What do Christ’s garments symbolize in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's garments symbolize His righteousness and priestly role in representing His people before God.

In Revelation 1:13, the depiction of Christ clothed with a garment down to the foot symbolizes His righteousness and the perfect standing He has before God on behalf of His people. This imagery draws from the Old Testament priestly garments, which signified holiness and the ability to intercede on behalf of others. Christ wears this robe not for Himself, but to represent our acceptance before God, covering our shame with His righteousness and enabling our communion with the Father.
