How to Dress for a Graduation Party

The tone of a graduation party dictates the way you dress. A graduate should not dress in a suit and tie if he is attending a bonfire, and jeans would not be appropriate at a nice restaurant. You should dress for a graduation party in a different way than you dress at commencement to change your appearance in pictures.

Instructions

    • 1

      Read through an invitation to a graduation party for clues on appropriate dress. The name of a party venue and the font used on the invitation should give you a good guide on what clothes to bring to the party.

    • 2

      Communicate with your friends to coordinate apparel for a graduation party. You can avoid wearing the same outfit as a friend to the same party with a phone call before you get dressed.

    • 3

      Pack a warm sweater in your car as you head out to parties after graduation. You can slide on a sweater over nice clothing as temperatures decrease in the evening.

    • 4

      Store your extra clothing and accessories in a gym bag to help you dress quickly between graduation parties. A gym bag is light and flexible, which helps you cut down on items carried from place to place after graduation.

    • 5

      Wear old jeans and a pair of sneakers to avoid damage to nice clothing at a graduation bonfire. Most attendees will wear casual clothing, which should put your mind at ease about being underdressed.

    • 6

      Utilize a business casual mind set as you dress for a graduation party at a nice restaurant. Male graduates should wear khakis and nice shirts while female graduates can wear simple dresses to fit in with the rest of the crowd.

    • 7

      Turn your car into a portable closet to cut down on the number of trips made between graduation parties. Hang nice clothing on slots in the rear driver and passenger sides to prevent wrinkling.

    • 8

      Stay dressed in your graduation clothing long enough to pose for pictures by family, friends and classmates. You can sacrifice a few minutes after commencement to take pictures before you dress in something more comfortable.

Tips & Warnings

  • Carry a pair of sandals along as you head out to a graduation party. Dress shoes and heels can become uncomfortable for graduates during hours of commencement, which makes a pair of sandals a lifesaver. A pair of sandals with back straps provide more comfort than flip-flops during a long graduation party.
