FAQs
Is it okay to wear a black dress to my own graduation?
Totally! Black is a timeless, ceremony-appropriate choice that looks stunning in pics. It works across venues and time slots and is easy to style with pieces you already own. Just double-check your school’s guidelines!
What style of black dress works best?
Choose a style that fits your plans. Mid-length dresses feel ready for the stage, shorter hemlines are perfect for post-ceremony parties, and floor-length styles look elevated for evening events. Go for necklines that work well with a stole (if you’re wearing one), like square, cowl, or halter styles.
Can I wear a black dress if the gown is black?
You can, and it looks super chic if you spend a few minutes styling! Add contrast with fabric choices like satin or lace, or opt for a defined neckline that peeks out neatly under your gown. Keep the hem slightly shorter than the robe and finish with contrasting shoes or jewelry to break up the all-black look.
What shoes pair well with a black graduation dress?
Block heels or wedges are great for outdoor ceremonies, while kitten heels or sling backs are the cool girl shoe we recommend for indoors. Neutral tones, metallics, or a subtle pop of color all pair easily with black. Stick to a heel height you’re comfortable in and do a quick walk test with your gown to check length and movement!
