this picture is triggering my acrophobia
Current region my players are in has very utilitarian and heat-friendly tunics and breeches with sandals for most "indoor" activities since their mountain homes have a lot of forges and furnaces keeping the place toasty as shit, everything gets dirty hella fast (personal hygiene is very important for this reason, not being a clean freak or having the prestidigitation cantrip can get you killed in this level of bullshit).
When outside the mountains or out of their stone surface houses which are built in a pueblo style and tend to be vertically stacked on one another with multiple layers of bridges and rooftop streets, they tend to throw elaborate ponchos, shawls, sashes, scarves and hoods on. Virtually every color under the sun sees some action, different colors tend to be popular with different social classes/seasons/professions, a lot of stripes and geometric patterns get used, and women tend to wear bells and little metal chimes sewn into the hems of their shawls because they view someone who can wear that and only have a soft jingling noise as elegant and poised, which are big traits to have as a woman of marrying age. Wearing multiple layers of things easily put on and taken off is because depending on where they are in the cities they can go from one extreme to another very quickly, and many of their social customs (rituals involving friendships, marriage rites, expressing a particularly big business deal, you name it) often involve exchanging some of your worn garb.

Refugees tend to not wear much fancy clothing, except for occasional outfits where people spent weeks making it look good from scraps.
But the Romani? Oh, they embroidered their clothes out the fucking ass man. It wasn't just one outfit that was colorful as fuck, it was pretty much anything they wore except when doing work that created a lot of dirt.
Stuff like >>46385766 is a good example
>>46386258

>>46386286

>>46386279
They're not directly inspired by the Romani, besides the fact they're a traveling people without any homeland with a bad reputation. I was more just looking for subdued future human fashion that also doesn't look too "high fashion". Preferably a hodgepodge of cultural influences.
I know a fair bit about what actual Gypsies were though.

>>46386142
For European fashion, we can blame it on two major points in my opinion: The English Civil War, and the French Revolution, both of which clothing fashions were major indicators of which side you're on. When the peasants won, they of course demonized anyone attempting to dress in a noble fashion, as the nobility were who to watch for all strata.
Fucking peasants.

Traditionally, We wore the clothing of the region, if a little out of fashion, so embroidery was an easy way of dressing it up while remaining somewhat fitting in. We also have the traditional diklo or dolla, which is usually heavily embroidered, and can be worn with anything to dress it up.
The super colorful and embroidered stuff is tyically saved for special occasions, or performances.

In the thickly forested regions where they fear vampires, gorgets and high collars are popular. Farmers or anyone particularly paranoid would wear rims of gourds around their necks, as to actually provide protection from neck-bites. While garishly bright white/yellows are seen as incredibly pure and untouched, red and black are more moderately stylish.
In the wet learned land of ivory towers, long clothes are the norm; fabulous dresses, unkempt robes, or shady trenchcoats, they are all seen as fashionable. Many make their robes sparkle by adding gold and silver threads, not so much as to become the primary focus but as to become a spice. Gold and silver are used to absorb magic, so they find it vastly appropriate to include precious metals in their attire. The less fortunate use bright yellow and gray threads in place of this.
The jungles to the east are famous for their silks, so its denizens, while not up to times with their technology, keep up their image by wearing expertly crafted clothes ahead of their time. Despite being barely above tribalistic culture, explorers were met with peasants dressed as well as some nobles from back home. As these near-primitives craft clothes for themselves and all their families before selling it to caravans, they manage to get high prices due to being very presentable and low supply insinuating a relatively high demand.
The barbarians in the cold wastes wear skins stitched together and thin underclothes. They care little about the cold, so their jackets are often tossed aside or otherwise put away even when snowing, to the bewilderment of outsiders. Metals are rare, so wearing them does make their image better, but because they find that functionality wins out over style, they respect those with worn and rusted equipment over perfectly kept metal.

>Within the building known to outsiders ad the Gray Citadel and the surrounding lands, no personal decoration is allowed. Hair is to be washed, but not groomed. A functional garment of the hue native to its material is to be worn at all times, with no adornments. This same rule applies to sandals.
In colder times, undyed and unrefined fur coats and boots are to be worn over these for protection from the cold, as is an unadorned hat.
Language, too, is free of adornments. There are no synonyms or poetic forms. In addition, there are no separate words for colors as concepts. One is to speak without tone, gesture, or expression.
Tools and weapons are to be made only to serve their function. In wartime, there is no cry of battle or drumming for the march - there is only cold silence. One is to divorce oneself even from rage in the midst of war - there is only the task at hand.
This is enforced by patrols of rough-hewn iron constructs.
Needless to say, their more flamboyant neighbors do not like them very much, and so far it is only the sheer difficulty of entering the land that has spared it the response the outside world's abject horror should bring.
