<p>I didn’t mention this earlier, but I think it’s actually relevant. At our school, boys wear royal blue caps and gowns, and girls wear white caps and gowns. Since the material isn’t that thick–you have to wear white underneath. Loud patterns or colors would show right through. You could probably get away with ivory if you wanted to. Since I’m pale, ivory looks funky on me. It’s a little too close to my skin tone.</p>
