It must be nice when some schools allow you to wear anything you want for your graduation. However, here's for the girls (including me) who have a specific dress code to follow in order to walk across the stage.
All-Black Dresses
My school's graduation dress code, if I want to wear a dress, is that the dress must be all black and no longer than the gown. If this is you, then here are some suggestions:
The black graduation dress is best paired with all black heels. A high neck dress is best paired with large hoops and maybe a small pendant necklace.
All-White Dresses
If the dress must be white (true white, not an off white) here are some suggestions:
Least modest: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
In the middle: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Most modest: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The white graduation dress is best paired with all black, brown, white, or nude heels. A wrap neck, v-neck, or any low neck dress is cute with a choker, pendant necklace and studs or neutral colored statement earrings.
Black Pants: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
This outfit is paired with a black skirt, but you can alternate it with pants if you like. The outfit is paired with black hose and black classic shape pumps. If you plan to wear a choker neck, then I recommend a small necklace (or none at all) and large earrings. If you are wearing a necklace, studs are also fine.
Shoes
If you are a heel person and want to wear heels, feel free to wear them. However, if you are not used to heels, then I highly do not recommend heels because you will walk awkward in them. All options are closed toe and closed back because most graduation dress codes require them. If you are allowed to wear open toe/open back, feel free. But if you have to wear closed toe/back, here are heels and flats that I recommend in black, white, brown, and nude.
Black: heels, flats
White: heels, flats
Brown: heels, flats
Nude: heels, flats(in blush)
If you plan to wear heels to graduation, BREAK THEM IN BEFORE YOU WEAR THEM. It feels awkward when a person tries to wear a new pair of heels, and some barely walk in them. Or even worse, they trip and fall. And that happens every single year. Also feet cushions are key for a comfortable pair of heels. I prefer gel or memory foam because they feel home-y to the feet.
I hope this guide helps those who are looking for amazing graduation outfit ideas under a strict dress code. For all of the 2017 graduates, congratulations and I hope for the best for your future! Desi, out!
