Graduation Gowns
Graduation gowns have evolved from those worn by previous generations. The gowns that were worn then could not be distinguished from those worn by religious leaders. This is because most of the instructors were either bishops, priests or worked in the church. Therefore there was no need to adopt a special gown for graduation ceremonies. The gowns worn were of the same color; black and it was the same for all the graduates. However, as time went on and with the growth of learning institutions the graduation gowns have been modified, according to the institution concerned.
The gowns worn by bachelor graduates used to be open, but this has now changed with most colleges opting for closed gowns. The gowns for those graduating with doctorate and masters degree are not identical to those worn by bachelor graduates. Before deciding on the type of graduation gowns to buy, graduates are advised to first consult with their respective schools. The requirements will differ depending on the traditions of the school and the field of study one is graduating from. The gowns can either be hired from the institution or bought from online shops. The gown is not worn on its own, but one must wear either a suit or a dress (in case of women) underneath the gown.
