It's been a looong time coming. When you *finally* get up to accept your diploma, you should feel empowered to treat that aisle (and the stage) like it's your runway. Even though you'll likely be rocking an itchy polyester gown when you do it, knowing that you have a chic graduation outfit underneath, will put an extra little pep in your step when they call out your name. With or without a dress code that calls for white graduation dresses, you can still serve up your own personal style (sequin blazer, anyone?) beneath your robe.
So the classic black dress is a known fashion favorite. This silky '90s versionis the perfect silhouette if you're shopping for a style that'selevated and classic.
