  • In English: In the House of Lords, Lord Spiritual bishops commonly choose to don a distinctive day dress, comprising a rochet and chimere. The chimere, comparable to an academic gown but without sleeves and open at the front, is complemented by the rochet—a white vestment worn underneath. The wristbands of the bishop's rochet are traditionally coordinated to match the colour of the chimere. premierchristian.news/en/news/article/… Commented 25 mins ago

They are wearing kind of chasubles but chasubles are sleeveless. The actual name is aubes. On top of them are étoles.
