Choosing a graduation dress
The gown covers most of the dress, so think about what shows: the neckline, the hem and your shoes. A knee length or midi dress sits best under a gown, and a simple neckline works with the hood. Pick a colour that stands out from the gown for the photos afterwards. Choose shoes you can cross a stage in, and a fabric that stays cool under an extra layer.
What to wear to graduationWhat should you wear to graduation?
A knee length or midi dress in a smart fabric is the usual choice. It sits neatly under the gown, suits the ceremony and works for photos and lunch afterwards.
What colour dress is best for graduation?
White and other light colours are popular because they stand out against a dark gown in photos. Any colour you feel good in works, as long as it suits a daytime ceremony.
