Cardinals are distinguished by their red hats and sashes, while bishops wear purple.

Over the saccos, the bishop wears a wide shoulder covering called the omophorion.

When celebrating Mass, a bishop, like a priest, wears the chasuble.

The last bishop of Autun to wear the pallium, he was prominent in ecumenical relations.

For example, their bishops wear mitres almost identical to those of Western bishops.

For liturgical functions other than the Mass the bishop typically wears the cope.

For example, bishops can wear mitres and some lawyers wear wigs.

A bishop also wears vestments additional to those of a priest:

Under new regulations, neither bishops nor canons wear fur trimmed cappas.

A bishop or priest may wear a tippet with the arms of the seminary from which he received his degree.
