red robes
Cardinal's formal attire
Red robes are ceremonial garments worn by judges, cardinals, and academics, signifying authority or office.
The color traditionally marks high rank—British High Court judges wear scarlet, as do Catholic cardinals.
In casual speech, the red robes may refer metonymically to the wearers themselves: The red robes filed into the courtroom.
