Anyone just not feel like wearing pants somedays? Those are the days I turn to my beloved <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-maxi-skirts">maxi skirts</a>.

Whether you’re going to work, a wedding, doing your weekly shop, or packing for a weekend away, you can elevate your aesthetic with maxi skirt outfits that read as intentional and tasteful. Ever since my first maxi skirt purchase in high school, I’ve been advocating for these ankle-length and floor-length skirts that sway in the wind and twirl with every turn. Let’s talk about how to style them through every season and for whatever occasion is on your calendar.

How To Style Maxi Skirt Outfits for Every Occasion and Season

The soft pretzels, the foam fingers, the crack of the bat hitting a ball—a baseball game is a distinct setting, worthy of a distinct outfit. I've always been a baseball girl because I love the game's slower pace; it gives me more time to drink beer and indulge in the fun, energetic atmosphere. Plus, I get the chance to curate cute baseball game outfits that combine sporty aesthetics with my personal style.

It took me a little while to figure out what to wear to a baseball game when I wanted to be comfy but stylish. I've experimented with a few styles, so I have plenty of baseball game outfit ideas for you, from jersey dresses for a date to casual denim looks. If you're not sure how to dress for a baseball game, start here.

Red, White, and Stylish. Festive Looks You'll Want to Wear All Summer

Fourth of July Outfits for Every Kind of Celebration

Getting dressed for a graduation, regardless of whether you’re the one who’s graduating or are just there to watch the big moment, can be especially tricky. Indoor venues, outdoor venues, cramped auditoriums, and heat-trapping gowns all make choosing an outfit for graduation complicated. I’ve seen people prioritize photos, but forget about the need for wearing something comfortable that they can sit in for hours and walk around in. Also, can you imagine showing up without a layering piece on a blustery, rainy day?

I know this all can sound like a horror story, but don't worry. Whether you’re a graduate or a guest, I have all the tips to help you easily choose practical yet stylish graduation outfits.

<h2>What to Wear to a Graduation: Start With the Dress Code</h2>

Graduation sits in this weird middle space where neither is strictly formal nor entirely casual. Most ceremonies fall somewhere in this broad range between <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/business-casual-capsule-wardrobe-for-work">business casual</a> and semi-formal, which is why so many people end up overthinking their outfits. College graduations are typically a little dressier than high school graduations because they have larger venues and more upscale post-ceremony dinners, but it really depends on the specific school.

Knowing the location first is vital when putting your outfit together. When grass and stadium steps enter the chat, outdoor ceremonies can completely change your outfit plans. With indoor graduations, you won’t have to worry about sweating through layers but may want to remember to bring one in case the AC is extra cold.

The timing of the ceremony plays a role as well. Morning ceremonies can handle lighter garments that are more airy for the daytime, while evening graduations transition to darker colors or dressier silhouettes. When you can’t decide between two outfits, it never fails to go with the dressier one. If ever in doubt, it's always better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.

<h2>What to Wear for a Graduation Ceremony Under Your Gown</h2>

Graduation gowns can trap heat, so choose <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/best-breathable-fabric-for-hot-weather">breathable fabrics</a> like cotton poplin, cotton jersey, linen blends, bamboo, or even silk blends. Remember that the gown adds weight, so make lightweight pieces your best friend. For smooth silhouettes, I say go with silk camisoles, sleeveless blouses, relaxed jumpsuits, or simple bodysuits. These will lay flat underneath your gown and prevent bulkiness. To remain wrinkle free throughout the day, I recommend wrinkle-resistant fabrics like polyester blends, tencel blends, or knitted sets or dresses.

The second you put your gown on, everything will start to feel heavier. The moment you zip the gown up and settle into your seat, those stiff fabrics and chunky layers will let you know you made the wrong choice. That’s why I recommend wearing fabrics under your gown that move with you. I love flowy knee or midi length dresses for this reason, because they stay comfortable, photograph well, and don't bunch awkwardly under the robe.

