Graduation Attire

Is it necessary to wear a suit when graduating? Is slacks/shirt/tie ok instead of a suit?

Thanks.

yeah I think you'd get away with shirt/ tie/ pants etc cos of the batman cape!!

Not for Grads....for Debs, ye.

I went with the shirt\tie\pants thing last year, and the suit this year... Have to say, I prefered the suit for some reason, but thats just me... A lot of people went shirt\tie\pants, so you'll be grand...

Mind you, I suppose it all depends on where you're graduating from as well...

Between our capes and our red and gold sashes though, we looked like extras from the next Harry Potter movie...

Thanks for the reassurance! Dont actually have a suit and dont want to get one just for this!

BTW I didnt think there would be anyone in here at this hour !

It's as simple as this. Assuming you're having your picture taken with the schlab of paper, wear something that will look good in a picture with you holding a schlab of paper and **** the begrudgers. It's your graduation, not the college's graduation so whatever makes you comfy.

Yeah, i'm wearing some "suitey-type" (yes, that is what's on the label ) trousers, a shirt and a tie.

Should do the job!

just be comfortable and enjoy the day.. add cushioned padding to your ar$e for the ceremony though!! can be kinda long.. although UCC wasn't too bad this year .. just over 1hr.. woo hoo!

Thats a pretty good way of looking at it... Just remember though, smart casual... No tracksuits and cider bottles...

My minds at rest now.

Thanks everyone.
