In general, Imperials wear dark, rich
jewel tones when they can afford them. Imperial clothes are move
tailored than Achaean or Galacian styles, and unlike Sienovese and
Mithraic styles, emphasize the tall, narrow build of the Imperial upper
classes. Their growing middle classes imitate the aristocracy in
dress, but are careful not to out-dress their patrons. The only
legally restricted form of dress are the court robes, which may only be
worn by Patrician and Equestrian families. Each house has its own
style, and only the Imperial family's robes are sleaved.
- Lady's day costume, suitable for business, day-time social
or charitable events, and leisure activities like hunting, boating, and
so on. Except for formal dress, women's clothing in the imperium
often plays off of men's styling for jackets and shirts.
- Gentleman's day costume suitable for business, day-time social or
chairitable events, and leisure activities.
- Women's evening dress: much like Sienovese costume but with
higher necklines, more somber colors, and often a narrower silhouette.
- Formal court robes. Worn by both men and women over the
highest quality day or evening wear, these robes are always family
heirlooms. They are jewel encrusted and woven with magic.
The style of the robes is ancient and they require much practice to
wear.
