Light grey suit
A light grey suit with an open-collar shirt is the dressiest guest outfit that still suits a daytime ceremony, and the shirt and trousers alone are light enough under a gown.

A graduation calls for dressy casual to semi-formal clothes, for the graduate and for the family in the audience. Light suits, chinos with a pressed shirt, sundresses and midi dresses all fit; it is a celebration in daylight, so lighter colors and fabrics feel right.
If you are graduating, dress for the gown on top. Gowns are warm, so choose light, breathable fabrics, keep collars flat and hemlines no longer than the gown. Your shoes and the bottom of your outfit show as you cross the stage, so wear shoes you can walk in with confidence.
Outdoor ceremonies set their own rules: heels sink into lawns, so block heels, wedges or flats are the better choice, and bleachers and long programs reward comfortable clothes and a layer for the shade.
Graduation outfits to try on
Four light, celebratory outfits for graduates and guests. See them on your own photo before the day.
Button-down and chinos
An oxford shirt with navy chinos and loafers is smart enough for the photos and cool enough under a gown or on a sunny lawn.

White midi dress
Some schools ask graduates to wear white under the gown, and a white eyelet midi is a classic either way. Block-heeled sandals are steady on stage and on grass.

Floral sundress
A knee-length floral sundress suits an outdoor ceremony and photographs cheerfully; low strappy sandals make the walk across the lawn easy.

Step 1 / 2
Take a full-body photo
Stand back so your whole body is in the frame, head to toe, facing the camera. A mirror selfie or a photo someone takes of you both work. Fitted clothes and even light work best.

FAQ
What should a guest wear to a graduation?
Dressy casual: chinos or light trousers with a collared shirt, a light suit without a tie, or a sundress or a midi dress. It is a family celebration, so dress up a little, but not as for a wedding.
What should I wear under my graduation gown?
Something light and breathable, because gowns are warm: a light dress, or a shirt with chinos. Keep collars flat and hemlines no longer than the gown.
What shoes are best for an outdoor graduation?
Block heels, wedges, loafers or dressy flats. Stilettos sink into grass, and there may be a long walk from the parking lot and stairs up the bleachers.
