What to Wear to Your Friend’s Graduation

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

As graduation season approaches, so do the ceremonies and parties! Discover options of what to wear below.

Most importantly, consider the graduation venue. If it is taking place on a field, avoid heels at all costs (unless you’d like to take a tumble and waddle around with one snapped heel for the rest of the afternoon) and bring sunglasses as well as an umbrella (don’t be caught without one, unexpected downpours seem to love graduations). If it takes place inside, grab a light cardigan to slip on if you get chilly.

You can’t go wrong with your favorite sundress. Dress it up with a colored cardigan or denim jacket, necklace and wedges. 

 

 

A maxi dress is sophisticated and trendy. Adding a belt at your waist will give shape back to your figure amongst all of the fabric.

 

Overall, as far as attire goes, graduation is dressy-casual. Wear basic pieces and add dressy elements and you’ll look great.
