Graduation

Polished under the gown, proud in the photos.

Whether you're graduating or watching someone you love do it, the day is long, the photos are permanent, and the weather rarely cooperates. Graduates dress around the gown - necklines and shoes do all the visible work. Guests aim for smart daytime polish that survives hours of ceremony and lawn.

How to get it right

  • Graduating? The gown hides the middle: neckline and shoes are your whole outfit in photos
  • Lawn ceremonies eat stilettos - block heels or polished flats keep you elegant and mobile
  • Hours of sitting, standing and hugging: breathable fabric with structure beats anything stiff
  • Guests: smart daytime, one step below the graduate - it's their frame, you're the setting
