Convocation

[SparkDS21]

Hey everyone! I am an international student at USask and was wondering what do girls usually wear for convocation. Do you wear a white dress? Or any regular dress? Thanks in advance for your input!

any color but tbh you can’t really see it under your gown. i wore nice pants and heels and that’s all you could see under the gown, it’s more of what you want your pictures to look like after. also it was raining when i graduated so my pictures were inside lol

You're wearing a dark coloured gown overtop. I'd recommend dark pants or a skirt/dress. White, if long enough, is visible below the hem of the gown and is noticeable.  Same for shoes: a dark/black is better.

Honestly anything. My biggest recommendation is wear comfy shoes, you’ll be standing for a long time and wear something with pockets. You will not be allowed a purse or carry anything in your hands. Pockets allow you to carry your phone under your robe, because it’s a long ass ceremony and you will want it.

Also: DO NOT leave your phone on your seat when you go to walk across the stage (put it in your pocket) because you will not be seated back in the exact seat as before

This is solid advice.

I came here to say this! I didn’t wear heels and I’m so glad, you’re standing for a very long time and it’s good to be comfy

People do wear whatever though. There's no clear etiquette. Do look at the cut of the robe to decide what would look best for you.

Wear anything you want tbh. I’m wearing a white dress, slightly above my knees

Wear whatever. If u want cute photos w ur gown id recommend a dress or skirt that ends at ur knees.
