It’s that time of year again! Whether you know someone graduating from college, high school or pre-school–or if you’re the graduate being celebrated–the commencement ceremonies are here.

Guests
Graduation guests will be dressed in a wide variety of outfits, so don’t overthink it too much. Opt for something less dressy than cocktail but more formal than jeans. Remember to keep it comfortable and cool.
