court robes

Judge's formal attire

Court robes are the formal ceremonial garments worn by judges, barristers, and other legal officials during court proceedings.

These typically include long black gowns, sometimes accompanied by wigs in British and Commonwealth traditions.

The robes signify the authority and solemnity of the court: The judge entered in full court robes.

By extension, court robes may refer to ceremonial dress worn at royal courts.
