What to Wear for Graduation: From Ceremony to Celebration

Congratulations, graduate! Now that all the hard work is done, it’s time to graduate in style. Wondering what to wear for your graduation ceremony or under your cap and gown? The first step is to check your school’s dress code. Most schools have requirements regarding graduation dress length, style, and color. Generally speaking though, graduation dresses are short in length and not too risky in design. Trendy and stylish? Absolutely! Mini and revealing? Absolutely not. You want your dress to match the tone of the ceremony, and you want to make sure that you’re dressed appropriately. Also, the color of your cap and gown can be used as a guide for choosing your commencement dress color. A light colored gown calls for an ivory or white graduation dress, or even a soft pastel grad dress because a darker colored dress will show through the gown. If your gown is a dark color, you’ll have more flexibility in the shade you choose for your graduation dress without having to worry about it showing through your gown. Once you know your school’s dress code, you’ll want to consider the location of your commencement ceremony. If you’ll be outside in the summer sun, be prepared with a grad dress in a lightweight, breathable fabric so you don’t overheat! An indoor air-conditioned hall may have the opposite problem, so you might want to consider a grad dress with sleeves to avoid freezing.

When all the pomp and circumstance is over, it’s time to party with friends and family. For your graduation party, you can wear your commencement dress or switch it up for a fun print party dress or pastel summer dress. If it’s your party, you can wear what you want! Are you going to a friend’s graduation party? Then you’ll want to wear a cute summer dress or graduation party dress. If you’d like to check out even more party dresses, explore all of the fun options in the party dress section.

From the graduation ceremony to celebrations afterward, show off your picture-perfect style in one or more of the promotion dresses or grad party dresses offered here at PromGirl. Get a great graduation dress for less, and then snap an Insta-worthy pic for all of your friends to see!
