Our Favorite Graduation Dresses: Perfect For Your Big Day

So you’re graduating – finishing up your exams and making sure you have all your credits can be stressful, and finding a graduation outfit is probably the last thing you want to deal with. Here is an easy guide to give you some ideas for what to wear for the big day. Not every style will suit everyone so we’ve included a range of our favourite colours and styles to help you pick an ideal outfit for your graduation.

Black dresses

Black is always an easy option, but easy doesn’t mean it won’t look good. Without clashing with your gown anything black will look sleek and sophisticated.  It’s easy to accessorize and will look good with both a nude and a coloured pair of heels.

Floral

Summer graduations are a perfect time to bust out the floral dresses. Wearing a pattern is a great contrast to the gowns and is ideal for the season. We love to see florals paired with plain-coloured shoes, and bonus points if the colour ties into your dress.

Mini

If you’re not one to opt for a maxi dress, a mini is perfect for a more casual style. While it can be dressed up with heels, you’ll still be rocking a cocktail look that will carry you through the day and the night. Opting for flats is a cute look that will give you a more casual and comfortable vibe.

Pants set/Jumpsuit

Dresses may not be your thing so here are some cute options for two-piece sets and jumpsuits. Easy to sit in and comfortable, a pair of pants can also provide you with a more sophisticated look. Style with heels or flats for a stylish and easy grad look.
