17 Pairs of Black Shoes to Wear for Graduation

While you have total freedom when it comes to the hidden dress to wear under your toga, it’s a different story where your shoes are concerned. Most schools require the ladies to wear closed shoes with heels at least 2 inches high and whether you like it or not, for one last time you are made to follow the school’s dress code. You won’t have a hard time as there’s a plethora of high-heeled shoes in chic noir to choose from. But make sure it’s a pair that's a) comfortable enough for you to survive the long ceremony in and b) something you can wear to that corporate job you’ve been eyeing or your grad party.
