brown robes
Friar's traditional dress
Brown robes are simple, earth-toned garments associated with certain religious orders, especially Franciscan friars who adopted the color as a symbol of humility and poverty.
The phrase sometimes appears in fantasy fiction to describe monks, wizards, or mysterious figures: The brown robes shuffled through the monastery gates at dawn.
