Different Aesthetics to Wear at Your College Graduation Ceremony

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

If you want to embrace your style aesthetic for college graduation, you’ve come to the right place!

College graduation is one of the last times to show off your style to your peers so, why not go out with a bang? Embracing your aesthetic is the perfect way to have heads turning and have people remembering your name and outfit for years to come!

Source Vancover is Awesome describes the soft girl aesthetic as Y2K or VSCO aesthetic but has more girly and dainty vibes to it. Ariana Grande is a perfect example of embodying the soft girl style.  

Showing up to graduation ceremony in pastels and your highest heels will have you feeling like you’re on cloud nine. To add to the look, try winged eyeliner and make sure to wear lots of fun, child-like accessories. Some hair clips or chunky rings would be the perfect touch for this aesthetic!

Minimalist  

The minimalist aesthetic focuses on simplicity and functionality. Minimalism Made Simple explains that to pull off this style you should avoid bold patterns and bright colors. Neutral colors will be your best friend and small dainty jewelry will pair perfectly with the look.

Business Casual  

Business casual is a great look to wear if you want to display your inner businesswoman while still looking chic and relaxed. Techfashionista says pencil skirts or slacks are a great place to start, and a blouse or blazer will pair beautifully. Finally, adding a watch, stud earrings, or a headband to the fit will enhance the business casual style.

Boho

The Aesthetic Shop by Lu Amaral says the boho style is a free-spirited look that incorporates neutral colors and natural textures. To achieve this style, look out for loose, flowy, long skirts and dresses.

Earthy colors such as beige, copper, and brown will enhance the boho aesthetic as well. Beaded bracelets and long earrings will complement the look perfectly.

Instagram Baddie  

The Instagram baddie aesthetic is perfect if you love bold colors and all things bling. This style is very done-up and incorporates a lot of trending looks. The Aesthetic Shop shares their views on this aesthetic and expresses that big accessories and bright colors like red, pink, and metallics are best when strutting this style.
