Definition:

A robe is an outer garment with long sleeves that can be worn by a man or a woman. It is similar to a coat.

  • Robes are open in the front and are tied shut with a sash or belt.
  • They can be long or short.
  • Purple robes were worn by kings as a sign of royalty, wealth, and prestige.
  • The edges of a robe are called its "wings." When one person covers another person with his "wings," he covers him with that part of his robe.
