This is why it is important to prepare for it and to celebrate the end of your education. You should dress to impress. In choosing the right garment for this special occasion, it is advisable to wear a dress that reflects your personality. Whether you prefer bright colors or something dark and monochromatic, it is all up to you. Wear something in which you are comfortable enough to have a party or dinner afterward. Picking the Right Top Graduation gowns are made low enough in the front to be able to show a top. Even if you wear a hood, which is the colored sash that is worn around your neck and over your shoulders, here are some of the best tops for each student to wear: For women, the best choice is a scoop-neck top that has a modest cut or a collared blouse. You may choose the color you like; after all, this is your graduation. Also, make sure you choose something comfortable.For men, the best choice is a collared dress shirt and a tie, to give you a professional-looking and tidy appearance. This will complement everybody’s physique. Pair it with a beautiful and intricately designed tie for a finishing touch. Picking the Right Bottoms For the bottom part, it is important to consider length. You do not want to step on the garment while you are marching toward your diploma. For women, it will always depend on what dress you decide to put on, but it is best to wear dress pants or a shorter skirt underneath your graduation gown. For pants and skirts, you should opt for narrow ones that are no wider than an A-line style.For men, it will be best to choose nice khakis or dark-colored pants to emphasize their long sleeves. Dress for the Weather It is also important to take note of the weather. In general, robes are quite thick. Humidity can cause you to overheat under a long gown. You need to dress lightly, so you do not end up sweating a lot and being uncomfortable throughout the ceremony. In case it rains, you should choose footwear that is perfect for your dress but that can still withstand a bit of moisture. Try not to wear rain boots, as you are trying to impress your colleagues. All students should wear closed-toe dress shoes during their graduation ceremony. Tips on What to Wear to Graduation Probably the best tip you should follow is always dress to impress. This is your chance to wear something glamorous for this special event. You will be taking a ton of photos, so today is probably not the best time to sleep in and forget to shower. Pick something in your dresser that makes you feel beautiful and classy. You want to look like the mature adult you are about to become. Take some extra time to focus on your face and hair. You might want to straighten or curl it. Throw on some concealer and put your best face forward. It is also important to consider what you are wearing under the robe. Some people assume that what they wear under the robe doesn’t matter because it will be covered up anyway. However, that is not entirely the truth, and here is why: You might not have time to change your clothes between the ceremony and your dinner party with your extended family. For this reason, you have to wear something underneath the robe so that you will be ready to go.One tip that many misses is to wear something that has pockets. Carrying a purse or even a cross-body bag will look strange while you are marching down the procession with 500 other people. You can leave your wallet and other things in your car and keep only your keys and phone with you.It is also important to wear something that looks sleek or classy because a graduation robe will add bulk. For example, a full skirt will look strange under a robe. If a skin-tight bandage dress isn't your thing, look for more relaxed and cute pieces of clothing that will be comfortable and not add more volume.Always check the weather. This is essential because nothing will cramp your style quite like freezing or burning up when you are trying to listen to the commencement speakers. Conclusion While graduating is exciting and relief in many ways, it can be daunting for some given the fact that they think it’s hard to find the perfect dress for them. It is not. This is the time to celebrate and commemorate all your success in your school life—and what a perfect way to end it. Celebrate it with your loved ones and have the best time, as you never know when you will see each other again.
