23 Stunning Graduation Dress Ideas
Real quick I thought it would be fun to go over where some of the best places to find graduation dress ideas are.
I found my dress at Macy’s which is a great place to shop. Other popular shops include Windsor, Lulus, Francesca’s, Express, Forever 21, and Kohls.
Graduation dress tip: If you can’t decide on your dress color, think about your grad robe’s color and pick a dress that looks nice with the robe. You may want to incorporate your robe into pictures after, and this will ensure the photos are pefect.
1. White Lace Dress:
Something about a white dress and graduation just go together. White dresses are super popular for graduation because graduation is right before the summer, so it’s fun to wear white again, and white looks really great in pictures.
If you’re looking for a trendy graduation dress color, you can’t go wrong with white. Try to find a white dress with detail so that you stand out on your big day!
2. Pink Satin:
I have always loved the color pink so I really like this dress. Satin pink is perfect for the summer and looks nice against a black robe just like the picture.
If you’re looking for pretty pink dresses, Windsor and Lulu’s usually have a bunch that are really nice!
3. Any White Dress:
This is a super popular graduation trend and looks really nice in photos. All of your friends will just need a different white dress. Maybe you can all go shopping together so that no one buys the same dress.

Pair this dress with a dark red lip and you’ll be the star of the show. Red outfits are always so pretty!
5. White Ruffles:
If you’re wearing a white dress make sure that it has a cute element like lace or ruffles to make it stand out. The dress above has ruffles that make the shape of the dress more unique and elegant.

Black is another bold graduation dress that always looks good! You can pair your black dress with a fun colored heel or with a more brightly colored robe.
Wear jewelry to make the dress look more fancy and elegant. You really can’t go wrong with a pretty black dress.
7. White & Heels:
These pictures are very popular during graduation. If you want to recreate this look grab your best friends and find different white dresses for each of you. Wear matching nude heels and your look will be perfect!
8. Light Pink:
This is another light pink dress that I love! The color is just so soft and delicate. This dress would look amazing with a black robe.
Pair the dress with some gold or silver jewelry to make the look even more elegant! I can definitely see big hoops or dangly earing with this dress.
9. Maroon Moment:
Who doesn’t love a good maroon or red dress moment!? This color is usually better in the winter but there is something about the cut of this dress that I really like.
