Graduation attire?

[Mayday981]

Hey guys, I'm going to head over from LA to Eugene, Oregon for my godsister's graduation. Thing is I"m not sure what to wear. I've gone in the past to my friend's graduations and I just wore a polo shirt and jeans. I sort of wanna wear something nice this time, anybody have any suggestions?

Slacks, dress shirt and possibly tie? I'd avoid a jacket just because some graduations are crazy casual and while you want to look nice, you don't want to look overly dressed and "too good" for everyone. It depends how formal it is though. You could play with a sweater vest if you have one with patterned pants. A lot of GetSmart's looks would work well, as they're dressy, but not so much as to draw unnecessary attention.

I went to a graduation last week and wore cords, white dress shirt tucked in, blue button up cardigan, a loose tie, and a pair of loafers.

It's not formal actually, it's not an ivy league school. It's just a regular college graduation I guess.

Just a pair of slacks and a tucked in shirt will do. If you have a jacket, that's better. I wouldn't think about it too much. Just go and celebrate with her.
