Explore the Symbolism and Prestige of Doctoral Degree Gowns

Doctoral degree gowns hold a rich tradition and symbolism, representing the pinnacle of academic achievement. These gowns, often referred to as doctoral robes or regalia, serve as a visual representation of the wearer's scholarly accomplishments and the institution they represent.

Significance of All-Black Gowns with Black Velvet

The classic image of a doctoral robe often features an all-black gown with intricate black velvet accents, particularly on the front panels and sleeve cuffs. The choice of black symbolizes the seriousness, solemnity, and dignity of academia. The luxurious black velvet signifies the discipline and rigor that define the journey toward earning a doctoral degree.

Wearing Gowns with Colors

While the traditional all-black gown is deeply symbolic, some institutions incorporate specific colors or elements into doctoral regalia. These colors often denote fields of study, academic disciplines, or the university's colors. For instance, a splash of a distinctive hue on the velvet trim, hood, or sleeves might represent a specific academic department or discipline. This customization adds a personal touch to the regalia while honoring the diverse fields of study pursued by doctoral scholars.

The Impact of Academic Prestige

Wearing doctoral gowns holds a special significance during commencement ceremonies, academic convocations, and other scholarly events. The attire not only reflects the individual's scholarly achievements but also contributes to the overall atmosphere of achievement, tradition, and scholarly excellence. It signifies the dedication, hard work, and expertise that culminate in earning a doctoral degree. Here's a comprehensive color chart outlining the meanings associated with different colors for doctoral graduation robes:

• Represents solemnity, formality, and the traditional color of doctoral regalia.
• Symbolizes the discipline, dignity, and seriousness of academic achievement.
• Signifies philosophy, a broad field encompassing wisdom, intellect, and scholarship.
• Represents the study of liberal arts, including literature, history, and the humanities.

Gold/Yellow:

• Symbolizes excellence, achievement, and the highest level of academic accomplishment.
• Represents the fields of science, mathematics, and social sciences.
• Represents growth, fertility, and the natural world.
• Signifies the study of medicine, pharmacy, and related health sciences.
• Symbolizes royalty, power, and ambition.
• Represents the study of law, jurisprudence, and political science.
• Signifies passion, energy, and determination.
• Represents the study of arts, including music, fine arts, and performing arts.

Light Blue/Cyan:

• Symbolizes tranquility, creativity, and innovation.
• Represents the study of education, pedagogy, and instructional design.
• Signifies stability, reliability, and practicality.
• Represents the study of business, management, and related disciplines.
• Symbolizes compassion, nurturing, and understanding.
• Represents the study of social work, counseling, and psychology.

Silver/Gray:

• Signifies neutrality, balance, and practicality.
• Represents interdisciplinary studies or a combination of various fields.
• Symbolizes purity, innocence, and spirituality.
• Represents the study of theology, divinity, and religious studies.
• Signifies enthusiasm, creativity, and determination.
• Represents the study of communication, journalism, and media studies.

Doctoral degree gowns, whether in traditional all-black with black velvet or adorned with specific colors, stand as a symbol of academic accomplishment, knowledge, and dedication. They embody the rich heritage of academia and serve as a testament to the wearer's commitment to advancing knowledge in their field. Whether steeped in tradition or personalized with vibrant hues, these gowns showcase the culmination of years of scholarly pursuit and excellence.

What Is The Best Dress To Wear For Graduation?

The best dress to wear for graduation will depend on your school’s dress code and the graduation dress that makes you feel confident and proud to celebrate the occasion. Popular graduation dress styles include skater, high-low, and dress designs that are shorter than the length of your graduation gown. A skater or midi dress is a perfect option because they usually do not add bulk or weight to your graduation attire . Discover cute, flared skater dresses with pockets, sexy ruched dresses, and figure-flattering wrap satin dresses as your short dress options.

What you wear with your cap and gown, from shoes and accessories to clothing, should be comfortable as you may have to sit for a while, stand up and down, and walk a short length to and from your seat. If white is part of your commencement dress code, choose here from an assortment of little white dresses in lace, satin, or glitter, short skater dresses, and trendy square-neck dresses in off-white to ivory. Also, think about happenings after the ceremony. If you’ll be attending a graduation party, celebration, or dinner, pick a dress you can style up or down accordingly.

Once you’ve got an idea of the type of dress you want, it’s also essential to take the weather into account. For instance, a ceremony that takes place outdoors during warm months will call for lightweight fabrics like chiffon as opposed to a winter ceremony that calls for more rich fabrics like velvet. If you’re looking for dress alternatives, a sleek jumpsuit or a dressy floral romper dress brings the glam too while offering added comfort.

