For a graduation, dress a step above the everyday. You will be seated, standing and photographed all day, so comfort matters as much as polish. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. The men's read of this day comes down to a clean silhouette and a quiet palette; the fit does more of the talking than any single piece here.
- Choose shoes you can walk in across a campus.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
