Cream Polo, Black Tailored Trousers, Charcoal Blazer, Black Derby, Burgundy Wool Scarf. A formal combination for graduation in temperate weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
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. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. 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.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
