Graduation day marks a milestone—you’ll be in photos, on stage, and celebrating with friends and family. Looking polished while feeling comfortable under your gown is key. Here’s a styling guide focused on smart, practical outfits and how Tellar ensures your clothes fit flawlessly.
Graduation Outfit Essentials
1. Dress or Co-ord Sets
-
Midi or knee-length dresses in breathable fabrics like linen, cotton or crepe work beautifully under gowns.
-
Matching co-ords (a high-waist skirt with a tailored top) look polished and sit neatly below a gown.
2. Jumpsuits & Tailored Trousers
-
A well-fitted sleeveless or short-sleeve jumpsuit offers elegance and ease of movement.
-
Alternatively, choose cropped trousers with a tucked-in blouse for a chic, modern look.
3. Men's Options
-
Choose smart chinos or suit trousers in neutral tones paired with a crisp shirt.
-
A light blazer in linen or cotton can elevate your outfit while keeping it comfortable.
4. Footwear & Accessories
-
Go for comfortable footwear: loafers, block heels, or refined flats.
-
Accessories should be minimal—think stud earrings, a thin necklace, or a sleek watch.
-
A small clutch or crossbody bag is ideal for keeping essentials without bulk.
Why Fit Matters on Graduation Day
Your gown adds volume around the shoulders and arms, so you want clean lines beneath. Ill-fitting outfits can bunch or pull when you sit or stand. Brands vary widely in sizing—for instance, your “Small” at one label might be a “Medium” at another.
This is where Tellar.co.uk comes in.
