#you can't see the little bracelets and matching nail polishes he wears sometimes

With the return of @bodycountgame, I've been in Dev mood, so I decided to draw a little wardrobe for him. :)

My favorite is hands down his day outfit.

visuals for the marauders

putting this here so I have a reference later when I'm actually writing and posting the fanfic (rn I just have a good chunk plotted out and some scenes in my brain). Also including their pronouns so it makes a little more sense. For their clothing, it's just their choices when they don't have to wear the school uniform (I hate the uniform deeply imo no one looks as hot in robes). I am taking artistic license with their designs bc I can make them look better than their canon designs do easily. If I said something contradicting these earlier, ignore it, I've got shit memory and adhd.

Sirius (he/they/she): long hair, one of those really queer nonbinary bun type things? She wears half goth half casual punk clothing stuff (like fishnet shirts under sleeveless black hoodies/ corsets with leather band jackets, etc. Definitely a spikey black boots/spiked collar type person). Decently pale skin and really dark blueish eyes, like the night sky right before it fades to black or the sea during a thunderstorm. They do their own piercings which has given them more than one infection, but he does have some successful ones (nose bridge, eyebrow, lots of ear stuff, and snakebites). Remus will insist to do it for them if he knows that she has a new idea, and he's significantly safer about them.

Remus (he/they? He/him? Somewhat cis but has a complicated relationship with gender): short golden brown hair that's in a barely noticeably mullet style. Nostril piercing (Sirius said it would look good on him so he did it). Warm-toned light brown skin with a lot of freckles that you generally can't see, dark amber eyes. Dresses for comfort over style, which usually means t-shirts, sweatpants and beat up old sneakers. Their only very noticeable scar on their face is one over their lips and chin. They have more, but the others are more skin toned.

Peter (he/they, sometimes it): generally very cute, light skin with some freckles and messy wavy blonde hair, pale sky blue eyes. Sirius is trying to convince him to let them give him snakebites but he's very on the fence about it (he barely even wears makeup so he isn't the most adventurous about that stuff). Thick/long lashes. Tends to wear muted neutral colors. The only jewelery that he's consistent about is a leather bracelet he always has on his left wrist. Tries to not be visually noticeable, tends to hang around the back of the friend group and let the others get all the attention.

James (he/him probably): longer curly/wavy dark brown queer mullet (tboy energy) and warm brown skin. Dark golden toned brown eyes. People tend to think he and Remus are cousins or something which he thinks is really funny (he's definitely turned around and started making out with him for as a bit when someone asks them if they're related). Usually wears brown dyed or bleached jeans and reddish-brown/brown/green-brown/yellow t shirts and tops for the cohesive and effortless energy. Paints his nails bright colors whenever he can as a contrast to Sirius's chronically flaking black nail polish. Has his lobes pierced but usually just wears gold studs. Wears gold bands around his biceps so he can flex when he wins a quiddich (<- I did not check how to spell that, you know what I mean) match

Regulus (he/him): he prefers to wear more formal clothing because that's what he was raised doing and the layers help him cover up any raised areas on his binder, but when that isn't an option/he's too depressed to do anything fancy, he wears black hoodies that are significantly too large for him (barty or evan's usually). Makeup tends to give hm dysphoria, but he always fills in his eyebrows and he'll put eyeliner on his waterline when he's going to an actual event. He pierced his tongue as an act of rebellion when he was younger and now he just fidgets with it a lot, other than that he just has his lobes done (he got them as a newborn) and he always leaves them empty in hopes that they'll seal up.

I know what the others look like but this is long enough as is haha

What sort of outfits would the ROs wear to a nice formal event? Thank you!!

Hi, anon!

I was going to link an ask I had a while back (not because I've answered this before, but because it was about masquerades and might be of related interest), but the terrible Tumblr search feature strikes again, and I can't find it. Just know that it exists somewhere, if you're brave enough to look for it.

But regarding your question! Bear in mind that I am woefully uncultured when it comes to formal dress and what different types of fancy clothing might be called, but I'll try my best!

Alex - Favors a vest for formal events, in whatever form that would take. Vest over a button-down and some formal slacks or a faux vest dress. They are likely to pick less traditionally formal colors and go with colors that make them stand out, sometimes in the form of fancy patterns. Their shoes are the one place where they'd indulge in comfort over fashion, probably wearing flats or loafers. They would accessorize mainly with belts, earrings, and bracelets. Alex might do up their hair fancy if they feel like it, but they would stick to high bun styles. Alex doesn't prefer makeup, but they might do some light eye makeup if the situation calls for it.

Teagan - The least formal he could possibly be. He's had his fill of stuffy formal events and doesn't particularly like dressing formal, so he'd probably go the most basic black or khaki slacks with a solid-color button-down shirt and loafers. No accessories, nothing fancy with his hair, no exciting patterns, no makeup or nail polish.

Ansel - Very close to how he dresses normally, but nicer clothing. Long-sleeved button-down shirt, tie or bow-tie, formal slacks usually black. He might add a vest and jacket if the event is especially formal. He'll also wear fancier shoes than normal and has a pair of glasses with a fancy frame that he wears for formal events. He might braid his hair rather than keep it in a ponytail like normal.

Cherry - Bouffont or a-line style dresses, probably in warmer colors. With or without patterns, depending on what kind of formal event it is. Very light makeup if she is applying it herself, but she'd be willing to do more makeup if she has someone knowledgeable to help her. She's not really one for jewelry, but she might wear some understated earrings or bracelets. Whatever nylons match the dress she's wearing, and probably wedges or kitten heels because they are a little easier to walk in.

Lucia - Most likely to show up looking like a Vogue model. Lucia loves fashion and loves all different styles of clothing. Dresses, pantsuits, blouse & skirt—she will wear anything to a formal event. Big on makeup, nail polish, and accessories too. She'd pick from a wide variety of hairstyles too. Lucia is very much a "you'll never see me in the same formal outfit twice" kind of person. Don't even get her started on shoes. Lucia's taste in fashion is waaaay bigger than her wallet.

Rene - He would show up in a proper tux, though he might play around with the colors a bit rather than sticking to the basic formal colors. He'd also paint his nails to match his tux—or a partner's outfit if he's attending the event with someone. While he doesn't change his hair style often, he changes his hair color a lot and would try to coordinate that with his outfit if possible.

??? - She attends a lot of events for both family and the family business, so she often dresses in a business formal on an everyday basis. For special formal events, she prefers form-fitting dresses, usually strapless or halters, typically in dark colors. She usually has that kind of femme fatale look, especially when it comes to her makeup. She'll wear necklaces and bracelets, but only very sleek, minimalist ones. Her nails are always manicured, usually with some kind of french-tip, but she'll do other styles as well.

I hope this paints enough of a picture! Thanks for the ask!
