Congrats, grad! If you're reading this, I can probably guess that college graduation is coming up for you—and it's definitely a huge moment to celebrate. Of course, an accomplishment like this can leave you with a *lot* of different emotions. You made it through the dreaded group projects and late-night studying to get your degree, but you might be leaving behind your close friends to embark on a new chapter. It can be pretty bittersweet! And on top of that, you got through everything during a global pandemic—which is stressful and anxiety-inducing without the added pressure of school. But you should be SO proud of yourself and you deserve to be celebrated!
Your college graduation might not be exactly how you envisioned—whether your school is holding an outdoor in-person ceremony or hosting it virtually—but you can still dress up in something festive for the special occasion and celebrate. Need I remind you that you never have to take a test again?! (Well, unless you're going to grad school...) And that is definitely something else to cheers to! Here, 25 cute graduation outfit ideas that will complement your well-deserved diploma—from puff-sleeve minis to dramatic jumpsuits and a whole lot more. Here's to you!

White dresses are popular for graduation, but yours will look different from all the rest with a halter neck featuring a buckle. Add some hoop earrings and buckled heels to pull the whole look together.
10

You can pair this pretty jumpsuit with strappy heels or simple block heel sandals if you're worried about tripping on the stage. (Been there.)

You adult, you! This fun pink shade on this fancy silhouette gives you the best of both worlds.
14

18
this drape-y slip
Lorraine Trapeze Dress
A slip dress that isn't too body-hugging will keep you comfortable and light for your big moment. Drop earrings and two-strap heels keep things classic.
A black mini with pointed-toe pumps? You really can't beat it. You're gonna wow everyone.
20
this skort romper
x REVOLVE Champagne Skort Romper
This mini dress is actually a romper and has shorts underneath. Genius, right? The shoulder ties make them adjustable and you can keep the theme going with lace-up sandals that tie in the back.
21
this satin midi
Alicia Floral Print Satin Midi Dress
There are multiple ways to wear this style because the waist tie is optional and you can also wear the one at the neck the way it's pictured or leave it undone.

this collared style
Blue Cut Out Midi Dress
A shirt dress is another classic choice, but this one ups the ante with some small cutouts at the waist. Wear it with heeled slides and some shimmery jewelry.

A cream-colored mini with statement sleeves is perfect for minimalists. Turn around though, and the open back gives it a lil something extra.

A one-shoulder black jumpsuit with draping that extends from the arm all the way down to the leg is definitely the key to that "wow" moment you're looking for.

this V-neck lace one
Love Swept White Lace Midi Skater Dress
A scalloped white lace frock with ankle-strap heels is a classic that'll go with any cap and gown.
