A "Cap and Gown" refers to the traditional academic dress worn during graduation ceremonies. The cap, often called a mortarboard, features a flat, square top and a tassel that is typically moved from one side to the other to signify graduation. The gown is a long robe that varies in style and color depending on the level of education and the institution. This attire symbolizes the completion of a degree or educational program, marking a significant milestone in a person's life. Graduates from various levels, including high school, college, and university, wear these garments to celebrate their achievements and participate in formal ceremonies.
