Hi, I know very little about historic fashion trends; what style is Rainbow Dash dressed in in your art, and what kind of specific clothes is she wearing? I write captions and I want to caption her style accurately, and I know her outfit is in a particular style, I just don't have the vocabulary to say which. Thanks much!
Rainbow Dash's outfit is sort of a mishmash of things (I felt it was appropriate). She's wearing a striped scarf tie, the type sported by Amelia Earhart as to look like her mane and imply a love for adventure and flying. Over an A-shirt (essentially a "wife-beater"), she's got an unbuttoned vest with stitched diamond patterning (used the below image as reference).
It wasn't my intention when designing (I chose the pattern to give her that rainbow effect), but these vest designs are Sioux, unintentionally coding my Rainbow Dash as indigenous Mexican/First Nations (not too knowledgable on this, if anyone knows more than me, please inform).
The pants are regular trousers with stripes down its length to give the impression of a rainbow trail whenever she runs, taken from this dress.
And of course, she's wearing 1922 Chuck Taylor converse shoes, the first running sneakers manufactured.
A surprising amount of thought and research gets put into the costumes! I'm also working with my partner, who's a costume designer.
