets. It is not very fashionable to take a purse to your graduation party these days, even a cross-body bag, won’t look very fashionable while taking photos with your classmates, not to mention your overall look will be affected by holding a purse or bag. So we suggest that you should try your best to take only the essential things, such as keys, phone, and a camera with you to the party.
- The length of your dress should be shorter than the robe’s length so that it won’t show from under your robe during the ceremony. A graduation robe will add enough bulk on its own, so a really full skirt will look strange under it and make you look too bulky. If you look for graduation dresses online, you will find the length of most dresses for graduation parties are short, which can be fully covered by the robe.
- Avoid black color dress. As the cap and robe will already be black so graduation dresses are usually of a different color.
- Adapt your dress style according to the weather. After all, you will be wearing that outfit for almost a full day. Wearing a warm fabric during hot weather can leave you feeling a bit sticky and bothered, so it’s best to go for light materials to keep you cool. Similarly, if the weather is warm, wear a fabric that is appropriate for warm weather.
- Choose a pair of shoes that are suitable for the occasion and also looks good. You need to wear the shoe for a full day. So picking a pair of shoes that are comfortable is really important. Shoes with heels are recommended; because they go well with the short length of your graduation party dress, and also help you in looking taller. In my opinion, with a pair of wedges or 2-3 inch heels, you will look elegant but still be able to walk around and even dance fairly easily. Some girls prefer to wear sexy, sky-high stilettos. In a certain sense, with the stiletto heel, you’ll look more fierce than while wearing the wedges, but be sure to practice walking in your tall shoes before the event date arrives.