As far as what not to wear, avoid any attire that may violate your high school, college, or university dress code or that can make you feel over or underdressed. For example, you may want to save your ball gown for another occasion to avoid feeling overdressed; on the other hand, save your jeans for more casual occasions. If you are a guest attending the ceremony, the dress code options will be different and usually more open. Striking the right balance of dressy casual is how you know your graduation dress is on point. This graduation season stay chic and comfortable in gorgeous dresses and on-trend outfits that make you feel confident as you celebrate this major accomplishment!

Is There A Dress Code For Graduation?

Yes, some high schools, universities, colleges, and organizations may have a dress code to consider for graduation ceremonies. Be sure to check your attire against these guidelines when picking the perfect outfit because your style options may range from smart casual to business professional, dressy to semi-formal. Your graduation dress should be appropriate enough to not feel out of place, but also comfortable enough to wear for long periods as graduation ceremonies are known to be hours in length. Aim for a timeless, polished look that makes you feel confident and that you can look back at with pride. Be sure to unpack/unwrap your regalia (i.e. cap, gown, tassels, stole, etc.) to take out wrinkles and to make sure you know how each piece should be worn. If your school’s commencement dress code is unclear, consider running your look by your squad to check for any red flags with your look. Picking your graduation dress should adhere to guidelines while reflecting your personal style and celebrating your accomplishments.

Celebrate in best phd regalia

Congratulations!

You've done all the hard work, now it's time to celebrate! We offer high quality doctoral regalia at a great price.

Let customers speak for us.

Good quality robe and fits nicely. Gets the job done…

"Made-to-Order" Doctoral Regalia Set

The quality is great for half the price Jostens charges. I appreciate how nicely everything was packed and ready for wear or for storage. Thank you!

Thank you for the custom doctoral hood. The colors matched my university's very well and, more importantly, it is a very high quality hood and it reminds me how this regalia was actually standard dress for faculty once upon a time. I purchased my gown, hood, and tam from Phinished and can imagine how these garments could be daily garb. Thank you for the care you put in to tailoring this regalia and appreciating the work we put in to Phinishing these degrees.

I ordered a gown for the University of Notre Dame - since someone had done this previously, they already had the school emblems that go on the front panels. (If you're also at ND, you'll want to order the gown with embroidery, and 8-sided tam. I believe colors are royal blue and gold). I can't verify that the gown is identical to the official one because I live elsewhere and am not attending commencement, but it looks and feels great. Way better deal than going through the university. They can be a bit slow over email, but once they respond, customer service is excellent.

My gown fits perfectly - it is so nice and cozy! I am not really sure what the gowns provided by the university look/feel like, but this gown seems like it is high-quality!

These are excellent. The robe has buttons exactly where it is convenient for making everything hang properly. Love the pockets. Very fairly priced in comparison to other comparable robes (similar fabrics etc) and of comparable, if not better, quality. Regalia is a big, complicated, bulky garment - these hang nicely, the fabric feels nice, and they have nice finishing touches. Everything arrived well before graduation

I shopped for a long time to find the right doctoral gown and tam. I purchased the classic black gown with blue PhD velvet. Excellent quality. And the tam is perfect. Really, it is - I have a tam from another vendor, it cost the same, but nowhere nearly as nice as this one from PhinisheD - I'm tempted to wear it as a fall weather hat! Regarding the gown, this is a professional looking, faculty quality gown that can last decades of commencements and convocations, etc. If you aren't looking for wool or to spend more than $1,000, then I don't think you can get a better gown. Looks great -- a nice black matte. Feels great - heavy, substantial feel. Has pockets. There are a lot of gowns online for about the same price, but the photos on PhinisheD web site revealed the quality, and when I got the gown, the impressions I got from the Web site matched what I actually received. Many thanks! Ordering my hood right now from PhinisheD.

Team was very communicative throughout the process and the final product looks terrific! Love that there are pockets :)

I received my regalia in a timely manner and was very pleased upon wearing the attire for an academic event. The quality of the materials is high, and the construction is also high quality. I hope to use this for many years to come.

California Doctoral Regalia

The quality of the regalia from PhinisheD Gown is incredible, and so much nicer than the set I could have gotten from my university. Jane was quick to answer my questions over email and helped me choose the correct size gown. Once shipped it only took 2 days to arrive!

