Hat Postgraduate

The Postgraduate cap is a black graduation cap with a square board, a gold-coloured band around the edge and a yellow tassel on a cord. The tassel immediately catches the eye: it hangs from the corner of the board on a thin gold-yellow cord and has a red and yellow striped head. Wear the graduation cap at a celebration after your final exams, at your graduation ceremony or on the day your diploma is presented.

How does a graduation cap differ from a regular beret?

A graduation cap is recognisable by the flat, square board on top of the crown, whereas a beret is round and soft. The board originated from the academic dress of old universities and has become a worldwide symbol of success. On the Postgraduate cap, the gold-coloured band at the base makes it stand out from an all-black version: choose it if you want the edge of your cap to match your gold garlands and balloons. In the American tradition, you move the tassel from one side to the other after receiving your diploma.

Accessories to match your graduation cap

Because the cap is black and gold, gold earrings, a gold watch or a thin gold necklace will complement the band perfectly. Glasses with a narrow frame will instantly give you the look of a newly minted academic. If you like face paint, use black and gold face paint to draw a small graduation cap on your cheek. Wear dark clothing underneath to make the yellow tassel stand out even more.

Order the Postgraduate cap and put it on as soon as your results are in or your diploma is presented.
