One thing that is
bound to give goose bumps to every graduating student is the academic dress. The
graduating gown and the graduating caps are the
traditional clothes worn on the day of graduation. To ensure that you look your
best on this important day and don’t do a faux pas, it is essential to keep the
following things in mind. The size of the graduation gown should of the proper
size, neither big nor small. Also, make certain that all the accompanying
accessories are also present. These include the graduation cap, tassels and
honor chords or stoles. Next step is to decide what you will wear beneath your
gown. This is important because a part of your leg will be visible below your
gown. So, to play safe, a white shirt and a pair of trousers can never go
wrong. This can be very helpful, especially when the gown is accompanied by a
hood. Otherwise, people sometimes also resort to dresses, but do it at your own
risk. On the D-day, iron the gown before wearing it as it is usually wrinkled. Put
on your graduation gown in the same way as you would wear a jacket. Then use
safety pins to attach the hood to the graduation gown. Finally, wear
your honor chords and stoles by draping them around the neck. Place your graduation
cap and the tassel as you feel comfortable and you are all set to make a
statement.
