The end of school means two things: summer holidays and graduation! With both events being (arguably) the most anticipated moments of the whole year, now’s your chance to dress to the hills, put your best foot forward and close another school year with a bang.
And nothing says a special occasion like a gorgeous dress; indeed, some of you might have even purchased said dress. But for those who are still undecided about which look to go for, here are some sure-fire showstoppers that guarantee that ultimate High School Musical moment.
Little Black Dress
Every girl’s best friend and most devoted companion, the LBD has served women well for generations. There’s simply no other design that gets it right every single time. After all, it’s a fashion staple for a reason!
The best thing about an LBD is that they come in all kinds of cuts and designs, with some boasting oversized puffy sleeves, others trending for a flowy silhouette and others opting for a tighter structure that is endlessly flattering.
Plus, thanks to the plain black shade, you can have endless fun with accessories without running the risk of overpowering your look with too many colours and prints. This is where your personality shines through!
Soft feminine
For those who want to indulge their elegant, feminine side, a soft, flowy dress is the way to go. Think dusky pastels and flowery prints that bring that summer magic to any party.
Heavenly, soft, and classic occasion wear is just as timeless as the LBD and can be accessorized with understated jewellery for the ultimate party glam. What’s more, they can easily be customised to suit a day event; just add on a cute pair of sandals and some lippy and you’re BBQ-ready.
Boho
Not exclusive to the festival circuit, the boho style is perfect for anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable in all-out glam. Easily customisable to your style, the boho style is made up of easy-going, flowy silhouettes that are both comfortable and beautiful.
You can go all-out with accessories too; the beauty about the boho look is that there are no rules. Let this look tell people about you!
Y2K** **
That’s right, the 2000s are back and fashionistas can’t get enough of this fashionable piece of nostalgia. We’re talking oversized blouses, tight-fitting dresses, overblown knitwear, and statement accessories that don’t hold back.
Embody the decade with some chunky jewellery or a small clutch bag that can hold all the essentials. And when it comes to make-up, the bigger the better. Have fun with bold eyeshadows and lipsticks, pairing them with a cute braid or some butterfly clips.
