Are you graduating this year, aka in less than 1 month? If so, early congratulations! I’m super pumped for you and proud of you for this big accomplishment. I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences in 2018, and this year, I will graduate with my Doctor of Pharmacy degree! Woo-hoo! It’s been 6 years in the making so to say that I’m pretty excited is an understatement. Even though COVID-19 has canceled May graduations, it doesn’t mean that you can’t still dress up and take graduation photos! You’ve earned your degree no matter what is going on in the world right now.
While graduation is always a fun time, it can also be pretty nerve-wracking and a little scary. You may be moving to a new city, starting a new job, or heading to grad school, which means graduation is also a season of change. Before the real world hits you, let me share with you some graduation dresses that I found that are perfect for the big day! For my first graduation, I wore a fun off-the-shoulder white dress, and this year, I’m planning on wearing a navy blue off-the-shoulder dress.
One thing that I have noticed is that typically shorter dresses are more flattering with long, oversized caps and gowns. For the big day, definitely opt for something that you’re going to fill comfortable in because you could be sitting outside in the summer heat or sitting down for hours before it’s your turn to walk. I’m linking some cute neutral and color dress options as well as some comfortable shoes that are easier to walk in. There is literally nothing worse than tripping on stage because your heels are too high or slippery!
