Graduation is a special time to reflect upon your academic accomplishments, but you don't need a degree in fashion to celebrate your graduation in style. A graduation ceremony is a formal event. You've been working towards this day for a few years after all. You also want your attire to match the merry mood and reflect your individuality in a sea of graduates. Choosing appropriate apparel can be a challenge. The right graduation attire will have you looking and feeling sharp while you celebrate your special day of scholarly success.
Look Smart, Feel Smart
You may be wondering why your attire is so important when you'll be covered from head to toe in a cap and gown. You could probably get away with wearing a velour sweatsuit or nothing at all under that gown (don't do it). Clothes have a huge impact on your attitude and say something about who you are as a person. On a big day like graduation day, you want to feel accomplished and confident. Look sharp and feel smart in dress slacks, a button down shirt, dress shoes and a graduation tie. This is a classic combination that you'll see at a graduation. You'll want your slacks, socks and shoes to all go together. This is one part of your outfit that will be on full display. Clashing color combinations can be distracting. Don't let your mismatched shoes and slacks ruin your big moment. Celebrate your unique style with properly paired color combinations and a dapper tie to pull the look together.
Make sure to keep the graduation location in mind as you choose your clothing material. If the ceremony is going to be outside on a warm day, you’ll want to wear lighter materials so you won’t be sweltering and uncomfortable. If you know the auditorium tends to be chilly, make sure to wear long sleeves or a blazer.
Show Some School Spirit
You've probably put a lot of blood, sweat and beers into reaching this pivotal point in your life. Give a nod to your soon-to-be alma mater by sporting your school colors. If your school colors include extremely bright hues such as orange, you don’t have to wear an obnoxiously orange shirt. Tone it done with a softer hue that still fits the color palette and let your tie do the talking.
Choose a dress for your graduation. Make yourself stunning and fashion.