Jumpsuits are great options too, but it's best to choose relaxed styles rather than too tight ones to avoid it feeling like a sauna under your gown. Choosing a flat-laying neckline will be your life saver. V-necks and scoop necks will sit more comfortably under the gown versus a cowl or collar. If it’s a spring or summer ceremony, I say ditch high necklines entirely, they can trap heat and feel restrictive once the gown is fully on.

<h2>What to Wear as a Guest to Graduation</h2>

If you're attending as a guest, I’d lean towards outfits that feel classy yet comfortable. Midi dresses are always an easy choice, especially for mothers attending graduations; they’re comfortable, photogenic, and work for post-graduation celebrations. I especially like tailored trousers and blouses for indoor ceremonies because they still feel comfortable without looking too casual. Quiet style works best, so keep colors neutral and accessories minimal. If you don’t want to wear a dress and want something easy, a simple jumpsuit is the perfect option. Go for the styles with tailored legs or wide legs for a clean look.

Graduations are one of those occasions where less is usually more. The people who always tend to look seamless at graduations rarely wear the loudest outfits; they wear simple pieces that fit well. I’d avoid ripped jeans, flip-flops, or partywear. As a guest, it’s best to wear an outfit that complements the moment instead of competing with it.

These are the outfit combinations that will help you survive graduation day, because they’ll actually hold up from the ceremony to dinner afterwards.

Graduation Outfits That Work, Whether You're on Stage or in the Stands

What To Wear to a Graduation Ceremony

I’m so here for the sheer fashion trend, but I’m not necessarily here to reveal everything to the world. I love to show a little skin, but we all have our line, and staying on the right side of it can be tough with see-through clothing. I’m talking about mesh pants that show your butt, gauzy tops that reveal everything, and ethereal but practically non-existent dresses. They’re fabulous on the mannequin, but when you get home and try to style them, it can be daunting.

It’s okay, I’m here to help. I have an arsenal of sheer dress outfit ideas, tips for how to style sheer tops, the best lace dress looks, and much more. Whether you’re excited to rock half-nude looks or just want to wear your transparent top without feeling like you’re on full display, I’ve got you covered (or uncovered).

<h2>See-Through Clothing To Add to Your Closet</h2>

If you haven’t hopped on the trend yet and aren’t sure what pieces make sense, I have a few recommendations:

<ul><li>Lace Top: These went out of style for a minute, but now, every woman needs a delicate lace top, whether it’s short-sleeved, long-sleeved, loose, fitted, or anything in between.</li><li>T-Shirt: Sheer clothes are cool enough that even the most basic silhouette feels fashionable, so add an easy-to-style transparent tee to your wardrobe.</li><li>T-Shirt Dress: See-through clothes are already sexy, so you can lean into bigger silhouettes without losing that saucy style.</li><li>Button-Down Top: A see-through button-down is a versatile piece that can work for professional settings, nights at the club, casual Saturday looks, or elevated errand outfits.</li><li>Slip Dress: This is another basic silhouette, but with the styling tips I’ll dive into, the possibilities are endless.</li><li>Maxi Dress: Your sheer maxi dress will become your new go-to when an outfit feels boring, becoming an interesting overlay or dreamy base layer.</li><li>Sweater: When we think about sheer clothes, we think light fabrics, but heavy open knits can also be see-through and create a compelling texture.</li><li>Linen Pants: Linen can be extremely see-through or medium opacity, making them a good entry-level garment to get accustomed to the see-through style.</li><li>Maxi or Midi Skirt: Sheer skirts are woefully underrated, as they bring a cheeky and wispy vibe that can be dressed up or dressed down with the right layers.</li></ul>

Pretty much every silhouette you could want can be made with a sheer fabric. But not all sheer fabrics are the same. From the dramatic look of tulle to the classic feel of lace, these are sheer materials to shop for:

<ul><li>Tulle</li><li>Lace</li><li>Organza</li><li>Chiffon</li><li>Silk chiffon</li><li>Voile</li><li>Gerogette</li><li>Gauze</li><li>Linen</li><li>Batiste</li><li>Mesh</li><li>Open knits</li></ul>

I am and always will be a sucker for tulle. It just reads “runway” to me, but nobody can knock the lovely feel of silk chiffon or airiness of gauze. And this list is not exhaustive. Any material that allows for ample light to get through qualifies as sheer and can be styled using the ideas below.

