On May 8th I will be graduating from college! However, I don't know exactly what to wear… I don't wish to wear white, because my black graduation robes are quite boring! I'm hoping to wear a springy dress, I just don't know what sort of outfit would be appropriate! —Brooke
I think a college graduation calls for a fun yet somewhat formal dress or skirt and blouse combo, and dressy heels or wedges. It's not a fashion show and it's not a prom, so you don't want to wear something too flashy or revealing. It's a family event too and you'll probably go out to eat with family and friends afterward so think about what will make you feel comfortable yet stylish.Two more key factors when planning your outfit: The weather and the location. Will you be standing or walking on a grassy lawn most of the time, or will you be on solid ground? The answer will determine whether you can wear strappy heels or if you should opt for dressy wedges or even flats, if you prefer.
Also, be mindful of the weather. If it's going to be hot and humid, look for a sleeveless dress in natural fabrics like cotton that will breathe, especially if you're going to be wearing a sweltering hot polyester robe on top of your dress. If it's going to be breezy or chilly, bring a lightweight cardigan or cropped jacket to keep cozy. Travel light, bright a small clutch or chain-strap bag for personal items, or ask a family member to hold onto your wallet for you!
Here are three outfit ideas to help you get started:
Option 1: BRIGHT SHEATH + NUDE ACCESSORIES
Option 2: DRESSY SKIRT + PRETTY BLOUSE
Option 3: PRINTED DRESS + COLORFUL CARDIGAN
