Time for my college graduation ceremony soon. I shall be purchasing a new suit, and it will be black. BUT, I'm not sure as to the shirt and tie...

Should I go

a) with a white shirt and black tie? (A bit funereal?)

b)with a white shirt and some other colour tie?

c) with a black shirt and black tie. Is this completely taboo? (a bit preacher-esque?)

d) with a black shirt and charcoal/grey tie?

e) with a charcoal shirt and black tie?

f) Away.

I'm not a fan of exotically coloured shirts.

What colour is your hood/epitogue?

I'm not suggesting you match it, but it might be an idea to pick something that won't clash loudly with it (unless you don't mind cringing when you look back at your photos in years to come).

All I'll say is...
Anything but a White or Cream suit !!

When I graduated last year 2 guys in my class got the oddest looks, simply because the gown is black and there is such a contrast.

I'll be graduating again this year and I must start thinking about the wardrobe. Think though it will be black - white - black again.

I wore my normal raggedy clothes under my robe. Did the job just fine. Handed it back ASAP.

One guy wore a Superman suit.

Robes will be basic black I believe. It's about time I owned a suit anyway, so I shall be buying one. I don't care for photos with me in them, so I'm also not very worried about that. I've canvassed other people on the matter and most seem to favour option D, with a few strongly advocating the all black dealy.

The epitogue/hood is the thing that goes around your neck, last year mine was red and blue. I would go for all black or black and grey
