What should you wear to graduation?

* Choose an outfit that is smart, stylish and comfortable. If you’re the graduate, a flattering midi or knee-length dress works beautifully under a gown, while tailored trousers and a smart blouse are another great option.

* If you’re attending as a guest, opt for an elegant dress or smart separates that feel celebratory without being overly formal.

* Consider the venue and weather, and choose comfortable shoes as graduations often involve plenty of walking and standing.

* Finish your look with simple, elegant accessories and a practical handbag.

* Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, so you can enjoy this special occasion and look great in those all-important photographs.

As I've grown older, I, like many women, seem to have grown larger around the waistline! So I did some research into the best styles to wear and this is what I found:

A-line, wrap, empire-line and fit-and-flare dresses can create a comfortable, elegant silhouette, while ruching and draping can add flattering shape and movement.

Fabrics such as crepe, jersey and chiffon can skim the body beautifully without feeling restrictive. Most importantly, choose a dress that fits comfortably and makes you feel confident rather than following strict fashion rules.

At Dressed To Impress, inclusive occasion wear is available up to size 26, with selected styles custom orderable up to size 32, helping more women find an outfit they feel fantastic wearing.

The Best Wedding Guest Clothes to Wear in Hot, Humid Weather

Dressing for a wedding is always exciting, but when the forecast calls for hot and humid conditions, comfort becomes just as important as style. The right outfit will help you stay cool throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing without sacrificing elegance.

Choose Lightweight Fabrics

Natural, breathable fabrics are your best friend in warm weather. Linen, cotton, chiffon, and lightweight silk allow air to circulate, helping you stay comfortable even on the hottest days. Avoid heavy materials like velvet, thick satin, or polyester blends, which can trap heat and moisture.

Wear Light Colours

Soft shades such as blush, sage green, sky blue, lavender, beige, or pastel yellow reflect sunlight better than darker colours. These hues not only feel cooler but also complement the relaxed atmosphere of spring and summer weddings.

Pick Comfortable Styles

Flowy midi and maxi dresses are excellent choices for women, offering both elegance and ventilation. Men can opt for lightweight linen or cotton suits in neutral tones, paired with a breathable dress shirt. For less formal celebrations, tailored trousers with a blazer can be a smart alternative to a full suit.

Choose Breathable Footwear

Outdoor weddings often involve grass, gravel, or sand, so practical shoes are essential. Block heels, wedges, elegant flats, or dressy sandals are stylish options for women. Men should consider loafers or lightweight leather dress shoes with breathable socks to stay comfortable all day.

One of the questions I'm often asked is "Can a guest wear white to a wedding?"

White is traditionally reserved for the bride and symbolizes her role as the centre of attention. Although modern weddings can be more flexible, etiquette experts still agree that white, ivory, cream and even pale neutrals should be avoided. The exception being if the couple asks for an all white, or black and white dress code, or the theme or invitation states white attire for guests.

What are some safe alternatives if you want a light or neutral look without crossing the etiquette lines?
* Ch*****ne is usually safe (unless the bride is wearing ch*****ne!).
* Pastels, soft metallics or patterned dresses with a non-white base.
* Outfits where white is less than 25% of the overall colour.
