It’s one of the most wonderful times of the year—the very start of summer! Or at least really close to it. There’s something about May that generates so much excitement about what’s ahead, especially for graduates! If you’re graduating this month (high school or college or, heck, even grad school) or know someone who is, I have some great graduation outfit ideas I wanted to share today!

Whenever I think of graduation, I always think of a gorgeous dress. Dresses are what I wore to both of my graduations, and I loved the ones I picked for each. Spring and summer dresses are also the perfect choice to wear to graduation parties, too! In this picture, I’m wearing an easy, feminine, babydoll dress that would work as your graduation dress or as a graduation guest (think, graduation outfits ideas for mom). I’ve also put together 12 different head-to-toe looks you can shop and am sharing gift guides in case you’re stuck on graduation gift ideas for her or him! Keep scrolling to look your best and give the best high school or college graduation gifts this year.
