Feminine Florals Graduation Outfit

Products: Dress – Lulus, Shoes – DSW, Earrings – Francesca’s

For a spring commencement ceremony, consider wearing a season-appropriate floral print dress.

Worn with espadrille wedges, this v-neck frock makes for a cute yet comfy graduation outfit. The tea length of this dress also makes it a bit more upscale than a normal floral dress might be.

Grab some trendy tassel earrings to finish the look off. 

The Classic LBD

Products: Dress – Lulus, Earrings – J.Crew, Necklace – Eve’s Addiction, Shoes – Lulus

A little black dress is always a fashionable and classic choice for special occasions, and graduation is no exception. 

Stand out in the crowd with this tiered dress that’s a little more interesting than your typical LBD. Pair it with some diamond earrings and a personalized roman numeral bar necklace — you can get this necklace engraved with the date you’re graduating!

Finish the look off with simple black ankle strap heels.

Bold Brights

Products: Jumpsuit – Nordstrom, Earrings – Kendra Scott, Shoes – DSW

This year’s Pantone color of the year is Living Coral so why not embrace that bright color on your graduation day?

This amazing coral jumpsuit is sure to stand out in a crowd and of course will be fashionable. Pair it with these stunning teal earrings for that extra burst of color.  

Pair the color combination with neutral shoes as not to overload on the color.

Polished Perfection

Products: Dress – Lulus, Necklace – Banana Republic, Shoes – DSW

This lilac satin dress is perfect for a more upscale graduation ceremony.

To look perfectly put together, pair the dress with a simple and delicate necklace and some classic nude pumps. This look is all about elegance and the simplicity of this outfit definitely gives off sophisticated vibes.

Chic Separates

Products: Shirt – Madewell, Pants – Gap, Skirt – Macy’s, Shoes – Macy’s, Watch – Dillard’s

Not that into one-piece styles? You totally can (and should!) wear chic and sophisticated separates. We wanted to give you two options here: tailored trousers and a full skirt, each in a polished navy blue. Both picks would look so stylish with this cute light blue swiss ruffle shirt and white flats.

Keep your accessories practical, but fun. Try a watch with a navy blue strap to complete the look!
