Turn the graduation stage into your own personal runway.
As we approach the end of spring, not only are we leaving behind some of the more season-specific trends, but many students are also entering a new season of their lives. With a major life event like graduation, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the big things: applying for jobs, finding an apartment and, of course, what to wear to receive your diploma. If you’re stumped on how to accessorize your well-earned cap and gown, look no further than the curated outfits we’ve compiled below, for all kinds of specialized studies. Congrats, grad!

If you’re a visual arts, performing arts or really any creative major, this outfit may be the right look for you: With no shortage of color or texture, consider yourself an iridescent representation of the art you’ve created over the last four years. To make the look even more fun, try an accessory (like these squiggle earrings) to illustrate a literal detail of your degree.

Nothing says “smart” like a collared shirt — but a collared shirt doesn’t have to be too simple. Put your own spin on sharp dressing with a unique print, to stand out amongst the inevitable sea of simpler color schemes. Make the look even more witty with another traditionally astute style statement: a brooch.

A classic silhouette with *just* the right amount of accessorizing reflects your storytelling prowess. A bright cobalt blue and an unexpected pop of color in the shoe to catch everyone’s eye will perfectly complement your walk across the graduation stage.

There’s no better way to make a statement upon entry into a space full of gray suits and black ties than with a multicolored, fruit-printed dress. This one’s proper collar and button-down closures, in tandem with the hidden green-and-orange pleats covered in blueberries(!), offer the perfect balance of professionalism and boldness.

If you’re looking to keep your outfit simple and classic, a sleek white midi dress is the way to go. (You’ll wear it for years and years.) For the perfect, subtle amount of color, add a shoe and statement brooch reflective of your field of study.

Who says a suit can’t be fun? Rather than going full-on, try a button-down silhouette with more flair in the collar and sleeves. Since it’s nearing the beginning of summer, opt for a tailored black short paired with a classy pair of Mary Janes.
