Yet another graduation question

[kas48]

This may be a stupid question, but what should my boyfriend wear to come to the graduation ceremony? My grandparents are also coming, but somehow I know they'll be fine.

Most male partners or family tend to some in a suit, or shirt and smart trousers. He would probably be best in a suit with a shirt and no tie, unless he wants to be particularly formal.

A suit here is fine.

Are Scots not allowed to wear kilts then?

[Fionnlagh]

I wore a kilt with a culloden shirt for my girlfriend's graduation. see http://www.college-of-piping.co.uk/acatalog/110010G.jpg[url]http://[/url]

There was a reasonable number of kilts in the audience, mostly with tweed jackets if I remember rightly.

Yes, a Kilt is best, but please bring proof of nationality.

Unless of course you have a canadian passport, becuase that automatically makes you scottish, as your great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather or something was called hamish.
Sorry. Been a long day.

Everyone has a connection. Scotland was the birthplace of the human race it seems.

At this point shouldn't someone be saying that if he's a graduate of the University of Such-and-such then he could wear his gown and hood appropriate to his highest degree, unless it's a University of Somewhere hood because there's an ancient rule saying they're banned etc etc... ?

Nah, because if that was the case I wouldn't have bothered asking.

I'd probably advise against a man wearing a skirt to a graduation ceremony. It's not big and it's not clever.

The correct attire is a dark suit with tie. And not one with reindeers or any other stupid crap on it.

Unix Kid, please, please tell me you didnt just call the Kilt a Skirt??

I don't hate the Scottish, or in fact Scotland. I was just pointing out the entirely obvious fact that the kilt is a skirt. I'm not being derogatory, is someone a bit self conscious?
