What to wear to DDs graduation?

She said as long as its not my tie dye dungarees she doesn’t care.

I have no idea.

Plainish medium formal dress? If you normally tend to the boho, you could get away with something simple and scoop necked?

These are nice;

I do tend to the boho or just scruffy. I live in jeans when my dungarees are in the wash.

That first one is nice.

There may well be a dress code. Parents/guests at my graduation last year were advised to dress as though they were going to a wedding. That first dress looks more formal than the navy one.
If there isn’t a specific dress code, I’d still probably err on the side of smart casual.

I would say smart casual although I work in a university and people wear whatever they feel comfortable in. It is definately not wedding dress code.

Hmm, maybe my university was oddly posh then...

at my son's graduation there was a real mix. some people looked like they had just been clubbing (short skirts/high heels) and i'm talking about the mothers here and not in an especially good way. others looked as if they were going to a wedding, some had casual trousers. i had a nice dress and cashmere cardi and felt comfortable and middle of the road.

there was a lot of walking and standing up, so wear comfy shoes or take a bag with some spare ones in