I had ordered the doctoral regalia so that I could participate in proper attire at the graduation ceremonies at my current institution. I am very happy with the PhinishedD gown. More importantly, the team rushed the delivery when things were running late so that I could get the regalia in time for the commencement ceremony in May. Thank you!

thank you love it!!

Thank you to the PhinisheD Gown team! My order arrived early and I love it! It was quite the journey getting finished with my doctorate- I appreciate this team for being one the final (and most important) steps!

Kokum, grandson proud to graduate Grade 12 together in James Smith Cree Nation

Brenda 'connie' stonestand, 63, says it's been a dream of hers to go back to school.

Social Sharing

Grade 12 student Sage Stonestand-Checkosis walks through the hall of his school with his kokum, or grandmother, Brenda "Connie" Stonestand.

But he's not giving her a tour — she's a fellow student.

Sage, 17, and Connie, 63, are graduating together this year from Bernard Constant Community School in James Smith Cree Nation, located approximately 200 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.

"It's like waking up and seeing a whole new world, all new opportunities," Connie said.

When she was younger, she endured bullying and violence in school. Connie said she and her sister were eventually forced to drop out to care for her ailing mother.

For more than a decade, Connie worked as a liaison officer and guidance counsellor at the school, which runs from pre-kindergarten to Grade 12. But she hasn't been in a classroom as a student for more than 40 years.

"I've seen a lot of students walking back and forth — how proud they were. And you know, I wish I could have had that feeling too. But I didn't have that chance," Connie said.

Helping other adult ed students

Last fall, the school started an adult education program, and Connie was the first person to enrol.

"I signed up because I really wanted to do this. This was a dream I had," she said.

When she decided she wanted to go back to school, her records couldn't be found, so the school didn't know which grade she had completed. Because of this gap, she had to take all of her Grade 12 classes from the beginning.

Connie made it a priority to attend every day from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. She said she would even go to the other adult education students' houses to pick them up.

School will open a lot of doors for them and help them look after their families, Connie said.

"I knock on a door and make sure they're coming because I want to make sure they come to school and they get their Grade 12, too," she said. "Because we're going to do it as a team."

Graduating 'a dream' for Kokum getting her Grade 12 with grandson

It's been less than two years since 11 people were killed and 18 injured at James Smith and in nearby Weldon, Sask., in one of the worst mass stabbings in Canadian history. Connie said that no matter the obstacle — trauma, addictions, poverty — education is the key to healing and a better life.

• Families, communities of past Sask. tragedies offer condolences to James Smith Cree Nation, Weldon

"I want to show the young people that it's not too late to go back to school, get your education, because it's the most important thing in this world," Connie said.

Hope to inspire others: principal

Bernard Constant Community School principal Codi Baptiste said this joint graduation is a rare occasion at the school.

"We're just so proud of them and I think that it's just such a wonderful thing to witness," said Baptiste.

He said that the school and community will make it a point to celebrate this special duo during the graduation ceremony on June 15.

"We hope more people will be inspired to come back to school and finish their Grade 12," said Baptiste.

Before the graduation ceremony, Connie's children wanted to do something special to honour her and her husband, Daniel Stonestand, who died six years ago.

Kokum shows off the ribbon dress for her Grade 12 graduation

They had a graduation dress made with the colours from her wedding day, combined with Daniel's ceremonial colours. He was a sweat keeper and pipe carrier in their community. 

Connie said she cried and hugged the dress when they gave it to her.

"I want to wear these colours to honour him because I know he would be proud of me," Connie said.

Connie wants kids to know they can go back to school at any age.

"It's a hard life when you don't have any education. You've just got to take jobs that are just jobs," she said.

"Even though I'm old as I am, I still want to go further, to be more educated so more doors open for me."

Support from kokum, family

Sage said he's proud of his kokum, and is honoured to be graduating with her.

"Now we don't have to plan our grad parties on different dates; we could plan ours on the same day," Sage said with a laugh.

Sage said high school has had its challenges, but he has had his mom and auntie and kokum push him to keep going.

"I am pretty thankful for them, for encouraging us to get our work done," said Sage.

His mother and aunt are teachers, and his brother and cousin attend the University of Saskatchewan. They plan to host a graduation barbecue at home, and their classmates and family will join them to celebrate this special day.

Connie joked she is going to join her grandson at his grad after party, but then admitted she'll let him have fun with his friends instead.

Both Sage and Connie want to continue their education after they graduate. Sage said he plans to attend the University of Saskatchewan, and wants to become an actor, and Connie has dreams of her own.

"I know there's no chance for me to be a doctor, but there's a chance of me being an addiction counsellor," Connie said.

"I'm just looking forward to it."
