Graduation Attire


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.
