We can’t believe they are finally graduating. Whether it’s a child, a grandchild, or a niece or nephew, graduation is always an emotional time. The ceremonies are such a special moment so your outfit should be just as memorable. We love making stunning occasion dressing comfortable so you can worry less about the heat or the long list of names they have to get through, and more on your loved ones amazing accomplishment.

You can never go wrong with a shirtdress. That’s why our Sally Cotton Shirtdress in either the White Daiquiri or the Blue Pansies make for stunning options for graduation. The lightweight, breathable fabric makes a ceremony on the lawn bearable while the structured silhouette and shorter length makes the style ultra flattering. We’re pairing the look with the matching belt, a sandal we can walk on grass with, and a Straw Bag.

For blouses that steal the show, we have a few suggestions. Our Katrina Silk Blouse in Raspberry Grandiflora is an asymmetrical hem top that’s got that wow factor to it. With a slight puff sleeve, you’ll quickly fall in love with this pop of red top. We love pairing the piece with our Gabriele Pants in White, white wedges, and our complementary Blue Coral Hoops.

If you’re opting for white for the big day, the Althea Jacket in Cotton Pique is the way to go. With a wide, structured belt, the look is both flattering and eye-catching. Plus the longer length makes you feel even more confident. The final look is up to you–go for an all white ensemble with the Elaine Pants in White or add a pop of color with any of our printed Elaine Pants

AvA specializes in looks that help you beat the heat while still feeling comfortable and looking great. The perfect time to put that to the test is a graduation ceremony. Even with our longer lengths, you can rest assured that you will look and feel your best.  

For something more classic in both shape and print, we suggest the Liza Tunic paired over the matching Carol Skirt and belt in either the Raspberry Grandiflora or Blue Pansies print. The look is both feminine and statement-making and will help you feel dress code appropriate while still breezy and comfortable. We love pairing the midi skirt with a two inch heel for extra height and the top looks stunning with a stack of pearls.

The Kathe Cotton Dress in Raspberry Grandiflora is not only a great option for graduation but is also just an overall great addition to any wardrobe. It’s the piece that can be dressed up or down–worn to graduation one day and then to run errands the next. For the ceremony, we’re wearing the dress with caramel wedges, our Straw Bag, and statement gold jewelry.

We hope that graduation season is one filled with joy, relaxation, and stunning ensembles. We’re wishing all of our graduates a very happy next chapter. Congratulations.
