How to dress for graduation?
First of all you’re going to want to make sure you’re not only comfortable but also still mange to show off your personal style.
Here are three fun (but practical) tips when it comes to picking your perfect graduation outfit:
#1. Ensure you can move your arms.
It may seem silly but getting that perfect Insta pic throwing your cap will be wayyyy harder if wearing a tight fitting bardot sleeve.
#2. Make sure your outfit is just as comfortable to sit down in as when you’re stood up.
We’ve all been there – unreal outfit on images but in reality you can’t sit down, not comfortably anyway.
#3. Footwear is key.
Not only will your outfit be covered by a gown mostttt of the day so statement shoes are a must BUT they also need to be comfy as can be.
Tripping up on stage? No thank you!
What should I wear for my graduation?
A good stating point when deciding on what to wear for graduation is to pick out a key feature you’d like for your look.
For example, are you set on wearing a graduation dress or open to other options such as suits, jumpsuits, co-ords etc.
If wanting a particular colour, shape or fit, filter your searches by that.
Also, be sure to pick something you like, sure everybody else can think you look incredible but it’s what you like best that matters most.
