It seems to be an unspoken rule to wear a white dress to graduation, but sometimes a plain white dress might need a little pizzazz. If you're like me and want to stand out in the sea of white that will be there on your special day, read on.
Texture
So maybe you don't want to necessarily accessorize, so why don't you focus on the dress part. You can choose from plenty of dresses that are lace, eyelet, ribbed, the list goes on. You don't need to add other pieces to your outfit if you don't want to and often times textured dresses are trending, so check out stores around you and stores online to find that perfect texture for you.
Pops of color
Obviously white is very very neutral, and sometimes it can get boring. If you love bright colors, or even pastels, then this is your time to work them. Get a cute pair of colorful heels, add in pops of color with fun jewelry and your outfit will go from basic white to cute and summery.
A dress with a different back
Lace up back dress
So this kind of goes along with the whole texture idea, but if you want to add some character to your outfit choose a dress that has an original back. Lace up backs are very popular and cute, there are also cut out dresses in the back as well as open back. The decision is really up to you and you cannot go wrong
Fun prints
You could do so much with a printed dress nowadays, and graduation is one of the best times. There are a ton of floral dresses, especially perfect for the season, and you could even get a dress that is part white and part another color and print. There are so many options to choose from but they all will look amazing.
Pastel dress
OK, this is kind of breaking the rules but where done right it could look tasteful and so darn cute. You could go with whatever pastel color you want, a few of my favorites are pink and yellow, and you will stand out but also look adorable at the same time
I hope that you have an amazing graduation and that these ideas helped you with your outfit! Take a ton of pictures, because I know I will!
