velvet robes
Soft ceremonial garments
Velvet robes are garments made from velvet—a soft, dense fabric with a distinctive sheen.
The phrase evokes luxury, ceremony, and high status: judges wear velvet robes in formal settings, royalty dons them for coronations, and academics wear them at graduations.
The king appeared in velvet robes trimmed with ermine.
