Graduation is so hard to dress for! On one hand you need an outfit that will still look great under those billowing grad gowns, but you also need something that will stand out on it’s own once you’ve finished the official ceremony!
Low key but high impact | The minimalist look is very on trend at the moment and it’s easy to see why. Single colour or colour blocked dresses are a good choice if you’re after a dress you can dress up or down, depending on how formal or informal your ceremony is. To keep this look interesting add a statement necklace – think chunky jewels or a layered boho styles.
Smart but chic | You’re a graduate who means business and ready to take on the world, so reach for a dress that reflects your new Sandberg-esque attitude. The ‘pencil’ dress is simple yet super flattering, so you really can’t go wrong with any of these. And when you’ve finished up with graduation, you’ll be able to break this out for those all important post-grad interviews and around the office of your first big adult-world too.
Popping prints | This style is all about giving people something extra to look at in between the folds of your dark ceremonial gowns. Florals are a safe bet especially for Summer ceremonies, but bold geometric or photographic prints are also all the rage right now too. And for an extra something to make this look stand out, contrast your dress colour with the colour of your grad gown.
Whatever you choose, the key is comfort. Graduation is big day and it’ll be a long day, so make sure you’re in something that’ll make you look and feel great!
