The need for practical clothing that could be recycled during clothing rationing caused a change in attitude towards women's clothes.

I also redesigned Thorne’s outfit, thought this would fit him better. The whole outfit it made specifically for him as a tiefling. It has 4 parts

1. the one piece which is the lighter colored part that is tight against his skin, it’s made out of material that is good for swimming. 

2. The pants, which latch in the back, they are baggy but comfy

3. The shirt, it has an open back like the one piece, to avoid the spines that grow there. 

4. the belt, which holds it all together! along with the fancy things that hang off of it

Q&A: Impractical Footwear

Would wearing high heels be a good tactical strategy for a female combatant? Because stilettos have a sharp point at the end that can poke somebody’s eye out, right? Tell me if this is logical or impractical.

It’s impractical. So, in order, “no,” and, “yes, but still impractical.”

There’s some history here. High heels started as an evolution from men’s cavalry boots. So, there was a practical application: a slightly raised heel would grip into the stirrup more securely than a flat sole would. These went from combat wear, to men’s fashion, to women’s fashion, where the height of the heel increased dramatically. You could think of them as a 17th century version of all those stolen hoodies.

You’ll still see a slightly raised heel on things like motorcycle or cowboy boots, and those can be practical combat wear, but we’re talking about a 1 inch heel at most (see above.) Unlike high heels, these won’t disrupt the user’s balance, and they will provide protection to the foot itself, from casual injury. Again, these are practical considerations for their use, if you need to lock your foot into a stirrup, a raised heel will help you do that.

Ask any bouncer who’s had the job long enough, and you’ll find stories about drunken women trying to take each other’s eyes out with stiletto heels. This happens. They’ll take the shoe off and try to brain someone with it. As an improvised weapon, it’s not great. Wouldn’t recommend.

I mentioned this, but high heels shift your balance. They force the hips forward, increasing the curve of the spine, and pushing the chest out. Women’s high heels are about modifying the wearer’s posture to make them more attractive. This doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to run or fight in them, just that you’ll almost certainly wish you weren’t. In fact, if someone is in a dangerous situation wearing high heels, in most cases they’re better off removing them and going barefoot. (Yes, breaking the heel is, technically, an option, though it has it’s own issues.)

So, what you’re describing is impractical. If your character is planning for trouble, they’re better off in flats.

Seriously though can we get some stories set during Ahsoka’s Teenage Space Vagabond period?

Sooooo, I keep an ongoing list called "Characters in Video Games That Need to Put Better Clothes On".

Now, I do this for two reasons: One is the stereotypical "Tired of seeing female characters presented as eye candy, it's rude and distasteful" thing that lots of female gamers talk about (I'm also LDS, so I am generally a proponent of tasteful clothing).

But it's not just about the ladies, or people in scandalous outfits. You see, one of my pet peeves is when ANY character, regardless of gender or species, wears an outfit that does not meet their actual needs, even if tasteful or really awesome. One of my favorite examples is the Pegasus Knight sisters from the first Fire Emblem game- While I admit I would prefer pants or slightly longer skirts for them, their outfits would be reasonable for, say, foot soldiers. BUT THEY ARE RIDING FREAKING PEGASI!!! You KNOW that every Tom, Rick and Harry is looking up their skirts as they fly over. Plus that calls for some really serious wind burn in some pretty unpleasant areas.

As a result, one of my hobbies is to take characters from this list and redesign their outfits to better fit their occupations and situations. If anyone has any suggestions for anyone that should go on the list, leave an ask explaining who they are and why they qualify, and if I have time I will redesign them. :3
