What to wear to a graduation? In town or country, here are some great outfits for the graduation guest.  We like a simple sheath dress of cotton.   It is classic look that will put you at the head of the class for all graduation ceremonies.  Remember to check the weather and plan accordingly.  But no matter the location, bring a wrap or cardigan for breezy shady spots, sunglasses, and a hat to protect you from the sun.  Flat sandals or wedges are easy to maneuver in, particularly in grass, and a roomy handbag is essential to fit camera, water, and program.ow-heeled shoes or wedges are stylish solutions for ceremonies on grass, and for the guest, don’t forget a hat, good sunscreen, sunglasses and a bottle of water, if held outdoors.  We had a great time shopping Kate Spade at Nordstorm for this great selection
