now for faires... i want to explore their fashion trends. for the sky fairies, they have loose fitting, simple of complex designed clothes, with little physical complexity (no separation of shirts or skirts from tops to bottoms, there aren't cuts of cloth perse, but usually simply a long drapey cloth to manipulate) as they focus on battle scars and their beauty, so their clothes reflect that
for higher courts its a little more complex. they usually conceal their scars if or if they have no scars at all. usually kings of the emperor who have their harem cover up on public but are undressed in private. as certain professions or titles provide different customs. like warriors tend to wear looser fittings casually, and tight but small fittings for battle, to prevent clothes from hanging on to things.
in a harem, all of them wear loose fittings in the rooms, but cover up completely in public, their scars or skin only shown to their harem or the emperor themself. like a sense of privilege.
in other occupations or titles, they hide it all or wear nearly nothing. diplomacy to hard labor. on ceremonial occasions cloth with detailed patterns are used but in a sparing manner for the common folk, so the cloth isn't too concealing. while in higher courts, they can spend lavishly and can use larger pieces, that can even encapsulate history through the imagery.
for other fary cultures, clothes are highly important and can delineate standing much more pronounced. there are scars that identify class and group, and even occupation if done through a lineage. their clothes are more important to show off than their bodies, even though they are as rainbow as the other fairies. its because they do not go out of their way to earn scars. they earn clothes.
overall the complexities abound, and scars are universally important to fairies, whether by its beauty in the natural way it happened, or its beauty in its identity or symmetry. whether showing them is normalized "all should know my achievements and identity" or hidden only to be seen by private individuals as the privilege of "earning the right to see my history" type of vibe.
clothes from simple but drapy, to patterned and cuts of cloths to fit more snugly.
also their are humans and my version of some cloth choices they were in this world.
