flowing robes

Draping ceremonial attire

Flowing robes are long, loose garments that hang in graceful folds and move freely with the wearer—the kind worn by wizards, judges, monks, or ancient philosophers.

The phrase evokes dignity, ceremony, or otherworldliness: The priest approached the altar in flowing robes.

In fantasy contexts, flowing robes are standard attire for sorcerers and sages.
