What to wear beneath
graduation gowns
Caps and gowns are as
much a graduation tradition
as the playing of "Pomp and
Circumstance." The gown and
other accoutrements are cus-
toms that have been passed
down through generations,
dating back to the early days
of academia. Colors, stripes,
positioning of graduation tas-
sels, and the shapes of sleeves
and hoods all may offer infor-
mation about graduates and the
degrees they earn.
Graduation attire ensures
grads look uniform and profes-
| sional. Although there's little

variation in how to wear the
cap and gown, graduates do
have flexibility with regard to
the clothing they wear beneath
their ensembles. It may be
tempting to go casual beneath a
cap and gown, but grads might
regret that decision when tak-
ing post-ceremony pictures.
Some graduates think it
doesn't matter what they wear
beneath the gown, feeling the
gown will cover everything
anyway. But that isn't true, as
grads can expect at least a por-
tion of their attire to be peek-
ing through their graduation

Jesus said, “and I
will make you fishers of men.”

gowns. Many such gowns end
at the knee or slightly below,
making it easy for everyone to
see graduates’ pants and shoes,
Both male and female
grads can benefit from wear-
ing something classy beneath
their gowns. A crisp collared
shirt can look sharp for men
and women alike. Guys might
want to wear a tie for that extra
touch. Graduation gowns tend
to be solid colors and may be
quite bland, so a shirt with a
splash of color can make a
statement that is neither bold
nor silly.
Remember to wear some-
thing form-fitting or slim cut
under the gown. The grad-
uation robe is voluminous
enough without adding any
extra girth from bulky clothing,
Graduation gowns fall short of
form-flattering, so wearing
many layers beneath a gown
will only add to the volume.
Consider the bottoms worn
as well. Men can choose khakis
or solid-colored slacks. Avoid
wearing pants that are the same
color as the graduation robe,
as you want a little contrast.
Women who wear skirts or
dresses that end above the knee
and will not show beneath the
gown hem have more freedom.
Avoid long skirts or dresses
that can make the outfit look
weighed down when paired
with the gown.
Graduates’ shoes will be on
full display come the big day.
Therefore, wear new, clean
shoes that are presentable and
formal. Avoid sneakers or flip-
flops, which are too casual.
Keep in mind the location of
the ceremony and the forecast.
If you will be trekking across
a muddy football field, wear
a closed-in, durable shoe, as
heels or open sandals may
cause you to trip or sink into
the turf. Dress appropriately
for the temperature, too. A
summer graduation may be hot
and stuffy, especially outdoor
ceremonies under the blazing
sun. Wear lightweight clothing
and plenty of sunblock to stay
comfortable and safe. Dress
in layers if it is chilly so you
can remove layers as necessary
should temperatures fluctuate.
The style of the graduation
cap will affect hairstyles and
other accessories, including
earrings. Clean, brushed hair
is most suitable for both men
and women. Updos are imprac-
tical. If you want your hair off
of your face, consider a braid.
Keep earrings simple and tuck
any chunky necklaces under
the gown to maintain an ele-
gant and streamlined look.
Graduation attire can set the
tone for the ceremony and life
after school. Dress appropri-
ately because all eyes will be
on you.
