ACADEMIC APPAREL GUIDE
Master’s Graduation Gown Guide
Compare master gown details, academic hoods and sizing so your outfit matches the ceremony and degree requirements.
Choosing master’s academic dress
Master gowns are often recognized by distinctive sleeve construction. The exact shape differs between academic systems, and the hood can carry important degree or institutional colors.
Confirm whether you need a US-style or UK-style outfit, then check the gown, hood and cap separately. Do not choose a hood by color alone; shape, lining and edge details can matter.
Details to compare
| Area | What to review | Best reference |
|---|---|---|
| Gown style | US and UK traditions may use different shapes | Country and institution rules |
| Academic hood | Shape, lining and trim may identify the degree | Official hood specification |
| Cap | Mortarboard or another approved style | Ceremony guidance |
