- Try to look for a look that you canreuse on other occasions, make the most of it!

What to wear to a graduation

Long or midi dress

Because of its design, the long dress is usually reserved for more formal events and evening ceremonies, so if you opt for it we recommend combining it with more minimalist accessories, natural makeup and loose or semi-up hair to not look like you're going to a wedding.

One of the best alternatives is the midi dress, whether the graduation is day or night you can choose this versatile and elegant cut. If you want to give a different touch to your style, we recommend a midi dress with simple lines and betting on a satin fabric and taking a risk with a fun and youthful print that gives character to the look.

Short dress

Because going short and very elegant is more than possible, choose a design that suits your silhouette and try not to be too short for protocol and for your own comfort. We advise you to stay away from transparencies, plunging necklines and tight-fitting designs.

With a short dress you will be able to show off your legs and shoes, so keep this in mind when preparing for the graduation. Satin fabrics, asymmetrical necklines and bright colors will be your best allies. The best part? Going short will make it much easier to reuse the look.

Vestidos Cortos para Graduación

At THE-ARE we propose the Mrs. Morgan dress that will be a sure hit! It's a green satin design with an asymmetrical neckline and an off-the-shoulder neckline, which couldn't be more trendy and flattering! And yes, you can wear it on more occasions after evento🤞🏼.

Jumpsuit

A trend that we love and that for several years has been going strong in all kinds of events for its elegance and simplicity. Being a single piece you will not have to think too much, just put it on and you're ready to give it all! For graduation, go for bell-bottom or palazzo style jumpsuits and stretch knitted fabrics that adapt to your body and fit snugly. As for colors, for fall/winter burgundy or green are a very good option; for spring/summer you will be right with more flashy and bright colors like pink, yellow or red.

Skirt or Pants

The skirt or trouser sets are a very good option if you want to be comfortable and take advantage of the look for other ceremonies. Women's jacket and trouser suits are a classic that never go out of fashion, choose a palazzo pants, with a pair of tweezers or straight and combine it with an elegant blouse. Go for a bold color, this is a day to enjoy and have fun. Our favorite for this season? The Mrs. Harley set , a total look in white or purple, pure elegance. Add an eye-catching accessory and you have an outfit of 10!

Another option is to choose an outfit with a skirt, either long, midi or short (but not too short), you will be 100% right. Choose a straight silhouette, fitted or bell cut, as you like. As for the blouse, go for puffed sleeves, V-neckline or satin fabric. If you opt for matching skirt and blouse sets, they will give you an optical effect of a dress, but with the advantage that you can wear them together or separately without anyone suspecting that you are reusing the outfit.

Shoes

You're going to spend many hours with this look, both at the ceremony and at the after party you're going to need comfortable shoes with which you can last all night without worries. If you're not used to wearing heels, go for a flat ballerina style shoe so you won't have the fear that many graduates have of falling when they go to pick up their diploma😥.

If you're looking for comfort and confidence, choose chunky heels with a platform or sandals with a heel between 4 cm and 5 cm that are strapped to the foot. Recently at THE-ARE we launched our first collection of shoes in which we have materialized all the tips you have asked us to choose your shoes for special occasions.
