🌺 What is your oc’s formal wear like?
hi!! thank you so much for the ask and i’m SO sorry for the massive delay! i’ll answer for aiteann and dorian, because i feel like they’d have the most interesting answers.
for aiteann, although he’s a faery, and a favourite of the queen, he’s also a soldier. he wears the fancy silks and embroidery common amongst the fae, but opts out of the looser garments — popular for formal occasions, as it shows you can afford more fabric, and that you have no need to move quickly — that can make it difficult to move in. cloaks can still be useful for hiding weapons, though.
dorian had his fill of fancy clothes in the faery realm, and he doesn’t like modern formalwear (not that he had much cause to wear formalwear at all before he joined the fae). he tries to dress nicely, but even at a formal event he’d probably just opt for black trousers and a nice shirt.
