George and Ruby's outfits going into the 1890s represent the odd dichotomy of their new lives. On one hand, they live a relatively "simple" life on Ruby's father's farm, and are compelled to dress practically, in simple, sturdy clothes, in order to support a lifestyle of hard labor. On the other hand, they have Moses's consistent financial support - less so cash, more often in the form of lavish gifts, especially of expensive clothing. They often have multiple outfits for the same occasion, one more expensive, and one more practical.

George in particular has taken to Moses's habit of giving gifts. George finds the promise of wealth infinitely appealing, and although he hasn't yet obtained said wealth, Moses's expensive presents often make him feel as if he has. Because of this influence from his father-in-law, George's outfits have also trended more towards Moses's all-black color scheme, becoming darker in color and adding in more blues and jewel tones, to replace George's teenage greens and yellows. He dresses in Moses's gift-clothing whenever possible, only returning to more practical garments while working on the farm.

Ruby, on the other hand, seems discomforted by the expensive clothes her father throws at her. Her hunger for independence and identity tends to push her away from making use of his gifts, no matter how lovely. She does dress up when he asks her to, or when the situation arises, but otherwise Ruby favors sturdy, comfortable, practical clothing. Some of her outfits do retain her teenage greens and yellows, especially those given to her by Moses, but the majority of her clothes are in a soft, neutral color palette, made up of mostly creams and browns. Still, Ruby does have a taste for drama, and what she lacks in fashionable clothing, she makes up for in her variable, expressive hats, often covered in flowers or feathers.

George Brink's wardrobe is characterized by his fixation on "competence." A distant home life led him to become very self-reliant when he was still very young, and despite only being in his early teens, George functions as a relatively independent adult, working various menial labor jobs, and saving his paychecks in hopes of someday moving on to something greater. His wardrobe exemplifies this: he dresses like a grown man whenever possible, hoping that his height and his sharp features will convince adults that he's one of them - until he speaks, at least.

George is famous for his yellows and greens, and wears them whenever possible, sometimes sacrificing the fashionable-ness of an outfit in favor of wearing his signature colors. Although money is decidedly tight, even moreso now that he's left home, George puts a fair amount of it into dressing respectably. First impressions, he knows, are crucial to success.
