#There's other things too obvs- I think Hebitians often wore large belts which is based on the fact that Garak does but no other Cardassians

Another difference in Hebitian vs Cardassian clothes that I didn't mention while answering the ask @nebulouscoffee sent me is their shoes!

We don't see much of the shoes on Trek characters really, but we do see Dukat and Garak’s a few times. Dukat infamously has "Polly Pocket boots", and Garak's are more shapely, but still look to be simple boots (for detail shots, look at the final scene in Improbable Cause and one of Garak’s infirmary scenes with the gold suit- I don't remember which but you see his shoes and the stirrups on the ends of his pants). In all three cases, their shoes color coordinate to their pants- if you think Cardassians like height in men, this makes sense, color matching your shoes and pants is a visual illusion that lengthens the leg and makes you look taller.

Overall canonically, Cardassian shoes seem to be very practical. An arguable exception would be the shoes I recall Garak making for Kira while she was pregnant, which are ankle boots but had a big block heel (which, forgive me if I'm wrong, sounds terrible), but those are based on her normal uniform shoes, which are a Bajoran design, so how much Cardassian influence in those depends on how much you think Cardassian aesthetics have influenced Bajoran uniforms.

(The Doylist explanation of course, is that the costume budget is limited and they just picked simple shoes for the most part)

For my world building, which is based in nothing but my thoughts (we know Hebitians have distinctive clothing because it's mentioned once, but it's never described), I think Hebitians actually favored fairly elaborate shoe designs. Leather or straw slippers (often covered in cloth), painted, gilded, beaded, with cutwork, dye, embroidery, etc. I also think there are a lot more Pre-Union Hebitian shoes floating around in museums and private collections than clothes, as the way a lot of clothes were constructed especially lent itself to being cut and remade or used again in quilts or rags.
