You’ve made it! After studying so hard, cramming for tests and finishing all those assignments, the day is finally here! Your loved ones will be joining you, proud and happy to see you accomplish this important milestone and will be taking many pictures that day, so you need to look your best.

Here are some tips to help you look sharp and be comfortable on Commencement Day:

  3. Dress smart. Yes, you will be wearing a gown, but what you wear underneath matters! You will be taking many pictures with family and friends and perhaps going out later. Choose an outfit that looks good with and without the cap and gown and that doesn’t wrinkle easily.
