An Imperial Royal Guard must have the following:

Helmet
Red / crimson Royal Guard helmet with a red or dark tinted visor.

 

Cloak
The cloak is made up of two parts, an outer and an inner cloak. The outer cloak should be red / crimson cloth with 360 degree coverage (covers the front and back), with one or two slits for the arms. If only one arm slit is desired, it must be for the wearer's right arm. It is recommended that the bottom hem of the outer cloak clear the ground by no more than three inches.

The inner cloak should be a wine-red, mauve, or burgundy inner tunic-style robe the same length as the outer cloak, with long sleeves.

Heavy fabrics such as velvet or gabardine are recommended for both parts of the cloak.

 

 
Gloves
Again there are two options:
Wine-red, mauve, or burgundy cloth or suede gloves with no extraneous straps/buckles (AOTC / ROTJ).
or
Red / crimson leather or synthetic (non glossy) gauntlet style gloves with no extraneous straps/buckles, or ornamental stitching; worn OVER the inner robe sleeves (ROTS). 

Boots
There are two types of boots which are accepted for Royal Guard costumes:
Black leather or synthetic (non glossy) boots with no texture. The heel should be relatively conservative and there should be no extraneous straps/buckles, or ornamental stitching. They should reach above the wearer's ankle or higher.
or
Wine-red or burgundy suede boots, with a relatively conservative heel, no extraneous straps/buckles, or ornamental stitching; that reach above the wearer's ankle or higher.
