Graduation robes are special garments worn by students during their graduation ceremonies. These robes are typically made of lightweight fabric and come in various colors, often representing the school's colors or the specific degree being awarded. They usually have long sleeves and a flowing design, symbolizing the transition from student to graduate. In addition to the robe, graduates often wear a cap known as a mortarboard, which features a flat top and a tassel. The combination of the robe and cap signifies academic achievement and is a tradition in many educational institutions around the world.
