This swingy style has plenty going for it, from its tonal dot pattern to its ruffles to its cute keyhole neckline. Pair it with brightly colored, chunky-heeled mules and a red lip for a look that really pops.
6. Pale Pink Floral-Print Tiered Midi Dress
This feminine dress is one of my favorites of the bunch, and with its easy, feminine silhouette, sweet floral print, and pretty colors, it’s really not hard to see why! I love the idea of wearing it with delicate heeled sandals and an oversized clutch.

9. Blue-and-White Striped Midi Tie-Waist Dress
If you decide to go for something more casual, be sure to stick with a classic silhouette; that way, your look will read as put-together rather than thrown-together. This super chic dress is the perfect choice.
10. Olive Green Short-Sleeved V-Neck Dress
Once again, this cute graduation dress errs on the side of laid-back. However, the elegant and flowy fabric lends it a polished feel that makes it graduation-appropriate.
11. Pale Blue Floral-Print Maxi Dress
This beautiful long dress will ensure that you’re among the best-dressed at your graduation ceremony. It would look lovely worn with long, loose waves or an effortless braid worn off to one side.
12. Black Belted Flutter-Sleeve Dress
Upgrade your LBD game for graduation by opting for a style with a tied waist, fluttery sleeves, and a flouncy hem like this gorgeous dress. Keep things classic with delicate jewelry, or add a long necklace or two for more of a statement-making look.
13. Multi-Colored Pleated Midi Dress with Pleated Skirt
This fun style gives off the perfect light-hearted and carefree vibe. Plus, it can be worn again throughout the summer with a denim jacket and flat sandals for a more casual look.
14. Coral Zip-Front A-Line Dress
I love the bright coral color of this dress, not to mention the sleek and modern feel lent to it by the zipper that goes up the front. It could easily be edged up by adding stacks of rings and a couple of chunky chain bracelets/necklaces.
15. Pale Pink Slip Dress
This delicate slip dress is so versatile; wear it for grad with ladylike sling-back kitten heels and dainty jewelry, and afterwards with a t-shirt underneath and a baseball cap.
16. Gray and White Tie-Dye Dress
The tie-dye print on this dress reminds me of a really cool marble pattern. Try wearing it with white shoes and accessories for a unique and modern look.
17. Bright Pink Ruffle-Sleeve Dress
If your style is feminine and put-together, you’ll love this pretty ruffle-sleeve dress, whose simple style and lovely bright pink color ensure that you’ll have it for years to come.
18. Neon Yellow Long-Sleeved Floral-Print Midi Dress
If your style is more granny-chic than strappy sundress, go for this floral midi dress in an awesome shade of neon yellow. It would look great with high-cut chunky low heels or flats.
19. Dark Blue-Gray Flutter-Sleeve Lace Dress
This irresistible floral lace dress is just so pretty, and I love how its blue-gray color stands apart from your typical neutrals. Pair it with metallic silver shoes for a sophisticated look that’s anything but boring.
20. Bubblegum-Pink Pleated Midi Dress
Embrace your femininity with this statement-making bubblegum-pink dress, whose bright color would look amazing on a wide variety of skintones. Pair it with white heeled sandals for a look that will really stand out!
