Fashion Police! We're on CODE RED!
Citizens of the Garden!
This is the first fashion column for us, isn't it? It certainly won't be the last by the looks of everyone's dress. Really, who said that all these colors would make a perfect combination with navy? But, that's neither here, nor there. Thank goodness for the option to wear what we choose. It's quite a luxury for a military school.
Speaking of choosing what to wear, here's some advice. I'll try to make it as friendly as possible.
1. Be true to your skin tone. Not every color will suit you! How will you know? You'll just have to try out every shade that suits you until you get it right. Or just have a female eye help you out. Also, proper skin care will go a long way. Cleanse, exfoliate, tone. You're welcome.
2. Patterns are your friends, don't abuse them. Depending on the style, you can work with two different patterns. Throwing on three or more, and people will be throwing up on you!
3. This is more for us ladies, but men may use this if it suits them. Makeup is meant to enhance your own natural beauty, not make you into an unrecognizable being. Does anyone here eat over ten of those 'hot dogs' in one sitting? Of course not! (Or I hope not!) It would go straight to your thighs! It's also unsightly, so please don't do it. The keyword here is MODERATION, ladies (and gents?).
4. Hair! My favorite topic. A good majority of students (and dare I say, faculty too? You bet!) suffer from the harsh winter season. Or...perhaps you are just suffering all the time, I'm unable to tell. BUT the first step in getting your hair into better shape is by treating your body right! Water, exercise, a proper diet, SUNLIGHT (I see you, my fellow computer scientists!) will set your hair on the path to recovery! Oh, and washing wouldn't hurt, too. Get a good lather going!
And we are are coming to the grand finale of this column. How to spice up your wardrobe. Why not add a splash of color to a hat by adding a pin? Or how about wearing a shirt that isn't grey, black, tan, or white, gentlemen (pending you follow the advice in #1 above)? Just incorporating even a bit of color can perk up your entire look, and maybe even your life, for the better! What color would I suggest, you ask? Why, red of course~. ♥
I'll be back again, hopefully covering fashion Dos and Don'ts for field work. Covering everything from espionage to blending in while undercover to what to wear for ballroom dancing.

I don't think I've ever been confused for a male before. I'm most certainly not a guy.
Oh! I forgot to sign this last time didn't I? Sorry. I haven't been using technology for a while so I got out of the habit again.

...never heard.
But to answer your previous question, perhaps styles have changed in accordance to how a woman wants her body to be shown, along with proving that only she is in charge of it.
Not to mention, sex sells.

Would you go shopping with me sometime? It'd be nice to have something to surprise Parn with when he returns from his missions. I'm not sure if he'd even notice, but I'd still like to try something new for me.
Nothing too tight or restricting though, or itchy like the SeeD uniforms! That's not comfortable at all.

Sex sells?
[That's not a concept they particularly have back in the olden days like on Lodoss.]

Yes, the human form, usually scantily clad and youthful (not TOO youthful!), sells more products than some granny in night robes.

I don't see why my decisions would be swayed by someone depending on their appearance and how much they were wearing.
