Congratulations, Kovsie! Your graduation day at the University of the Free State is almost here, and you deserve to celebrate this incredible achievement in style. Whether you’re graduating in Bloemfontein or at one of the satellite campuses, looking your best will make those photos even more memorable.
Your UFS Graduation Gown Essentials
The most important part of your graduation outfit is, of course, your academic regalia. Your UFS graduation gown, hood, and mortarboard are non-negotiable – they’re what make you officially look the part of a proud graduate.
At MD Gowns, we provide complete graduation gown sets that include everything you need. Our gowns are freshly cleaned and hygienically pressed before every hire, so you’ll look crisp and professional when you walk across that stage.
What to Wear Under Your Gown
What you wear underneath your gown matters more than you might think. Here are some guidelines to help you choose wisely:
- For the ladies: A smart dress, skirt and blouse, or formal trousers with a neat top work beautifully. Stick to solid, neutral colours that won’t clash with your gown and hood.
- For the gents: A collared shirt with formal trousers is the classic choice. A tie adds a polished touch, but make sure it complements your faculty colours.
- Footwear: Choose comfortable, closed shoes. Ladies, if you’re wearing heels, make sure you can walk confidently – you don’t want to wobble on stage!
Remember, Bloemfontein weather can be unpredictable, so dress for the season and check the forecast beforehand.
Finishing Touches That Make a Difference
The little details can elevate your graduation look from good to stunning. Consider professional graduation makeup to look flawless in photos – we even offer graduation makeup services to help you glow on your special day.
A beautiful bouquet of flowers is another lovely touch, whether for yourself or to receive from proud family members. Fresh flowers photograph wonderfully and add colour to your celebration.
