As a graduation student, you may have little choice about what to wear to a
graudation. The typical graduation attire are cap and gown, as well as some
ribbons, chords and special tassels. Also, as a graduation student, something
underneath the cap and gown are suitable.
Some institutions dictate what the graduating student must wear to
graduation, whereas others may leave this decision up to the student. Female
students may be required to wear dresses or skirts and blouses, and males to
wear dress shirts and slacks. Others may simply require graduating students to
wear particular colors or styles.
Even in the case that the institution does not dictate what graduates must
wear to a graduation, the graduate will likely want to choose a versatile outfit
to wear to their graduation. Something that they will be comfortable in, and yet
will not show from underneath the graduation gown. It is important to remember
that the outfit a graduate wears to a graduation will be commemorated in photos,
and therefore, should be something appropriate.
When deciding what to wear to attend a graduation, the best rule of thumb is
to combine comfort with style. Whether attending the graduation of a class of
kindergarteners or a class of university Master’s degree recipients, one will
want to be dressed both appropriately and comfortably. It is common to take
commemorative photographs of families, friends, and fellow graduates at a
graduation. For this reason, attendees will want to wear something that they
feel good and look nice in. This includes wearing styles, colors, and prints
that look good in photographs.
As for comfort, there are a few more specifics to consider when deciding what
to wear to a graduation. Most graduation ceremonies require attendees to sit in
plastic or metal chairs throughout the proceedings. Shorts or skirts should
reach the knee when one is sitting. This will prevent the skin of the thighs
touching the surface of the chair, which can be uncomfortable and leave marks on
the backs of the legs. White clothing should probably not be worn, as the chairs
used by guests may not be completely clean, and get white pants or skirts
dirty.
Another thing to think about is whether the graduation will be held indoors
or outdoors. If the graduation is indoors, there may be strong air conditioning,
and an attendee may want to bring a sweater to wear to the graduation. If the
graduation is outside, the attendee should remember that they may be sitting in
the sun during the ceremony. Short sleeves, or short pants that leave the tops
of the thighs exposed can leave one vulnerable to sunburn. It is usually not
advised to wear a hat to a graduation, because it may block the view of those
seated behind.
