Outfit Ideas for making a Style Statement in Graduation Party

A graduation party is one of the best moments of life, where students, their parents, family members, teachers, friends, and relatives can come together to celebrate. It is also an occasion to dress up and show off your style.

But, there is a question: what do you wear to a graduation party?

Whether you are a student or a woman in her forties invited to the party, you need to choose clothes that the occasion demands. Choosing the right attire is essential to keeping things appropriate for the occasion.

What you wear the graduation party will depend a lot on where the party is being held, what the activities are, after party plans, themes, and your personal style as well.

The No-brainer: A Little Black Dress

I guess every woman has at least one little black dress in her wardrobe. For a graduation party, go for a more elegant style than being sexy. 😉

The safe Choice: A Floral Dress/Skirt

When it comes to what to wear to a graduation party, a colorful floral dress can work wonders for you. It doesn’t matter what age you are in, a short floral print dress can be your go-to dress for a graduation party. Most of the graduation parties are held in the garden or in the backyard areas. For a lovely, outdoor graduation party, choose a colorful dress with prints like flowers, leaves and other nature-inspired prints. Pair the dress with a wedge sandal and a sling bag, and you are ready to make a style statement.

Be The Outdoor Star: Garden party

What to wear to a graduation party in the garden? Show off your style with a stylish tulle dress, hat and jacket for a garden party. Garden parties are a perfect place to try out a long skirt, top, jacket, and wear a fancy hat to complete the look. If you like wearing heels, go for wedges as they are easy to walk on the grass. A cross body bag will complete your look and help you create the style statement.

Let’s Go All In: Fancy Party Dress

While some graduation parties are held in the backyards, some prefer to hold fancy parties as well. This is the perfect time for you to wear a fancy dress with bold colors. Colorful fits and flare designs are perfect for graduation parties. They are stylish and appropriate for a graduation party and look good on everyone.

Choose from those spring colors like yellow and bright pink to make your look standout. You can wear head accessories if you like to complete the whole look. With just little effort you can look fabulous and this is your answer to the question what to wear to a graduation party.

Meeting In Between: Semi-dressy looks/Blouse + Skirt

Don’t like to be super dressed up? Also not a fan of just being casual? Then choose those fun semi-dressy looks for a graduation party. Just keep in mind to use those spring colors to add the fun!

Casual Look

Some parents hold their kid’s graduation party indoors like in clubs or community centers. It means you can pretty much wear anything. If you are a mother, aunt or grandmother, you can pull off a great look with a causal assemble of jeans and tees. Just because you are older than the kids, it does not mean you cannot look fun and careless.

You can try a graphic tee and leather jacket to look cooler than what they think of you.

Dress up your jeans a little by wearing a lace duster.

For the Pants/Shorts Lovers

Not a huge fan of dress or skirt? You have more solutions than jeans. Wear a blazer with dress pants, or a dressy top with chic shorts.

How to Choose the right outfit

Most of the graduation parties are fun and casual, but some can be a bit formal as well. Before you pick out the outfit for your graduation party, consider the location. If it’s indoor and casual, you can wear any kind of outfit or choose any style. If it’s an outdoor party like a garden party, floral prints and dress or skirt will do the trick.

You also need to consider your age. If you are a mom or aunt or basically a woman in her forties, choose outfits that are colorful, fun, and not too revealing. Choose outfits that make you look photo-ready so that you will look great on every picture.

The Bottom-Line

If you are looking for the right answer to the question of what to wear to a graduation party, you have plenty of choices. Consider a few things and choose the outfit that matches the occasion and your personal style preference.
