Help me find something to wear to my sons passing out parade

I'm 43. Don't want to look frumpy. Thought that the pass out parade would be online but looks like they are letting us on site which is amazing ( but means I need something to wear!)

It will be on Oct 1st, outside. I imagine weather can be a bit hit and miss

My sons pass out parade was very informal
I just wore some nice jeans and a smart blazer type jacket with nice loafer shoes
I saw families who had made no effort at all and family who had tee shirts made with their boys name printed on so I wouldn't go overboard
Well done to him for getting through training !

Thanks

If that's the case I might wear jeans, top and blazer
Thank you

You welcome , have a lovely day !

Where is he passing out I’ve been to a few Royal Navy ones at Raleigh, last one 3 years ago and most people do still dress up.

Mine passed out from Sandhurst if it helps

My fiance's passing out parade was at BRNC in Dartmouth and it was quite smart/casual and then everything either side of that! Jeans and a nice top/blazer would be fine!

Royal Marines Lympstone

It's my son's POP soon. I was going to dress up no hat though.

emlouwat how did it go?

It was amazing.

I wore thick black tights and a dress. Boots and coat as it was a bit rainy

When is your sons pass out?

Congratulations! Glad you got to go in person, such a great event!

My son passed out 18 months ago
