Graduation is a time of hope, optimism, possibilities, and, most of all, celebration. After a year like 2020, we all deserve to do some celebrating—especially graduates who made it through months of remote learning and Zoom classes. Since it's been a while since I graduated myself, I was curious about what Gen Z will be wearing to their ceremonies, given that fashion has changed, and we're all starting to reemerge after the pandemic and go big after living in sweats for months. Plus, Gen Z has a way of putting together insanely cool outfits and embracing trends in the most unique ways, so graduation will likely be no different.
I decided to go straight to the source and find out what graduates are really wearing this year. It seems that people are gravitating toward dresses that are less formal and more fun, dresses that reflect their personal style, make a bold statement, and celebrate the milestone of closing one chapter and starting a new one. Below, hear what graduates have to say about their outfit choices and shop the best graduation dresses if you're still on the hunt.
"I opted for a blue dress instead of a typical white dress because, although I will be walking for graduation, it is going to be a more casual event with just my business school. I have already taken graduation photos with my friends in our white dresses, so I figured I could have more fun for this ceremony, especially since I haven't had many chances to wear a colorful dress in the past year!" — Emily O'Brien, Fordham University graduateEmily's blue version is out of stock, but this red mini is equally special for the occasion. "For my graduation, I wore the iconic Réalisation Christy Sunflower Dress. I have always resonated strongly with both sunflowers and the color yellow, so this dress was the perfect combination of both! I felt like a radiant queen in it! And of course, I couldn't go without my Jennifer Fisher hoops." — Fabi Cruz, Louisiana State University graduate This dress just makes you smile. "For graduation this year, I'll be wearing a red dress since I'm graduating from Ohio State! I love the classic white dress but want to wear something different that'll stand out! I'm planning on a red satin slip dress with a cowl neckline or possibly a one-shoulder dress. I'm so excited to be graduating soon and can't wait for the future." — Tyra Fisher, Ohio State University graduate Red is definitely a trending color for graduation this year. "I will be wearing a dress by Bronx and Banco called the Valentina Bow Dress. The dress was gifted to me when I assisted the brand for NYFW, and I thought it would be perfect for graduation." — Cassidy Franco, Fashion Institute of Technology graduate The bow detailing feels celebratory yet classic at the same time. "I will be graduating in style with Sabo Skirt's Zana Dress. Stand out, be unique, chic, and express your beauty. White is just as bold as red!" — Becca Devine, Fashion Institute of Technology graduateThe details really make this dress stand out. You can never go wrong with florals. For a pop of color. Another chic red option. You'll wear this for so many different occasions. Buy for graduation, wear all summer. I'm obsessed with this sleeve detailing. Talk about a dress you can wear to everything. The sheen on this one feels so celebratory. Black is always a good choice. There are so many pretty little details on this one. Simple and classic, but in a pop color. Wear this dress and prepare yourself for compliments. How fun is this print?!Florals just scream graduation (in a good way). This looks equally cute with sandals and sneakers. This color is so dreamy. This will look so good in grad photos.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
