High school graduation pictures are a lasting record of a celebration in which one door closes and another door opens. It is a rite of passage for high school seniors getting ready to embark on a new adventure. Because of the importance, meaning, and longevity of these pictures, it is crucial to consider how you want to look in them.
Most people these days choose to do outdoor photos, both in their caps and gowns and also in their celebratory clothing. It is important not to choose an outfit for under your cap and gown that blends into your surroundings; however, choose something that you feel comfortable in and highlights your best features. Solid colors often translate well in a picture, whereas prints can seem overwhelming. Also, consider that you may want pictures with your friends, and you don't want your outfits to clash with one another.
Girls often want to get extremely dressed up for their picture, but it is better to keep things more simple and go for a natural look. Wear make-up that you would wear out on a regular day and dress up just one feature. For example, wear a darker lipstick or darker eye shadow, but remember to only do this with one feature. Also remember that graduation is an emotional event, and your eye make-up may run. Don't wear too much of it, and bring a bag for touch-ups. For your hair, wearing it up can create sharp facial angles whereas when your hair is down it creates a softer image. Sundresses are perfect for graduation, as it can get hot during the ceremony.
Guys should be careful not to use too much gel in their hair, and they should also wear softer colors that go well with what the group is wearing. Full suits are rarely worn at graduation ceremonies, but nice slacks, usually in a light summery color, paired with a dress shirt look great. Also remember that your pants and shoes will show beneath your cap and gown, so dress well and avoid wearing your favorite pair of sneakers.
