What did you wear to your kid’s graduation?

Did you feel good? I don’t want to do MOTB or trussed up in some floral shit.

What are your top tips?

I had a graduation ceremony in 1083, in the UK. My parents dressed smartly, but not as if going to a wedding.

1983. I feel ancient, but I’m not a Norman.

Laughing at the poster who says graduation ceremonies are not a "thing". There was a whole industry around them in Glasgow when I graduated early 90s - special graduation photography packages, all the restaurants offering graduation set lunches for before/after the ceremony, robe hire etc etc

Agree with what everyone says re dress. Smart trousers and shirt for men - probably not tie and jacket if it's hot. Tea dress or work dress for women. No hats, no jeans, no trainers, no shorts.

I am hoping to graduate again in November next year with a Masters and my teenage DD is planning her outfit already.

I couldn't go to DS's because of Covid regulations so that solved the problem of what to wear!

My daughter is graduating in the summer, I’ve bought a floral dress from hush on a fb group. I’ve booked to get my make up done, I’m really looking forward to it as she is the first on both sides to graduate so super proud

@JaneJeffer I'm gong to my dc's in the Summer. They finished their degree in 2020.

I will probably be "wearing some floral shit" though. I did when my eldest graduated
