What is the attire for Commencement?
The weather in Houston in May is very hot and humid, and all events held indoors will be in air-conditioned venues. Men typically wear nice shirts and slacks or a coat and tie to the indoor events. However, the Commencement ceremony itself will be held outside, and most men find coats and ties to be uncomfortable. Ladies typically wear nice slacks, skirts, or dresses. Light colors and fabrics are recommended for the outdoor ceremony.
