You don't wear multiple hoods. If you have your doctorate, believe me--one velvet-lined, knee-length hood is enough and you would die in two even if it's forty degrees inside.
What you're supposed to do when you get advanced degrees: you wear the hood and lining colors of the school of your last degree. My doctoral hood has an edge of royal blue velvet that matches my tassel and the 3 velvet stripes on my sleeves because royal blue is the color of a Ph.D. (An Ed.D. has aqua, an M.D. has green.)Then the satin hood lining is maroon and white for Mississippi State. If you've been in the academic world for awhile, you can often identify the degrees and schools of many faculty members at a graduation.
What I wonder is which hood lining colors are worn by all those people who've been getting online degrees from non-brick and mortar schools.
