Garments put on specifically to lead or take part in formal worship, layered over clerical or ordinary dress and removed once the liturgy ends. Colour, cut and the number of pieces worn typically signal rank, season or the particular rite being performed, and the rules governing them are usually set by the tradition's own liturgical authority rather than left to individual choice.
