Graduation season is upon us and we all know just how much that entails! Invitations, photographers, cap and gown, and last but certainly not least, a dress to wear under that cap and gown!
Now, we know there are a ton of options out there but there are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for the perfect graduation dress. You might want to stick to shorter dresses or midis so that it won’t hang out from under your gown. You may also want to avoid sleeves or hems that are super puffy or ruffled. These details may make your gown lay awkwardly.
So, with all these things in mind, let’s take a look at some dresses that we think would be absolutely perfect for your graduation day!
Let’s start with the classics! White dresses have always been a go to for graduations. There is just something about that crisp coloring when contrasted with the dark gown. There are so many different cut and styling options for white as well. You can easily style these with accessories or footwear that have fun pops of color or print. Just make sure those pops still look good with your gown. Or you could be on the extra side and swap out accessories and shoes after the ceremony!

A classic little black dress is also a solid choice! You can literally never go with an LBD. Black dresses are so easy to style too! You can go timeless with simple accessories like rhinestone studs or gold hoops and nude/solid heels or you can add some pizzazz with vibrant shiny earrings and bold heels. Again, just make sure you take into consideration how all this will look with your gown or wear more simple jewelry and shoes and change to the fun stuff later!

You might also be thinking that black and white are just too simple for you and you want something a little different. No worries! That’s a great choice as well! Go wild! It’s your graduation and you should feel good about what you are wearing! You can style dresses with vibrant or pastels with more classic accessories and still get the pop you desire!
