Men's daytime court dress consists of a plain white Kamision with its characteristic Azagartian sleeves, over which a white chlamys embroidered with a purple tablia, is worn as a overcoat. Male attendees of the court wear kampagia (ceremonial knee-length boots) or Papoutzia (shoes) on their feet. With the rise of trousers, court dress for males adopted the use of touvia (breeches) and kampotouva (padded leggings), with podortia (socks).

During more formal occasions held during daytime hours the purple tablia is switched for a gold tablia. During periods of mourning a black chlamys embroidered with either a purple or gold tablia is donned by all male members of the imperial court
