ของสะสม: Graduation Ready

What to wear to a graduation

A graduation outfit has to work in three settings: under the academic gown, in photos, and at dinner afterwards. Midi dresses with structure, such as the Genesis pleated taffeta silk dress or the Sabrina pleated midi dress, keep their shape when you sit and stand. Floor-length styles like the Dandelion and Eirlys sheath dresses suit evening celebrations, and the Serena peplum taffeta jacket gives a tailored option.

How to style a graduation outfit

Choose a neckline that sits well under the gown and hood: high, round and asymmetric necks frame the face in photos. Light colors stand out against a black academic gown. Keep your heels comfortable for walking across the stage, and add a blazer if the ceremony is outdoors.

Midi or maxi for graduation?

A midi is easier for the ceremony and for walking. A maxi works for the evening dinner or a formal graduation ball.

What can I wear after the ceremony?
