#[ wardrobe ] events

[pinbones]

I've seen a few posts about women and pants now and many of them are very good, and not to nitpick those posts or downplay religious sexism or anything, but I have to emphasise:

Somebody who DOESN'T live in a controlling religious country/cult/family is also affected by sexism. We all know that, right? Secular parts of the first world also have opinions about how women dress, including when it comes to trousers, especially in childhood and in institutions like schools and the workplace

Me and many people my age (20s) remember being forced into skirts, punished and shamed by parents & teachers & peers & possibly then bosses about what we wear not being feminine enough, and it wasn't by deeply religious sects. Many updates to dress codes are very new and sexist views are still in place in many institutions. Normalised societal misogyny wants women (and people they want to treat as women) to dress femininely, down to what KIND of pants they're allowed to wear (compare a pink top and jeggings to mens jeans and tell me these two women are treated the same. Hating women in pantsuits is still a sexist office joke today, and even those outfits are feminine compared to male suits, which raise eyebrows when worn by women). The women I know who wear trousers regularly are literally otherwise feminine, and all wear dresses to events.

I know trousers have become much more normalised over the past few decades in secular society (yay!! the result of many many years of effort and lawbreaking) but let's not be absolute when we talk about the pants concept lol. Especially within a larger conversation about female/transmasc/intersex/transfem masculinity and social perceptions, especially in an age of rising fascism

I swear to god I just saw an insta post of a costumer being like "normalize wearing your costumes multiple times! I found another event to wear this one to" girl did you just spend hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours to make a perfectly executed 1880s bustled walking ensemble planning to ONLY WEAR IT ONCE???????

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have selected the [CENTAUR] as your attire. Please see the following list of properties with this choice.

You have the stamina and speed of a stallion to sprint across mountains and valleys with ease. Learning how to do so without tripping over your own four feet is going to take some time.

Your diet consists of only vegetables and grains now. You have a strong craving for salts.

You may be in total control of your human half, but your equestrian half still retains some wild inhibitions. You will often want to kick things behind you, and when startled, you will want to run for the hills, taking time to calm your nerves and temper.

Horse flies are drawn to you.

Butch isn’t able to utter more than a confused noise before he’s engulfed in a cloud of smoke with a ‘POOF!’ And by the time it dissipates, something is very very different.

……

Looking down at himself, he has to do a double—no, a triple take because surely those shaky long legs aren’t his. Upon further inspection, he would find that his pants are now in shreds in the grass, and he had shedded his boots which are thankfully unharmed and laying haphazardly a ways away from him. Experimentally, Butch attempts to take step forward, but he finds out the hard way that these legs are more than stubborn and topples over like an infant trying to walk for the first time. His back legs tangle with one another as he struggles to get back up, the front two curling beneath his chest. They weren’t cooperating at all!

“This—-ain’t what I had in mind when y’mentioned a costume…” He grumbles, too mortified to ponder any upsides to this new situation. His now floofy tail whips behind him anxiously.

From a design standpoint it makes perfect sense that half of the purple clothing in Kyoko's outfit is slightly darker and actively looks nice, but I reject this reality finding boots, a jacket, gloves, and socks in nearly the same purple is like shooting a fish in a barrel idk How she got that fucking lucky. In my world every single purple article of clothing she owns is a slightly different shade that matches questionably and it happens to drive one fashionably-conscious gambler absolutely insane

Aaron + 14

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

I think Aaron loves the IDEA of dressing smart and looking very professional/put together, but I don’t think he enjoys the reality of it. My Aaron has ADHD so there’s a lot of sensory aspects to wearing more professional clothes that don’t always sit with him, and he’s got a gut instinct that he always wants to have easy movement (it’s part of his CPTSD) so the restrictiveness of them doesn’t always sit right with him either. Plus he just hasn’t been able to afford very nice clothes in his life. I think he likes the excuse to get dressed up for work events/friends’ weddings in the future when he can afford nice tailored suits (trying to find trousers off the rack that fit his legs! Impossible 😭), but he’ll also be the one halfway through dinner with the jacket off, tie loosened, and sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

Mostly I think you’ll get him in comfy clothes, and since he’s active that’ll be a lot of sweatpants (jeans are fine casual wear but when you’ve got DOMS in your legs that make getting off the toilet a challenge, sometimes the pressure of jeans against skin is NOT serving you) and hoodies (he runs cold). He would also LIKE to be kind of dark academia aesthetic but a lot of the knitted jumpers have itchy material he doesn’t like and once you get into too many layers it feels restrictive again, so there’s a disconnect from how he’d LIKE to dress & how he does. Especially since he’s exhausted between classes and assignments and practice and all the general shit drama that goes on with the Foxes ALL ! THE ! TIME ! To be wasting extra brain energy on putting outfits together.

He’ll put in more effort for dates and has a few nice outfits in the style he likes but doesn’t usually wear for if he and Katelyn are going somewhere a bit fancy. I think she probably gets him little pieces as gifts now and then. Sweaters with nice soft fleece insides, button up shirts with fun patterns on them Aaron would never buy for himself but will wear because they’re from her.

He grew up with little choice, so younger Aaron was really in whatever he could get his hands on. Often secondhand. Sometimes threadbare. Never in style. Clothes he’d wear until they started to fall apart. Very rough when he was really young and hadn’t been taught how to maintain his hygiene. Sort of learned that through negative reinforcement from his peers and became really meticulous about it. Hand washed in cold water over the bathtub a lot of the time because they’d have no power or the machine would be broke or he’d have no change for the laundromat.

He’s around for the rise of emo but I think he’s anti-skinny jeans LMAO. Loves a good band shirt/graphic tee, especially if it’s got a subtle logo. Like a nod towards his interests without loudly broadcasting them (people can’t mock you if they don’t know what it is, another fun CPTSD behaviour!). Owns at least a couple of all black outfits for Eden’s. I think dark jeans, cargo pants, loose plain black tee, black button up (long and short sleeve, these are from his bartending days actually). I think outside of that he likes earthy colours. Greens/browns/maroons/dark reds/deep purples.

Like he’s not a huge fan of orange or particularly overflowing with team pep but he will wear his varsity jacket a lot because it’s comfy & easy & Katelyn likes to “steal” it to wear & also sometimes people are nicer to him if they see him as an athlete. Which, ugh, whatever, but also, ugh, the desperate desire for some small positive social interactions that he will never admit to. Think he also has a denim jacket in his regular rotation and a couple of hoodies he likes.

Since Aaron doesn’t like to stick out much and purposefully tries to blend into the background I don’t think he’d have a super distinct “style” and he really just goes with what’s comfiest most days!

idk when part 2 is gonna drop, part 1 didn't drop till somewhere around 2am for me where i'm at, but no matter what the case is and what exact time part 2 comes out i am letting you all know here and now that i will be jumping on it immediately. as it is hard for me to get a moments peace throughout the day, there's always someone stomping around or a dog barking which in turn makes watching anything i really like very frustrating as i have to keep pausing, and it took me so ridiculously long just to get through part 1, so for those reasons i will be consuming part 2 as soon as we get.

just letting you all know as a little fyi, i will be tagging "bridgerton spoilers" as necessary, along with the tag "carly watches bridgerton" for those who wish to blacklist, since i am of course going to be cataloging this in my little digital diary here.

happy polin season everybody!!! 🥰🥰
