What is a "Tudor bonnet"?
A Tudor bonnet is a traditional academic cap characterized by a soft, rounded crown and a tassel, worn by graduates and faculty members during academic ceremonies, such as graduations. It is typically made from black fabric and is part of the formal academic regalia. The Tudor bonnet is distinct from other academic caps, such as the mortarboard, due to its softer, more rounded shape. It is often worn with other regalia, such as gowns and hoods, and represents scholarly achievement, with variations in style and decoration reflecting the wearer’s academic status or field of study.
