Abstract
This article provides a brief overview of the history of the PhD in Aotearoa and explores its first academic dress, the disbanding of the federal university, and the evolution of independent universities. It then analyses current PhD regalia across the country and concludes with a discussion on the future of academic dress. As the origins of universities and the development of academic dress in Aotearoa—particularly at the doctoral level—have been previously explored in this journal, only a summary is provided here.
