Classic attire, such as a tailored suit for men or a chic dress for women, can be appropriate for any graduation ceremony. Pair it with a pair of elegant shoes and minimal accessories to exude confidence and style. However, it's essential to consider the formality of each event.

When researching what to wear to a graduation ceremony as a guest, check the invitation for any dress code requests. If there aren’t any, we recommend a smart casual approach. Alicia says, “Even though you’re there to watch your loved one shine, it’s still fun to wear something that makes you feel special as a way to mark the occasion.”

In our experience, graduation parties are usually less formal than the ceremony, so definitely prioritize expressing your true personality in your graduation party outfit choices. For Grads: Casual Parties: For more relaxed casual festivities, midi dresses, jumpsuits, or a chic short dress are all great options.
