pink bows and the apocalypse

Okay, so I had basics before, but now that I'm shifting further from masc/fem associations with sky/sea/land, I want fashion to be more gender-neutral from a real world perspective, but still distinct in-world.

The basics remain the same.

Everyone wears undergarments of a snug undershirt (knit or woven) and woolen leggings/hose. When it is cold, people will wear a sweater over this as well.

The outer garments everyone wears are a sweater of varying thickness and a pair of loose trousers that can be buckled or drawn to gather at the cuff when it is windy/cold.

Sky silhouettes, I've decided, emphasize movement and so the preference is for draped garments and loose garments. Something like an arisaid is popular. If the airsaid is covering enough, they may forgo the trousers and/or sweater of the base outfit. They also prefer cloaks over coats, but may forgo both.

Land silhouettes, in contrast, emphasize structure and so the emphasis is on fitted jackets (rather than cardigans or sweaters) and felted hats. They prefer coats over cloaks.

Sea silhouettes emphasize volume and so their sweaters tend to be looser and thicker and their trousers look more like tobi pants or knickerbockers. They'll wear either coats or cloaks. Or maybe something like a cloak with sleeves (a mantle?).

So all three wear the same basics, but each has something extra. 

The Lamplighters are very active and don't tend to be super wealthy, so their outfits cleave more to the basics, but you'll see the variation in coat vs cloak and Sea-called with a greater bell to their trousers or comfier looking sweaters. 

...I'm going to have to go through and adjust all clothing descriptions now. But, this has been bugging me for a while. I've been avoiding clothing descriptions for the most part because I didn't have good answers.

I think children tend to wear cloaks, too, because those can last through size changes better.
