What should I wear for my thesis defense?

I don't really know what the appropriate attire should be (other than no flip-flops or shorts). My interview suit is way too hot to wear in College Station (TX) in June. I will have to walk a long way from the parking garage to the building and I want to be comfortable, yet not too casual. I am thinking of buying some light-weight slacks and a short-sleeved shirt of some kind. The suit I wear for job interviews in gray and polyester (some cheap thing I bought at Kohls). It would be appropriate but highly uncomfortable for the ride home (5 hours more or less). We have to check out of the motel early so I won't be able to go back and change there.

Hopefully, though, they will only ask tough questions and not throw things.

Good luck!

Unless it's Womens Studies, in which case you're screwn!

Bring it with you and change there. I've heard of people getting failed because they didn't wear a suit - it was considered not taking the procedure seriously.

The suit - take it and change there then change back when it's over. Just duck into a restroom. Anything less and they could see it as disreptectful and not being serious.

Pity. The thesis should be the thing, but people do judge on appearance.

Khash.
