Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Consider the type of school your relative is graduating from. Anticipate a dressy casual crowd, as graduations are memorable events.

  2. Step 2

    Attend a professional school ceremony, such as law school or a military academy, in a suit and tie (men) and a nice dress and heels (women). Opt for lightweight materials such as cotton and linen for summer, and keep warm in the fall and winter with wool pants or a sweater dress and tights.

  3. Step 3

    Wear a sport coat, slacks and a button-down shirt (men) and a nice skirt and silk blouse (women) for junior high and high school graduation ceremonies.

  4. Step 4

    Select shoes that are dressy yet comfortable, as you'll be on your feet the better part of the day.

  5. Step 5

    Choose colors that flatter your features. You'll be a part of many pictures and video recordings, so you'll want to look your best!
