US NAVY Graduation Uniforms?

Hi, I have a question about the uniforms worn but the graduating sailors at the ceremony. Iv'e seen many videos and pictures of the Navy graduations, and I must say, there are quite the varieties in terms of their uniforms. Iv'e seen all white with the visor (officer-like) hats, grey tops with black bottoms, all black with the sailor hats and "flat" hats, etc. My question is, why do graduating classes wear different uniforms? How does the Navy determine how some class groups graduate with THIS particular uniform? They were all Navy graduates of course, and the Marines all graduate with the same uniform style, so that's what sonfuses me :/ Thank you!

You may have seen different graduation ceremonies because there are different personnel in the Navy. If you're referring to enlisted personnel graduating from basic training, they will either wear their dress white uniforms or dress blue uniforms (which are actually black), depending on the time of year. Whites are worn during the summer, blues during winter. The hat for enlisted personnel is the "dixie cup", the traditional sailors hat people normally associate with the Navy.
Officers (those say, graduating from the Naval Academy) will normally be wearing an all-white uniform since they graduate in May, and their hat/cover will be the combination cover - white flat top with a black bill.
