22 Best Pakistani Convocation Outfits For Graduating Girls

What To Consider While Choosing a Convocation Dress?

There are a few things you should keep in mind before glamming up for your big event

• Dresses according to the weather: Make sure to choose your outfit according to the season. In winters, prefer wearing outfits of dark material like maroon, deep purple, midnight blue, etc. and thick as well. In summers, light colors like yellow, lime green, and baby pink are ideal because of the heat and sunlight; it would reflect back and not absorb it, unlike dark colors.
• What time of the day is it: The question arises, day or night? If your event is in the day time, you should favor wearing dresses with little or less embroidery and work with light jewelry as you don’t want to overdo yourself.
• Your physique: There is no doubt about the fact that your body structure plays a vital role in deciding what you wear, but it is the self-confidence that makes you look eye-catching. But if you have a short height, avoid wearing long dresses as it will dim your appearance a little.
• Hairdo: Functional hair styling is like putting stars in the sky; it will pump up your clothes, and your makeup will look better with it. You can go for a messy bun, a sleek ponytail, a loose braid if it is too hot for your hair to be left open, or you can give them loose curls. You should prefer going for a gel back if it is a night event look as it is in fashion. It all depends what is the texture of your hair is it thin or thick curly wavy or frizzy.
• Makeup- a perfect finish: Add a finishing touch with the right makeup, which, of course, will be decided according to the time of the day, and your clothing colour scheme. You should prefer wearing dark lip colors and more eye shadow at night time and vice versa. Make sure you are not wearing a dark lip colour with dark eye makeup.
• Be Confident: It is without a doubt that confidence is your best outfit. Make sure you are self-confident enough to pull out any look you choose to wear. Do not go for a look that looks good but is uncomfortable once you wear it, it will shatter your confidence.
