2026 Commencement Trends: Popular Styles & Silhouettes

From minimalist chic satin slip dresses to structured sheath styles, we have the most-wanted looks for 2026. If you want drama, look for corset and bustier bodices or romantic puff sleeves. For movement, explore tiered ruffle dresses or a modern one-shoulder dress. While mini and midi dresses are ideal for under the gown, we also offer boho crochet and knit styles for a more relaxed vibe.

While the little white dress (LWD) remains a commencement staple, we are seeing a rise in soft pastels like butter yellow, mint green, and lilac. For a head-turning look, go bold with an emerald green or cobalt blue dress, or add subtle glamour with champagne metallics. Our collection features premium fabrics, including satin, tulle, intricate lace, and sequins, to ensure you shine on your big day.
