5 Looks That Are Perfect for Graduation

by Alexandra Thurmond, Teen Vogue

Graduation is a major milestone for everyone. Whether you’re graduating from high school or college, it is the culmination of years of hard work, late nights studying, endless group projects—and hopefully lots of fun, too. Most schools still go the traditional route, dressing students in caps and gowns, but no matter what your grad ceremony may look like, you’ll still want to look your best on the big day—and we’ve got you covered.

When picking out the perfect graduation outfit, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind, starting with the length of your gown. Whatever dress, skirt, or pair of pants you choose, try to be sure they fall an inch or two above the gown’s hemline so that they don’t peek out beneath. You’ll also want to note your gown’s neckline to be sure it works with your top and doesn’t distract from the overall look. Read on to find your A+ grad outfit!
