The season of graduation and admission is approaching.
I'm Maruko Sakura, a writer for children's clothing brand PETITMIG.
Parents are also present at the child's graduation ceremony and kindergarten entrance ceremony.
Therefore, I am worried about "dress manners for the graduation ceremony and entrance ceremony (entrance) ceremony".
There is no problem if dad attends in a suit, but mom often gets lost because there are many choices.
Therefore, this time, we will introduce the difference in dress manners for mothers at the graduation ceremony and the entrance ceremony, and recommended coordination.
Common dress etiquette for graduation and school entrance ceremonies
Both the graduation ceremony and the entrance ceremony are part of school events.
Graduation ceremony is a ceremony to confer a certificate called a "diploma" that proves that a certain educational course has been completed.
Therefore , the graduation ceremony is a higher class ceremony than the entrance ceremony .
Each ceremony has a "difference in status", but since it is a ceremony that separates the beginning and the end, let's participate in appropriate clothes after taking that into account.
[ Optimal attire for graduation and entrance ceremonies ]
- Graduation Ceremony: Semi-formal
- Kindergarten Entrance Ceremony: Short formal attire
With this alone, it's a bit difficult to decide what kind of clothes to wear.
However, in both ceremonies, don't forget that "the main character is the child", so parents should wear clothes that match the TPO in a calm atmosphere .
Common dress etiquette for graduation and entrance ceremonies "Pay attention to skirt length"
At graduation ceremonies and kindergarten entrance ceremonies, dads and moms often sit in the parent's seat and watch over their children.
The only thing that matters is the length of the skirt .
If you wear a skirt and sit on a chair, the hem will rise.
If you wear a skirt that is too short, you may accidentally see your underwear, so be careful.
Common dress etiquette for graduation and entrance ceremonies: Stockings should match skin color
Choose stockings that match your skin tone .
Graduation ceremonies and entrance ceremonies are held in the cold season, so you may want to choose tights or dark stockings.
However, tights give a casual impression, and black stockings are not recommended because they are associated with mourning clothes.
Common dress etiquette for graduation and kindergarten entrance ceremonies: "The heels of your shoes should not be too high."
The feet of the suit are basically wearing pumps with heels.
However, avoid shoes with too high heels or stiletto heels .
This is because the grounds of gardens and grounds are often bumpy with bare soil.
After the ceremony, you may take a commemorative photo with the children or walk home.
Avoid high heels that may make your feet unstable.
Common dress etiquette for graduation and kindergarten entrance ceremonies "No mourning clothes"
Mourning clothes are a kind of formal wear, but mourning clothes are worn at funerals and wakes .
Don't wear it to festive ceremonies.
What is the recommended attire for the graduation/entrance ceremony?
Since "ceremony" is attached to graduation and admission, you can think of it as " clothing to attend the ceremony ".
Recommended attire for both graduation and kindergarten entrance ceremonies
Suit type is recommended.
Depending on the design and color, there are various things from gorgeous to stiff.
The following types have been popular for a long time.
- Suit (Jacket + Blouse + Skirt)
- One-piece type (including jacket)
- pants suit
Graduation ceremonies and entrance ceremonies can be worn with this type of attire.
Recommended color for graduation ceremony "Chic color (dark color)"
Graduation ceremonies are high-class ceremonies, so we recommend suits in calm and chic colors .
[calm chic color]
- black
- gray
- navy
We recommend “Navy”.
Navy is a calm color, but it also has a gorgeous look.
If you want to wear it for the entrance ceremony after the graduation ceremony, if you choose navy, just change the accessories and bag to make it look more gorgeous.
Recommended color for the entrance ceremony "Gorgeous color"
The recommended color for the kindergarten entrance ceremony is a “ glamorous color ” that is suitable for a celebration ceremony.
[Gorgeous color]
- beige
- White
- navy
However, even if it is gorgeous, the main character of the ceremony is the child, so choose calm and gorgeous colors.
Recommended accessories for graduation and entrance ceremonies
When attending a ceremony, don't just dress and shoes, but also pay attention to accessories.
Especially for mothers who are thinking about wearing different outfits for the graduation ceremony and kindergarten entrance ceremony, the accessories you choose will change the impression , so choose accessories that match each ceremony.
Recommended accessory for graduation and entrance ceremony "Pearl"
Pearl is a classic among classics.
A single necklace gives a simple but elegant impression.
The "glamour" changes just by changing the size of the grains and the size of the grains, so the impression will change completely .
Recommended accessories for the entrance ceremony
The kindergarten entrance ceremony is a celebratory ceremony, so I would like to add something extravagant.
Recommended for the entrance ceremony "Corsage with pearl"
A corsage with pearls makes you feel not only gorgeousness but also a calm atmosphere .
If you wear a corsage around your chest, you won't lose your gorgeousness even if you don't wear a necklace or earrings.
If you have a metal allergy and can't wear necklaces or earrings, corsages are recommended.
"One diamond" recommended for the entrance ceremony
I would also recommend Diamond.
Although it is simple, it is a gemstone that is also gorgeous, so a single diamond necklace will give you an elegant feeling.
"Brooch" recommended for entrance ceremony
A corsage will lose its shape if it is not stored in a case, so if you are worried about a smaller accessory, a brooch is also recommended.
The brooch is also a combination of "pearl and diamond", which is elegant itself.
While creating a calm atmosphere , it also makes you feel gorgeous , so if you have one of these combinations, it will come in handy.
