Graduation Dresses

Find Your Perfect Graduation Dress for 2025

You’ve earned this moment—now dress like it

Graduation is more than a milestone. It’s the one day where everything—from the speech to the shoes—feels like it’s building toward a version of you that’s ready for what’s next. What you wear should rise to the occasion.

At Rihoas, we design dresses with that sense of purpose

Whether you're walking the stage or celebrating after, you'll find pieces here that are polished, personal, and easy to wear with pride. If you’re following tradition, go for crisp white: think structured minis, sleek satin midis, or soft silhouettes with puff sleeves and clean lines. Our white dresses are photo-ready without being fussy—and they pair beautifully with a cap and gown.

If you’re not a white-dress person? That’s fine

Try light blue, champagne, or blush pink for something soft and flattering. Go with navy, emerald, or even red if you’re after presence and polish. A corset bodice gives you shape. A wrap dress gives you ease. A puff sleeve adds energy. And if you're keeping it minimal, choose satin or crepe fabrics that do the work without overthinking it.

For indoor ceremonies, outdoor venues, and everything in between

Graduating in spring? Flowy midis and sleeveless shapes keep it breezy. Winter ceremony? Long sleeves in velvet or heavier satins look sharp and keep you warm. And if you’re looking for something to wear under the gown—focus on fit and clean fabric. You want something that moves with you and stays smooth underneath layers.

Guests need options too

Whether you’re a mom, sister, partner, or friend, you’ll find dresses here that feel appropriate but never boring. Try midis in floral, polished button-downs, or elevated wrap dresses with sleeves—dresses you’ll rewear long after the ceremony ends.

Popular styles include:

• Fitted white minis for a modern, ceremony-ready look

• Soft satin slips with open backs or cowl necklines

• Corset midis for structure without stiffness

• Lace and crepe A-lines with sleeves for balance

• Halter and square necklines for minimalists

• Pastel or jewel-tone dresses that feel dressy without being over the top

Whatever path you’re walking after this moment—you’ll walk it better in something that feels like you.
