Most universities don’t have any rules when it comes to dress code, so when it comes to choosing graduation dresses and specifically the length, it’s all about what makes you feel comfortable and incredible! If you’re wearing a cap and gown, the likelihood is that during the actual ceremony, you won’t see much of your graduation dress, unless you choose a maxi dress or a jumpsuit. So, the main thing to consider is what you want to wear for the celebrations after your graduation. This could be a mini dresses, a midi dress, a maxi dress or a co-ord if you’re not massively into dresses. The usual favourite for a graduation dress would be a midi length, as you’ll be super comfortable getting up and down from your seat and walking across the stage. However, you should follow your style, so your graduation dress can be any length!

Graduation dresses can be any colour! Some people want to find out what colour their graduation stole is (the usually satin part that sits at the top of your gown) and then match their look to that. Other people simply want to wear their favourite colour so they feel confident about their celebrations after graduation. Wearing white dresses for graduation is also very popular, as it will go with your gown no matter what colour you choose. The same goes for classic little black dresses at graduation; they're timeless, classic and effortlessly stylish. Choosing graduation dresses is all about what makes you feel incredible, so that should be your main focus.

Choosing the right shoes to go with a graduation dress or outfit is all about what you feel comfortable and confident in. If you can confidently walk in 5-inch heels and want to wear them, then go for it! If you’re not as confident walking in heels, the last thing you want to be worrying about when walking across the stage is your heels and how you’re walking, as you’ll want to take it all in and enjoy the experience. So, as long as your shoes are nice and presentable, wear whatever you want with your graduation dress! This could be cute ballet flats, stilettos or anything in between.

Absolutely! If you’re not a dress person, there are so many different graduation outfits to make your confidence skyrocket on your special day. A great option is a jumpsuit, as they look effortlessly stylish without much styling needed at all and some people feel more comfortable with the trousers than a graduation dress. Another stunning option for your graduation outfit would be wide-leg trousers with a satin shirt, whether you choose a co-ord or mix and match some of your favourite pieces. If you’re a suit kind of person, a stunning tailored suit will look impeccable as an alternative to graduation dresses.
