The end of April is near, and that’s always a sign that graduation season is almost here! It’s such an eventful time for those who are graduating, marking the start of new beginnings and so much more. Getting dressed for the occasion is one of the most exciting parts of it all. An exquisite dress is, of course, my go-to pick whether that’s something modest for the ceremony or an intricate piece for the after party. I love everything from white babydoll dresses to off-the-shoulder numbers. If you’re in the mood for an off-beat option, there are plenty of saturated hues and fun prints to pick from too. Keep scrolling for my favorite graduation looks that work for both guests and graduates alike!

Dresses Under $200

If you’re on a budget, you’ll pleased to know that there are some really gorgeous frocks out there under the $200 mark. For instance, this Astr the Label dress – it’s so versatile and will take you from graduation to vacation mode in a pinch. I’m also loving the simplicity of this bold tube dress. It’s just under $100 and can be accessorized to your liking.

Luxe Dresses

If you have a little more to spend, a graduation dress is definitely worth spending on. You’ll be in front of the camera nonstop, so you’ll want something figure-flattering and photo-worthy to fit the mood. I recently got this Self-Portrait dress and it’s absolutely regal. Once graduation is over, you’ll be able to wear it on vacation, to an all-white bachelorette party, baby showers and beyond.
