In general, every girl likes to dress up, so naturally, you can use this day to pick out your nicest outfit, a pair of heels and take graduation day by storm.

Dress for success is mantra, which is especially important on your graduation day

The little white dress

White is the symbol of purity and freedom. That is why, it makes for the perfect color for graduation. Pick out a nice white, flowy dress, which is going to give you a minimalistic, yet quite special look. Pair it with some platforms or a pair of heels in a nude color and a clutch bag in the same shade. When it comes to hair and makeup, since graduation is during the day, the less makeup you wear, the better. Let your hair flow naturally under the graduate cap and you are all set for your big day!

Choose color over simplicity

If you want to really make an everlasting impression on your graduation day, then why not try a dress in a bright color. Whether it is a dress in a specific color or a colorful print, you can experiment and really show off you character. Once again, we advise you to wear a flowy, midi dress, which isn’t too short. Pair them with heels or platforms in the same color (or a nude color if you are wearing a colorful print) and choose a hairstyle, which is going to emphasize the neckline of the dress. For example, an off the shoulder dress looks great with a low updo. In any case, we are sure all eyes are going to be on you.
