Experts calculated that preparing a student for graduation will take about 120 thousand rubles. Evening Moscow spoke with the famous fashion designer and blog author Olga Kove and found out how much this amount corresponds to reality.
The shopping list is divided into two parts: clothes for the last call and clothes for the prom itself. For presenting diplomas at school, they often take a classic suit, apron or dress – a basic wardrobe that can be used in the future.
But for the ball, graduates really need amazing handbags, shoes, dresses, makeup, hairstyle…. To save money, I recommend renting clothes. Graduation happens only once in a lifetime, and even if some gorgeous and stunning dresses are added to your wardrobe, it is unlikely that you will find a use again.
You can combine both events: for example, buy a gorgeous corset that can be combined with a graduation suit and a skirt for the evening part.
The cost of a hairdresser and manicure in Moscow now is about 5,700 rubles per procedure. To save money, you do not have to hire a specialist at home, but rather come to the salon yourself.
In my opinion, if we talk about some expensive dresses, shoes and accessories, it can reach about 120 thousand rubles. If we take a mass market, a regular store, then in addition to the design, shoes, nails and also a dress for rent, the total cost will be 25-30 thousand. That means roughly 5k for the shoes, 10k for the dress, and another 5k for the design. If you add a manicure and some small things like accessories, you only get about 30k for your prom look.
Emphasize grace
Long, thin scarves around the neck are back in fashion. It is combined with matching dresses. And sometimes you can find models wearing a stitched scarf. At the same time, the scarf itself can be purchased as an accessory so that it becomes, for example, an accent in the image. This wardrobe item will cost 300-500 rubles.
Shoes won’t be helpful
Another trend for men is sneakers instead of classic shoes to match the suit. Of course, you should not choose massive models. It is better to take a laconic and calm pair. The average cost of such shoes starts from 6,000 rubles.

For men, the fashion world presented comfortable models with matching shirts and trousers. A white T-shirt is usually worn under the shirt to make it look more casual. This mixture will cost from 5000 rubles.
For thin legs
Among women’s shoes, mules or models with a “spiral” that wraps like a snake along the leg will be in demand. This spiral can be hard (for example, with rhinestones) or soft (ribbon). The average price of this model is 3000 rubles.
Velvet, lace, corsets
Many Gothic films and series were released this year that draw the attention of viewers to the costumes of past eras (the same sensational film about the love story of Dracula). Pay attention to velvet, corsets, transparent fabrics and lace. These fabrics will emphasize the soft nature feel and will definitely make you stand out from the crowd. The corset will cost 3000 rubles.
Almost a flower fairy
Clothes in pastel shades are still relevant: soft pink, blue, lilac, lemon. The off-shoulder style is not out of trend. This silhouette of the dress will visually make the girl light and fragile.
Nobles only
Empire-style dresses also became very popular: high-waisted, in the style of Natasha Rostova, the heroine of the novel “War and Peace.” We’re pretty sure this is what she wore to her first ball. The high waist gently highlights the chest, creating a feeling of lightness and nobility. This model will cost about 5,000 rubles.
And curls again
The Internet is starting to remember 90s movies about graduation. And now the girls plan to repeat Julia Styles’ hairstyle – a bun filled with small curls. This can be done at home or in the salon for 3000-5000 rubles.
The spitting image of Aphrodite!
Antique motifs in clothes are also relevant. High waist, soft pleats, one-shoulder asymmetry, long flowing fabrics and the effect of an elongated silhouette make the party look noble, but at the same time very comfortable. You can add a decorative bracelet on your forearm to your look. Then you will definitely resemble a Greek goddess. In the markets, a one-shoulder outfit can be found for a few thousand rubles.
Boys, more polish!
Men’s hair styling like in the 40s is another trend. To do this, you need to apply gel to your hair on both sides of the parting closer to the temple. Both extreme accuracy and a little negligence are welcome – this design will not spoil anything. The salon will cost about 1000 rubles.
Talk about points will wait
Graduation, exams and admissions are a nervous time for a child.
“During this period, the home should become a place of unconditional care. The teenager has enough pressure from the outside,” explains child psychologist Lyudmila Vysotskaya. – Limit conversations about results and exams, offer to relax together: watch your favorite movie, cook a dish according to a family recipe.
At the same time, the child should not be distracted from learning. It is important to understand: now its success depends on preparation.
– Don’t control, but offer help: go to the library together and look for the necessary materials. Send your child important tables if you find them online, or prepare soothing tea, advises psychologist Lyudmila Vysotskaya.
DIY hairstyle
This year, the fashion for careless and imperfect hairstyles continues. How to make a trendy messy bun?
Gently curl your hair with a large curling iron or roller to create soft waves – it will make the bun look fuller and more textured.
Gather your hair into a high ponytail on the top of your head, but do it without a comb, using your hands – this way the hairstyle will immediately be seen to have a slight negligence effect.
Divide the ponytail into two sections, wrap each into a loose rope, then wrap the ropes around the base of the tail – don’t try to make it completely smooth.
Secure the bun with hairpins and hairpins, then release 2-3 thin strands from your face and twist them slightly – it will make the look softer and more romantic.
