A Lasting Impression in Red Academic Regalia at Graduation

At GraduationSource, we're proud to offer red academic regalia that looks strong and vibrant. Red is the designated color for graduates in Theology and Divinity. It's also an official color for the Spanish National Honor Society. The color red often symbolizes courage, leadership, and confidence.

Academic regalia dates back to the Middle Ages, conveying honor and prestige to graduates for centuries. Established in 1893, the American Academic Costume Code created the intercollegiate color code for various subjects and departments. Red is specific to the theology field. If your entire department elects to wear red at commencement, students can accessorize by decorating their caps. They can also customize their outfit by donning a tassel.

Depending on your school's preference, we offer red graduation caps and gowns in a shiny or matte finish. Matte gowns look striking in flash photos, while shiny gowns drape nicely and tend to be more comfortable. Most schools have their own color traditions for academic regalia, and red is a bold and daring shade. With a red graduation cap and gown, students have the option to experiment with their hair, footwear, and accessories. Also, pair a traditional black gown with red colored tassels that denote your field of study, like canon law.

Designed with 100% polyester, our red graduation gown is available in 15 different sizes. Red bachelor's gowns are crafted with a braided rope and fabric-covered button down the upper back. They also have decorative piping around the neckline. Meanwhile, master's gowns have distinctive long sleeves. Doctoral gowns are designed with black velvet chevrons that run down the arms and center panel. We also offer large-quantity discounts on red gowns for your entire academic department. We think the matte red gowns look powerful and exciting, lending sharp color to the commencement ceremony.

Likewise, honors recipients can wear red graduation cords to indicate cum laude, summa cum laude, or magna cum laude status. Crafted from high-quality fabric, our cords and tassels come in a range of colors that accentuate our graduation gowns. We also offer silk honors stoles and sashes in red or maroon. These signify that your graduate has garnered a special academic achievement. We also offer personalized medals with Old English engravings. These signify a variety of honors, whether one is a kindergarten graduate or valedictorian.

Excited to wear red regalia on graduation day? At GraduationSource, we love academic traditions that bring graduates together around the world, like donning red at commencement. Visit our blog for more graduation planning tips.
