With the school year coming to an end and the summer approaching, graduation season is among us. Your graduation day is the day to celebrate and honor the college career that you have worked so hard to complete. This post is all about how to achieve a trendy and fashionable graduation look.
This year, summer trends are all about playing with size and structure of prints and stripes. While visiting the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, I spotted this gorgeous graduate who wore the large stripes trend with class and sass! The size and positioning of the large stripes on the dress are great for giving the body shape. Achieving the striped dress trend is easy and flattering; it is all about the size of the stripes and the positioning of the stripes on the dress. In order to remain appropriate for the graduation occasion, knee length dresses are always the way to go. Knee length dresses are also great because it is short enough for a graduation gown to fully cover yet long enough to be an appropriate length.
I was drawn to this Fashionista not only because of her trendy striped dress but also because of her dainty accessory choices including a Pandora charm bracelet, ring, pendant necklace, studded earrings and her gorgeously decorated graduation cap. Wearing accessories is always important as it gives character and charm to every look. However, graduation day is the day when your biggest accessory is the celebration of the end of your college career—so wear it with style!
One Simple Change: After your special day has ended, there is no reason not to wear that trendy graduation dress again. A great way to take a trendy striped summer dress from this occasion to a more casual one is to add this summer’s shoe trend: the flatform! These platform sandals are perfect for adding both height and character to the look. Wearing a fun fabulous piece for your graduation can be a great investment for your summer closet as well!
