What colors and decorations are in fashion?
The choice of color is primarily influenced by the age of the graduate. After 9th grade, it is better to choose soft pastel or bright, but discreet shades, the style of the outfit is modest, more closed than for older girls. It is recommended to exclude black color. After 11th grade, the look can be bolder, brighter and richer.
In order to decide on the shade of the dress, you need to choose one that emphasizes the color of your eyes and hair. The correct selection of color is primarily influenced by the girl’s color type, which is determined by her natural hair color.. There are four of them:
- Winter – hair the color of dark chocolate or black. Colors of outfits: black and white, rich reds, greens, blues.
- Spring – blonde with a golden tint. Dresses are suitable in rich warm shades: yellow, peach, green.
- Summer - all shades of hair from light brown to chocolate. Outfits can be either cold shades: blue, lilac, pearl, or warm pastels.
- Autumn. For chestnut or red hair, items in rich reddish tones are suitable.

- black and white and gray classic dresses;
- outfits in milky, turquoise and coral colors;
- models of rich ruby, sapphire and emerald shades;
- dresses in pastel colors.
