Choose the Best Graduation Dress For Your Special Day

When you are choosing a graduation dress for your high school reunion, it’s important that you choose something elegant and tasteful so that you can look your best. But if you have decided to “recycle” (re-wear) a graduation gown that you’ve previously worn as a teen, the process might be slightly more complicated. Because of peer pressure, many teenagers are choosing to wear their school’s old graduation gowns rather than trying to complete a new look. These “recycled” dresses for college can still be updated with beautiful patent heels and trendy gold jewelry or stylish strappy sandals, and they can still have that youthful appeal.

There are many options when selecting your “recycle” dress for college. The most difficult part is choosing a gown with which to compare your dress. Consider your hair color; if you have a dark hair color, consider a shorter length that is in earth tones. If you have light colored hair, consider choosing a longer version of your graduation dress in a rich color that will set off your gorgeous complexion.

You should also take into consideration your skin tone and whether or not you are likely to be tan or tanned in your work environment. Most people with dark hair colors are naturally tanned, but if this isn’t a possibility for you, consider a short version of your graduation dress that has brighter colors. A light-colored gown might be too dark if your skin tone is natural brunette.

There are also some beautiful options in designer dresses for college graduation gowns. The most popular type of dress for these occasions is a one-shoulder dress with a ruffled top. This print dress can easily be altered by simple changes in the hemline or sleeves. Other prints include stripes, polka dots, and polka dotted prints with elegant gown sleeves and full back or halter neck straps.

Another beautiful option for graduation dresses is a cap gown. A cap gown often comes with a matching headpiece, including a veil and/or flowers. If you want a more elaborate look, include a flower or even a jewel on your cap. Cap gowns are usually sleeveless, so you don’t have to worry about getting too warm underneath. If you are choosing a sleeveless cap gown, you can always have an add-on lined veil.

Knee-length dresses are another popular choice for college graduation day. These types of gowns can be either strapless or have a longer neckline. Many times, a more elaborate design will consist of a gathered skirt over a waistband, with a scoop-neck line or criss-crossing bodice. Knee-length gowns are an ideal choice if you wish to show off your legs and have a very feminine silhouette.
