For the Butch/femme discussion for Kara: I think the wardrobe department is the stereotypes(social programming) to express Kara's thru self. Color and cute dresses for her more femme qualities that scream girl, but still using butch influence to give of a tone of strength. Us queer people are just picking it up more cause we look for it more, the straights are only picking up subconsciously. So it showing she is super-sweet but will kick someone's a$$ if she needs to.
Yes yes yes. She’s like… a cupcake made of metal.
Bulletproof pastel cardigans. Cute tan flats with steel tips. Ponytails with razor blades in them that fall out occasionally and Kara goes “Oop! Watch the razor blades! Sorry! Golly.”
But really it’s gay button ups but in cute “girly” colors. Plaid shirts with pants but with high-maintenence hair styles. Hell, she could wear a bow tie, but it’d have like little flowers or polkadots or something on it.
Pan Pants and a Bi Belt but an attemptedly Straight Shirt:
So much plaid (but usually- though not always- in dress or skirt form or paired with a skirt.)
And then there’s the original and most iconic of Kara’s half-butch half-femme looks, the gay sweater with collar poking out paired with a bright ass skirt that only a straight should wear.
Don’t even get me started on those neutral-ass shoes.
“Kara, doing your hair nicely will not negate the fact that turtlenecks are gay and that that is a gay jacket”
“Oooooooh. Well what about the jeans?”“Well they’re not helping.”
And then. My absolute favorite. This. Which looks like a gay-ass button up shirt that changed it’s mind halfway through and decided to become a dress instead:
And then it threw in some butch boots with a femme heel and just enough ankle to drive the ladies wild and called it a day.
But the point is, Kara can go anywhere from:
To:
During the span of one daily, non-fancy event day. Especially since her outfit could be damaged during Super Things. If not because she was wearing it when attacked then because she threw it in a bush when changing.
But I bet Kara is most comfortable in just
To conclude, Kara’s style, from soft butch to chill femme, pretty much just looks like:
