Thursday DE: For example today I was wearing...

What's your pup's fashion sense? How are they usually dressed--for work, for fun, for hanging out in Milliways?

On. Point.

Like, even when he looks scruffy in Milliways, the jeans and shirts and T-shirts are designer, and probably tailored to look messy, but not actually be. When he's working, it's tailored suits all the way, baby. And not just a suit, it's got to have all the accessories - tie pin, pocket square, shiny handmade Italian shoes, cufflinks.

He's perfectly capable of dressing down for a part, and his clothes are always part of whatever he's portraying at any given time. So if he has to look poor and shiftless, his gear will be cheap and off the peg. But when he's being a version of himself, it'll always be expensive and tasteful. One of the reasons he's glad he's mostly dropped the 'Jim from IT' persona around this place is now he doesn't have to wear jeans so much. Tailored trousers ftw! \o/

...I assume he has a network of dozens of tailors worldwide, each of which knows him not only under a different name but also as a different budget and set of tastes?

[just_cant_lose]

Quite right! He might prefer Westwood, but there's sooooo many others out there, and why limit himself? And using his own name would just be stupid - imagine getting tracked by something so mundane. Embarrassing.

It's so -labor intensive- being James Moriarty.

[just_cant_lose]

Right? Right? Completely dreadful how hard he has to work. Woe is him.

He ought to talk mens' fashion with Pam. They might actually find some common ground there.

[just_cant_lose]

Jim is always here for conversations about men's fashion.

Even with Pam. That would be actual hilarity. :D

Amelia uses fashion as a weapon. She has a keen sense of it and how it fits into a given situation and/or culture. She will use it to blend in or stand out as is needed. Best example I can think of from the books is when we first meet her and she's returned to her clan at a time when the clan's matriarch has called all the dragons home. Everyone is wearing the height of fashion in the room, like cutting edge and wickedly on point, because they are dragons. She walks in without a care in a dress that is 100 years out of date and slays. (I don't know why all the dragons in this canon spend all their time in a human shape, but they do.)

Later she is seen wearing casual clothes but I think she did so to fit the situation which was to seem nonthreatening to the protagonist and his friend.

Eliot is not only on point and fabulous, but cutting edge as well. He does tend to dress his mood or mental state; or so the costume department would have us believe. He's dressed in a variety of colors and textures. Mixing bright colors and neutral tones at the start of the season but then is only shown in dark colors and near monotones when canon happens.

Carol = I CAN CHANGE MY OUTFIT WITH MY MIND! If Carol's working she's in uniform. If she's out of uniform, she's usually dressed casually: think jeans, yoga pants, the trademark Avengers Stealth Baseball Cap. That kind of stuff.

Stiles = jeans, a t-shirt with a dumb slogan, and a plaid shirt

May = mismatched pieces bought secondhand and altered by hand/by magic. Bright colors. Sparkly bits. And inventively style, multi-colored hair.

Mary = elegant, fashionable, corseted. These days she's mostly wearing last year's clothes, but luckily she has the means to afford quality, so her outfits are no worse for the wear.

aaaaaaand....

Tracksuit Draculas = uh, they wear Adidas tracksuits, bro

Abe no Seimei has a very eccentric fashion sense, but you'd expect that from someone who's lived for several centuries. He tends towards Edo-period dress a lot, even if there's not a formal occasion going on. When he wears contemporary clothing it tends to be dark suits with solid-color shirts and (usually) no tie. His suits look very simple at first glance, but a discerning person will realize that they are high-quality bespoke outfits.

YT is most comfortable in her Kourier coverall. Otherwise she is a T-shirt-and-jeans kind of person. She can dress sharp when she is sufficiently motivated, but she rarely is.

A wild Lee appears!

Eriond - basic tunic, looks pretty peasant-y, probably a light blue. Basic trousers. Honestly, nothing special.

Lois - for work, business casual. She likes button down shirts and looks snazzy in a waistcoat, she'll do both skirts and pants, she doesn't do full suits unless she has to but she knows how to rock it. She also tends towards reds and blues with the occasional pink or orange as far as colors go. When off the job, jeans and tank tops are pretty common, and she might have a plaid shirt stolen from Clark's closet thrown over it. (And then sometimes she's dressed in something totally not her style because she is under cover and has a costume, it's Lois, things happen).

Evelyn - Basic mage robes, maybe linen or something. She could probably have far, far fancier, silk or something, if she were on good terms with her family (or as good as a mage can be) or played politics. But she does not play politics (yet) and while she's not exactly on bad terms with her family she really doesn't have much to do with them at all these days. She likes green, I think, and dark colors in general.

R2-D2 - covered in far more dirt and dust than he'd like, can someone please give him a proper oil bath?

Anakin - The interesection of Emo and Jedi (special flavor: Clone Wars, with the light armor bits or whatever those are)

Tavi - "For work" dress has, for the most part, been Roman-style armor. He is in this at Milliways a lot. When he isn't, it's usually military uniform, which is approximately Roman-ish tunic with trousers, tunic's in red and blue and trousers... probably basic whatever. Brown or something. Even when he hasn't been in uniform lately, it's more or less the same, just less overtly military. He's frankly going to be wearing more or less that for most of his life. Even if it isn't a uniform, he's usually going to be in red and blue--House colors--although he's probably going to get nicer fabrics now. He'll never wear silk nearly as often as his father or grandfather would have, though. (Also he has basically no personal fashion sense. Luckily he is not the one who makes these decisions.)
