Academic dress or academical dress (also known in the
United States as academic regalia) is traditional
clothing worn specifically in
academic settings. Nowadays, it is more commonly seen only at
graduation ceremonies, but in former times academic dress was, and to a lesser extent in many ancient
universities still is, worn on a daily basis. It today generally consists of a
gown (also known as a robe) with a separate hood, and sometimes a cap (either a
mortarboard or a
bonnet). Academic dress is also worn by members of certain
learned societies and institutions as official dress.
