I have that within which passeth show;
These, but the trappings and the suits of woe. [ William Shakespeare, Hamlet ]

The trappings of a monarchy would set up an ordinary commonwealth. [ Samuel Johnson ]

The lazy ox wishes for horse-trappings, and the steed wishes to plough. [ Horace ]

Let Harlequin be taken with a fit of the colic, and his trappings will have to serve that mood too. [ Thoreau ]

Men very rarely put off the trappings of pride till they who are about them put on their winding-sheet. [ Clarendon ]

Grace pays its respects to true intrinsic worth, not to the mere signs and trappings of it, which often only show where it ought to be, not where it really is. [ Thomas à Kempis ]

Paraphernalia, Trappings or Regalia? We often hear paraphernalia used in the sense of trappings or regalia; as, The Grand Marshal was conspicuous in his gorgeous paraphernalia The word is derived from the Greek, and is strictly a law term, meaning whatever the wife brings with her at marriage, in addition to her dower, such as her dresses and her jewels. Hence the evident absurdity of the use of paraphernalia in the sentence cited. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
