Minimalist Outfit Ideas  

For an understated look, keep things simple with a minimalist or monochromatic outfit. Pared back outfits can be a great way to cultivate timelessness. Take a leaf out of Jennifer Lawrence or Zendaya's book with a muted outfit, paired with some signature gold touches. Or, opt for an all-white, minimalist outfit like Kim Kardashian.

Complete your grad day outfit with our selection of dainty, genuine gold jewelry pieces. Pick out a pair of signature gold-plated stud earrings, pendant necklaces, chain bracelets and more. For a sentimental touch, gravitate towards jewelry adorned with cubic zirconia crystals and freshwater pearls for a refined finish.  

 

Academia Aesthetic 

For something a bit more brooding, channel your inner scholar with the dark academia aesthetic. The dark academia trend has been styled by celebrity icons like Taylor Swift, Blake Lively and Hailey Beiber — need we say more? The trend draws on preppy silhouettes with a muted color palette — perfect for honouring your days of study and hard work. 

The dark academia trend is best paired with sophisticated finishing touches, including a fashion-forward watch, layered chains, beaded bracelets, or fall-colored accessories. Explore our range of trending fall accessories here and channel your inner graduate!  

 

 Less Is More

Sometimes, less is more! When it comes to key occasions and milestones, keeping things refined can be more impactful. For a timeless touch to your graduation outfit, take inspiration from celebs like Zendaya and Kendall Jenner with some dainty silver styles. 

Sterling silver jewelry isn't just a go-to for special occasions, it can also lifetime in your collection! Adorn your grad day outfit with some minimalist, dainty pieces from our sterling silver collection. Styles from our sterling collection are crafted from genuine, 925 sterling silver — making the perfect additions to your everyday jewelry stack. For graduation, style a pair of sterling silver hoops, a set of silver stacking rings or a dainty pendant necklace for a signature finish.