Have you ever pulled out a pair of underwear, squinted at it, and thought: why am I still holding on to these? I can’t be the only one. Either they’re a little uncomfortable, a little worn, or just don’t work under anything. They’re “fine”, but not really earning their place in my top drawer.

So, when I heard about <a href="https://go.linkby.com/NMRLMGUY" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Paire</a> I was intrigued. The Australian brand isn’t just selling more ho-hum basics, they’re solving real life problems. Each style is engineered with a specific purpose in mind, so naturally I had to try two nearly 5-star styles that seemed like they’ve been waiting to solve my underwear dilemma all along: the <a href="https://go.linkby.com/NMRLMGUY" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Lipstick Underwear™</a> and the <a href="https://go.linkby.com/NMRLMGUY/en-us/products/biotracker-mid-waist-full-brief?variant=45919082971359" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">BioTracker™ Underwear</a>.

Okay, so I used to grab whatever sunglasses looked cute on the rack and just hoped for the best. Sometimes it worked out, but mostly it didn't. And nothing frustrates me more than falling in love with a pair and finding out that something is just... off. Sound familiar?

With so many options available, figuring out which sunglasses work with your face shape can be seriously overwhelming. But the truth is that finding sunglasses that suit you isn't about luck or having the right face. It's all about identifying your face shape and picking frames that flatter your features. Once you figure this out, shopping becomes so much more fun.

In this guide, I will walk you through the whole process, from figuring out your shape to understanding what to look for in UV protection, so the next time you shop you’ll know exactly what to look for.

<h2>How to Pick Sunglasses for Face Shape That Flatter Your Features</h2>

Let me tell you the golden rule of sunglasses shopping. The most flattering frames are the ones that contrast your face shape, not match it. Round face? Angular frames. Square jaw? Soft, rounded styles. It's this simple and once you get it, you can't unsee it.

Frame width matters just as much as shape, too. Ideally your frames should be roughly equal to or just slightly wider than the widest part of your face. Too narrow and they look like they belong to someone else. Too wide and they kind of swallow your face whole. It is all about proportion. And just to be clear, this is not about fixing anything. This is purely about balance.

<h2>How Do I Know My Face Shape for Sunglasses: Simple Measurement Guide</h2>

Now, you must be thinking “how do I determine my face shape for sunglasses?” Go and stand in front of your mirror and trace the outline of your face with a marker. Or just take a straight-on selfie with your phone. Then with the help of a flexible measuring tape (eyeballing it is fine, too), take these measurements step-by-step:

<ol><li>Forehead Width: Across your forehead at its widest point, roughly halfway between your eyebrows and hairline.</li><li>Cheekbone Width: From the outer corner of one eye to the outer corner of the other.</li><li>Jawline Width: From the tip of your chin to just below your ear and then double it.</li><li>Face Length: From the center of your hairline down to your chin.</li></ol>

Once you have these four numbers, here's how you can identify your shape:

<ul><li>Round: Length and width roughly equal, full cheeks, soft curves throughout</li><li>Oval: Longer than wide, balanced proportions and jawline slightly narrower than forehead</li><li>Square: Strong defined jawline, broad forehead, roughly equal length and width</li><li>Heart: Wide forehead and high cheekbones tapering to a narrow pointed chin</li><li>Diamond: Narrow forehead and jawline, widest point at the cheekbones</li></ul>

Understanding these proportions is really the foundation of how to choose the right sunglasses for your face. Now that you know your face shape, let's see what will work best and what to skip.
