Sith armor
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Although similar to the armor worn by the Jedi Knights of the Galactic Republic, Sith armor was in fact much more personalized to the wearer than its Jedi counterparts; indeed, for many Sith, their armor was an integral part of their identity.
The term "armor" can be somewhat misleading, since it is most often used to refer to any ceremonial or battle dress. For users of the Dark Side, though, this armor usually involves some measure of physical protection, such as traditional armor plates, cortosis weave materials, or even self-contained life support systems.
Many Sith are most easily recognized by their distinctive armor, and often use this to further intimidate or impress their foes and allies alike.
