On transfemme Draco's style
Draco's style is heavily inspired by Narcissa's. As a child, she always admired her mother's ornate and flowing robes. The way they pooled around her feet but the hems never got dirty. Silks in the summer and velvet in the winter. Embroidery and beads and crystals. But for all the filigree, Narcissa never charmed her embroidered designs to move; she is much too classy for something so gauche.
Draco's style evolves in much the same way. While the styles aren't necessarily old-fashioned—the wizarding world moves much too slow for that—they are a bit modest for someone Draco's age, what with her bell sleeves that touch the ground and high collars that barely allow a peek at the hollow of her throat.
Draco had always kept covered up, but now the habit garners her the reputation of being an ice queen. Anyone who truly knows her knows she is anything but—even approaching thirty she's still quick to anger and known for her legendary strops. But to the general public, her clothes just confirm her new tight-lipped and closed-off attitude.
Pansy begs Draco to branch out a little. She worked so hard on her body, she should show it off a bit, after all. Every birthday she gifts Draco a skimpy new robe that just ends up at the back of her closet. Blaise is with Pansy, though for more salacious reasons.
Narcissa notices the similarities between her's and Draco's wardrobes. She doesn't say anything at all. Lucius does what he always did and purchases anything Draco expresses a passing interest in.
Harry wonders if Draco would still climb trees in her new state of dress. That's the main thought he has when he starts seeing her around again after he gets past the initial stage of confusion. Then he imagines her on a broom, arm stretched in pursuit of a snitch, long curly hair and silk robes flapping wildly behind her. That image does nothing to help how he turns into a stuttering mess every time he tries to talk to her. He only ever regains his footing now when Draco does something to piss him off, because she's still Draco and she's still very very good at pissing Harry off.

"You try to be cool -- you look like a fool to me..."

As Chiara finished reading the letter, a loud thud resonated from the table. Both [Chiara and Carewyn] looked to see Diego's head faced down on the table, his teacup knocked over on the side. Muttering could be heard, yet he dared not to make any movements.
"Uh, Sire…?" Chiara called, Borf walking over to the King before nudging his foot. "Are you okay?"
More mumbling from the King.
"That's twice…twice I messed up my impression to her…stupid Diego, how could you be so stupid?!"

LMAO, I'm sorry -- while reading Ari's recent drabble about Diego trying and failing to court Veruca, I just was consumed with this overwhelming urge to draw this part during my breaks at work today. 😂 Poor boy really cannot win, can he? It's just like him trying and failing to befriend Carewyn when they first met, except worse.
I'm sorry, but the idea of Drama King Diego embracing his inner Tamaki Suou and just having the most over-the-top, anime-esque reactions to things just cracks me the hell up. 🤣 Don't worry, Diego -- the Host Club king eventually "gets the girl" in the end too! Hang in there!!
Much love, Ari!! And to everyone else, hope you have a lovely evening! xoxo

You know, when I first started this show, my best friend expected me to be into Rose.
After season 1 I knew I had the biggest crush on Dorothy.
Now that I’m in the middle of season 5, the truth has been revealed to me: I’m down bad for Rose, Blanche and Dorothy.
