Graduation is more than just a ceremony—it’s a full-day celebration of everything you’ve accomplished. And before you toss your cap or strut across that stage, there’s one essential part of the day that deserves just as much attention: the graduation get ready with me moment. Whether you’re doing a full beat with your besties, sipping mimosas with your fam, or just soaking it all in solo, what you wear before the gown sets the tone for your whole day.

This season, pajama and loungewear sets have officially claimed their spot as the ultimate GRWM uniform. With so many grads turning their morning routines into photo ops and TikToks, what you wear before the cap and gown matters more than ever.
