The silhouette, like the look above, strikes the perfect balance between classic and trendy.
Its one of those tried-and-true staples thatll be en vogue season after season.
With that in mind, we wholeheartedly recommend the no-frills piece as a graduation dress.

From there, all the outfit needs is jewelrypearls, maybe?and kitten heels or strappy sandals.
A look that grazes your mid-thighs, or lower, should be appropriate for the occasion.
