Undergraduates
[edit]All undergraduate gowns resemble knee-length versions of the BA gown, and the basic gown is black, reaching down to just below the knees with an open pointed sleeve and the forearm seam left open. Most colleges' gowns include minor variations on this pattern, such as sleeve decorations. The most distinct differences are the blue colour of the undergraduate gowns of Trinity and Caius and the blue facings of Selwyn. The full details are as follows:
Churchill, King's, Peterhouse, Queen's and Robison Colleges all use the basic undergraduate gown without variation. [1] The other college gowns have specific variations as follows:
| College | Gown variation |
|---|---|
| Trinity College | The gown in dark blue with black cloth facings, and black edging two inches wide inside the wrist of the sleeves.[2] |
| St Johns' College | The gown is black with no forearm slit, instead over the forearm seam there are four black velvet bars.[3] |
| Clare College | The gown is black with no forearm slit, instead over the forearm seam there are three black velvet chevrons.[4] |
| Pembroke College | The gown is black without the forearm slit, with the sleeve gathered up above the elbow and held by a cord and button.[5] |
