Official attire was reserved only for government officials; commoners would commit a crime by wearing it, similar in nature to civilians donning police uniforms today.
Once discovered, they would be arrested and punished by the authorities.
Official attire typically came in two forms, one was the regular service attire, and the other was the ceremonial attire.
The regular service attire was also known as public attire or plain attire, worn for office or other ordinary occasions.
The ceremonial attire was reserved for festive days, such as sacrifices, ceremonies, weddings, birthdays, welcoming edicts from the Immortal Sect, and other such occasions.
The attire that this official wore was a black, fold-collared official robe, a style ranked below the round-collared official robe.
It bore resemblance to a long robe.
