Commissioning attire

<p>Does anyone know how strict the enforcement of "business suit" attire is for the commencement at the stadium? A relative coming does not own a suit and wondered if a nice pair of pants and sport coat will keep him out.</p>

<p>The event, unless one is a Mid, is virtually “anything goes.” Many people dressed to the 9’s … and frying in a “normal” graduation day in May/June in Annapolis . And many in shorts and sport shirts. Wear a tie at your own risk. :eek: It’s pretty relaxed and none enforciing any dress code.</p>

<p>It can be especially brutal for the parents who are given reserved seating … in the sun! Take your sunscreen!:cool:</p>

<p>Your relative’ll be fine if he feels compelled to wear a sport jacket. He’ll be good with or without. Guaranteed.</p>

<p>When we went, people were in many things, but most were dressed very nicely. My husband did wear a suit but my now son in law wore a shirt and tie with no jacket. I was in a dress and my boys (who were 6 and 9 at the time) were in dress shorts and polo shirts. We all fit in well. It is a VERY long day and since you get there really really early to get your seat, I would suggest bringing a hand towel to wipe off dew on the chairs as well as a sweater or light jacket. But be able to take it off as it gets quite warm some days.</p>
