It’s graduation season, which means plenty of scrambling around to get every last minute task accomplished before you walk the stage. Planning what to wear for your graduation may not seem so trivial. You just throw on your cap and gown and you’re ready to go. Well, it may surprise you that there’s a bit more to it than that. Here are some graduation hacks you may not have known that you needed.
There are many tips and tricks online to help keep your cap secure on your head. You can opt for about a dozen bobby pins, or follow this clever tutorial that could prevent a major snafu. Super glue a headband to the inside of your cap, and even a swift wind couldn’t knock it down.
Determining the right hairstyle for your cap might require some pre-graduation day planning. Are you going to style it up with delicate curls? Or maybe a more relaxed look? Websites like The Beauty Department, Lulus, and Pinterest offer the best tutorials and advice for navigating your hair around your caps.

If your college or university allows the students to design their graduation caps, this is your opportunity to have some fun. Throw a pre-graduation craft party with your girlfriends or for everyone in your dorm and start planning! Now is the time to decide if you want to give a nod to your favorite movie or television show. Or perhaps put the inspirational quote that helped you get through the toughest parts of your studies. It’s totally up to you, just don’t forget the glitter!

Or rather, think outside your cap. If designing with an inspirational quote isn’t your thing, try a flower crown instead. Nothing screams graduation goddess more than wearing a halo of roses on your head. This is one of our favorite graduation hacks!

I’m sure finding the right shoes seems like an obvious tip, but it does require some consideration and research. If you haven’t already, take a test walk in your shoes. You don’t want to have an infamous Lizzie McGuire moment, something I’m sure we’ve all had nightmares about. If you haven’t found the right shoes yet, go for a wedge or perhaps a chunkier heel. This will help you feel like you have a little more control. It just might become the main focus of your outfit, so don’t be afraid to go a little bold!
