Have you just passed your final exams and your university has organised a solemn graduation ceremony <\/strong>? Whether this is an official event that requires you to wear the university gown<\/strong> or not, you will need to choose an appropriate attire to wear underneath the ceremonial garment or to meet the dress codes for such a reception.<\/p>

Graduation represents the culmination of a long course of study and the successful completion of an examination, but it is also a way of representing the end of student life and the entry into working and professional life. This ceremony is a time for sharing and celebration between students and their teachers, but also with family, relatives and friends.<\/p>

So it’s important to know what to wear to the graduation ceremony<\/strong>, depending on whether you’re a man or a woman.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What attire should you wear to a graduation ceremony if you're a woman?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

One of the most important rules to bear in mind when choosing what to wear to this graduation event is to always opt for elegance and sobriety.<\/p>

Although the university gown, cap and tassel<\/strong> are essential elements of any official graduation ceremony<\/strong>, this attire should be accompanied by a classic mid-length dress, a woman’s suit or, if a cocktail party or gala is planned afterwards, an evening gown. Whichever garment you choose, it’s essential to ensure that the length of the dress is no longer than the length of the gown.<\/p>

A classic, chic and refined piece of fashion is preferable, preferably in plain colours. When it comes to accessories, a clutch bag or discreet handbag, a pair of pumps and a few pieces of jewellery that aren’t too shiny will go perfectly with your attire. For the look, opt for a low-cut hairstyle that will make wearing the university cap more comfortable, and light make-up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For young male graduates, suit trousers and shirts are de rigueur. Preferably, you should choose a very formal white shirt and dark-coloured trousers, the important thing being that the style and colour of your trouser bottoms match your university gown.<\/p>

When it comes to accessorising your graduation ceremony attire, go for understated elegance. City shoes such as derbies, moccasins or Richelieu and a tie or bow tie for a chic touch.<\/p>

Finally, when it comes to choosing your university gown, cap and tassel, the first thing to consider is the intended use according to your field of teaching and any conditions laid down by your university.<\/p>

Some universities choose to provide each student with personalised attire. If this is not the case, you can call on specialist manufacturers such as HEMREX, which sells or rents official gowns for students, lecturers and university presidents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
