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 women's read of this day is usually one considered piece with quieter support around it, rather than several competing ideas.
- Choose shoes you can walk in across a campus.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- Choose one deliberate detail, a colour, a texture or a print, and keep the rest plain.
