Stylist Johanna Eenma: graduation outfit should be wearable in everyday life too

Fashion stylist Johanna Eenma advises how to choose a graduation outfit that can be worn later. Suitable options include a minimalist dress embellished with accessories, a versatile suit, or a striking statement piece.

A school graduation party is one of the most important events of the year for young people, but often clothes are bought for the occasion that end up gathering dust in the wardrobe after the festive evening. Fashion stylist Johanna Eenma explains how to make smarter choices that serve you longer than just one event.

According to Eenma, instead of a graduation dress, it's worth considering a versatile suit that can be worn later both at work and at other formal occasions. A minimalist dress embellished with accessories is also a smart choice – by changing jewellery and bag, the entire look changes significantly and the same outfit suits quite different occasions.

If your heart still yearns for something truly dazzling and eye-catching, you don't have to give that up. In such cases, Eenma recommends thinking about how to combine the striking or unique garment with other pieces so it doesn't remain only as graduation attire. For example, a richly embellished blouse can be worn with jeans in a completely different, more casual style.
