Robe
Presidential resignation

The allegedly "seldom"-worn ceremonial robes of the Time Lords, as worn on the occasion of the resignation of their President. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)

Ben Daheer offered "the finest robes in Jaffa." (TV: The Crusade)

When in attendance at the Panopticon, Time Lords wore ceremonial robes in the colours of their Chapter. Around the time of Goth's assassination of the President, Runcible claimed that the robes were "seldom robes", (TV: The Deadly Assassin) although it seemed in most accounts that most Time Lords ordinarily wore robes when on Gallifrey, (TV: The Invasion of Time, The Day of the Doctor, etc.) although renegade Time Lords who'd leFt the planet, and Gallifreyan agents carrying out missions in the outside universe, could don other outfits when necessary. (TV: Terror of the Autons, Genesis of the Daleks, etc.) The Monk still typically wore robes as part of his monk disguise. (TV: The Time Meddler)

The Doctor was a Prydonian and wore ceremonial robes in his fourth, (TV: The Deadly Assassin, The Invasion of Time), fifth, (AUDIO: Time in Office), and tenth incarnations. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead; COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times) During his war incarnation's rescue mission to Rovidia, he adopted a robed appearance to blend in with the Rovidians, justifying the simplicity of the disguise due to the Rovidians being "simple people". (AUDIO: The Eternity Cage)

The Guardians of the Edge shown as aspects of the Doctor's psyche (the first, fifth, sixth, and seventh) wore black and crimson robes. The eighth one wore no robes, (TV: The Power of the Doctor) wearing the outfit he wore when he fell on Karn. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

Zoe Heriot wore a dark teal robe as symbolism of her role as a president when reuniting with Jamie McCrimmon on the Memory TARDIS. (TV: The Mind Robber)

The mysterious man in black with whom Fred made a deal to restore his homeworld wore black robes with a pointed collar. (PROSE: Cyber-Hunt)
