The summer season is upon us! This summer 2026 season we are seeing oceanic nail polish hues, vibrant neutral nail polish hues, maxi skirts, fun prints, pops of color, pearl jewelry, and timeless style mixed with a little pizazz. Love that!

So, for the summer 2026 season, my capsule wardrobe is maxing out on maxi skirts, including multiple prints, and adding classic pieces to round-out my overall summer vibe.

This summer is all about combining classic peices with some standout items to create a middle ground in style. Flashy looks are not “in” along with staying far away from logos. So, this means adding prints and vibrant colors without overdoing it. I love a printed maxi skirt with a neutral, quiet top for a breezy summer look.

Graduation season is here, and many colleges have already held their ceremonies. As we head into more graduation ceremonies, the weather is warming up, and ceremonies are being held outside. This means we need to be cool and comfortable while sitting in the sun and watching our favorite student graduate. Pro tip: you can add your favorite sun hat to any of these graduation outfits.

While my daughter who graduated from college on the east coast had her ceremony indoors, my son will have his in June outside, in the sun. I am looking forward to wearing something cool and comfortable, such as the graduation outfit ideas for mom shown above. If you have been following along, you already know these are outfits I wear often for different occasions. This is the great thing about a graduation outfit, you can wear it for lunches, events, and on warm summer days. An outfit doesn’t need to be worn only once; it should be repeated often. You can easily mix it up with different shoes and accessories. Love that!

So, without further ado, here are a few graduation outfit ideas for mom, with alternate footwear you can easily shop online:

Enjoy your student’s graduation and wearing your graduation outfit again and again this summer season!
