I will be graduating from University in the summer and have been informed that the dress code for the day/graduation ceremony is "Academic white tie" which consists of:
" Dark lounge suit with black shoes, white shirt and white bow tie. The kilt may be worn with dark jacket and kilt hose. "
I won't be wearing a kilt, so I suppose I will be wearing a white bow tie with a suit, which sounds pretty odd to me. Obviously it will be with a gown and matching natty headgear, I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this as a dress code before, if there is any history to it.
I rather suspect that it is just something the university made up to make the ceremony more "accessible". What does one traditionally graduate in?
