Cookie! (´• ω •`) ♡ So happy to see you in my askbox and even more happy to finally write for you! I hope you will like it :3
Picking clothes for their s/o
Bartolomeo is a walking fashion disaster - and he’s not ashamed of it. He just puts on himself whatever is both comfortable and crazy enough to distinguish him from the crowd. Oh, and of course it has to be manly enough, to emphasize the boldness and his rough spirit! Besides that he’s not picky at all. And he’s even less picky when it comes to your choice of fashion. It’s your style and your body and truly he would be crazy for you even if you were wearing an old potato bag. You’re so beautiful in his eyes he just… Can’t even process paying attention to what you’re wearing.
When you ask him to pick some clothes for you though, he simply panics. Barto can’t decide if he’s more excited that you trust him so much or rather: more scared because you trusted him with such an important task. He doesn’t know a single thing about fashion, so even if he knows you, how is he supposed to choose something that’d be the best for you? The fact you allow him to choose what he thinks is the most suitable doesn’t help him. He gets pretty stubborn. It HAS TO be perfect for you. You’re the one going to wear it after all.
When in doubt, ask Strawhats. Bartolomeo has a huge collection of various photos of his idols (gotten… in a more or less shady way, mostly from journalists and the Navy), so he immediately dives in for any reference. He tries to compare your style with clothes Nami and Robin wear - and catches himself all the time imagining you in their outfits anyway. On the one hand, the view is tempting. On the other… Would you really like it? Would a woman be happy to cosplay her partner’s female idols? Barto is not a relationship specialist, but even he knows it’d easily turn awkward.
Eventually he decides on something… Not even half-way, but rather absolutely mixed. He dives into your wardrobe and choses everything he loves the most, followed by clothes that more or less make him think of Nami or Robin. On top of that, after a long while of hesitation, he also choses a few of his own favorite clothes. He is quite curious how you would look in something he usually wears, but before he had no chance to suggest it. Besides… As bold and cocky as he is, Barto is quite shy in a relationship.
Whatever outfit you’re going to make out of clothes he brings you, it absolutely knocks him down. The mix of your beauty, his own sense of possessiveness stroked and distinctive similarities to female Strawhats… This is just too much for his poor soul! He swoons, cries and balances on a thin line between consciousness and death. And if you’re going to add anything else Strawhat related, like a merch - oh, have mercy on this poor nerd. His fragile heart wouldn’t take it!
He would never admit it aloud - after all, this is absolutely against the whole idea of chivalry he deeply believes he follows - but Cavendish tends to treat his friends and partners tad like accessories for his top tier expensive and refined outfits. And you’re not an exception. Truth to be told, your style is even more likely to grasp his attention than your overall appearance and even personality. Cavendish found you matching his general vibe, so he accepted you worthy his attention. The whole rest is a nice addition he with time appreciates much, much more.
Frankly said, you must be ready for him getting his nose into your wardrobe. All. The. Time. In contrast to his courtly manners and customs, Cavendish knows no concept of personal space. Even if you only let him touch your pinkie, he’s going to have your whole arm within a second. Not only is he going through your clothes on a daily basis and strongly expects you to wear what he suggests, but he also 10/10 will steal clothes from you if he finds them matching whatever style he has planned for himself. Cavendish can be worse than Soviet Russia. It’s our wardrobe, the end.
Luckily, this man has an amazing taste of fashion and a good eye for details. Once he accepts you and your style, he also memorizes and cherishes it. He simply knows what you look good in and what makes you feel the most comfortable - and he’s nearly perfect in that, as if he was somehow reading your mind. But there’s more! The longer and more stable your relationship is, the better he is in guessing your moods and basing his outfits suggestions on that.
Storming clothes shops, choosing and trying new outfits and spending tons of money (or stealing tons of clothes, if the image of a notorious pirate becomes more important than his chivalrous ambitions) is definitely among his favorite things to do with you. Cavendish has no shame when it comes to doing the shopping with you and nothing would stop him, even the fact you are thinking of getting some nice undergarments. More - he demands, tad like a spoiled kid, to be around you and serve you with his opinion. His ability to distinguish practical situations from intimate ones balances on the line of awkwardness. Once he enters the mood of outfit planning, he sees you more as a lay figure than a person and no nudity is able to break his unfazed mind.
But above all, Cavendish loves and respects you, so he would never try to force you to do something for him. Sulking around like a kicked puppy, preparing himself for hours-long discussions or even trying to bribe you? Yeah, it can happen, especially if he’s in a bad mood and gets stubborn to see you in an outfit he wants. But once you say no, it’s no. Game is over and Cavendish immediately disappears from your sight. He will also remember what caused your resistance, to not trigger it anymore in the future.
Like Bartolomeo, Smoker simply couldn’t care less about what you are wearing and where and why. He never judges people by the way they look and he paid attention to you because of your personality, your set of beliefs and values and, finally, your intelligence - not because of your looks or so called style. Unlike Bartolomeo, he wouldn’t be himself, if he didn’t pay attention to what you are wearing. He’s an observant man and every change in his environment is quickly noted and judged. Sometimes he can be an ass as well, so if you decide to put on yourself something he finds hilarious or stupid, you can expect a comment from him. Not a snarky one, rather playful and teasing.
If you’re in the mood to go wild about your outfit, Smoker does his best to quickly evacuate or pretend he is very busy with work. He hates everything fashion related. He knows nothing about it, his wardrobe contains only uniforms (slightly modified for his personal taste - no shirts, chest uncovered!) and those few horrible gifts Tashigi somehow forced him to accept. Maybe he’s smart enough to tell a skirt from a dress, but honestly, don’t expect him to figure out how to put outfits together. He’s one of those dudes who would wear crocs to a suit and see nothing wrong with it.
His favorite strategy to avoid your clothing adventures is to simply give you money you can spend on yourself as a “gift from him”. If you get stubborn though and he won’t find any excuse, he will do everything in a least-effort way and the fastest he can. Smoker would just randomly choose the first clothes he sees, without no idea what he is doing nor any project in mind besides “I need to get out of here”. Hopefully, you don’t treat this seriously - because his outfits always end as a disaster. Though, it can be a good way to goof around.
When the latter wins, Smoker with time can learn to appreciate some quality fun time with you. He’s a serious man, but he loves a good joke. The more you know each other, the more efficient such fooling around is going to be, especially if it takes the form of a fashion parody. Looking for ugly matches doesn’t become an excuse to run away from you, but rather a deliberate joke, often targeted at fashion disasters he knows, himself included.
The only time Smoker would approach you on his own and suggest you wearing something would be when you two didn’t see each other for a longer time. He has a habit of bringing you little gifts from whenever his job throws him - and lots of them are cute accessories, keychains, jewelry, pins, you name it. Maybe it has a little flavor of possessiveness in it, but he needs to soothe his yearning and see you in something from him. If the separation was exceptionally long, he might even ask you to wear one of his jackets. Whatever it is, he simply can’t stop staring.
