Cap and gown
含义: The mortarboard cap and academic robe worn during graduation ceremonies.
The cap and gown is the visual symbol of graduation. Putting it on for the first time is an emotional moment — you feel the weight of your achievement. Decorating the cap ('grad cap') with messages, quotes, and art has become a major tradition. 'Thanks Mom and Dad,' 'First generation,' and pop culture references are common decorations. The tassel starts on the right and moves to the left at the moment you officially graduate. Cap and gown photos are shared everywhere.
