What To Wear To Graduation

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Arkansas chapter.

You have been counting down to this day for months! Deciding on what is appropriate to wear to graduation can be stressful, though.  Your outfit will be covered the majority of the time, so try to keep it simple.

Find a bright, flirty, and fun dress that is comfortable and lightweight.  Pair it with some fun strappy sandals, nude, or maybe even bold patterned heels or wedges.  These options are sure to make a statement in your outfit.  When accessorizing, try to keep the jewelry down to just one standout piece.  A colorful bib necklace, a set of coordinating bangles, or bold chandelier earrings would be the perfect touch to complete your ensemble.

Other helpful tips:

  • Practice walking in your shoes beforehand so you save yourself the embarrassment of falling on your face in front of your entire graduating class.
  • Try different hairstyles with your cap to find what works best for you and that awkwardly weird shaped hat- honestly, it looks funny on everyone, so don’t feel bad about yourself.

Graduation is long and probably not the most exciting thing you could be doing, but it’s a celebration of your achievements!  Be happy you made it and don’t stress about what to wear. Keep it cute, simple and above all else, keep it classy.
