Clerical clothing typically refers to the traditional garments worn by members of the clergy, such as priests and bishops. The most common clerical clothing is the alb, which is a long, white robe with long sleeves that reaches the floor. It is usually worn with a stole, which is a long, narrow band of fabric draped around the neck and shoulders. The alb is often accompanied by a cincture, which is a rope-like belt that is tied around the waist.
