My interpterion of Fashion in ASOIAF :Free cities edition P.t 1
I thought it might be fun to make sims based on places in ASOIAF , this is mainly my head canon of how they would dress mixed with what the book says .(side note I haven't been active recently because my internet has been terrible,).
Volantis
The nobility of Volantis are descended form the blood of old Valyria and known to be extremely elitist so I imagine Valyrian features would be the main beauty standard .They would wear ancient Greek styled dresses , with lots of jewellery and finery. Going with the Greek influence I imagine a pear shaped body would be ideal and dresses would be fitted to achieve this look, purple or blue eyes and pale blonde to sliver hair would be most desirable. I could see them lighting their hair to achieve a more slivery look. As for hairstyles curly updos and braided hair would be popular , hair would be adorned with pins, tiaras and veils , the makeup would probably accentuate Valyrian features rouge on the cheek bones to create a sculpted face, tightlining the eyes with black eyeliner to makes their eyes pop and thin plucked eyebrows also white face powder to create a paler complexation.
Lys
Similarly to the Volantense the Lyseni have the blood of old Valyria however the features are much more prominent in them, so I don't think there would be as much of a push to create these features as they already have them. The Lyseni are known for their pillow houses and beauty as a people so more revelling dresses with cut outs would be fitting for the cultures and hot climate , I imagine purples , pinks and reds would be popular colours . Very flashy jewellery and head pieces would be worn , maybe even things like feathers would be incorporated into their hair and clothes. Half up Half down and free flowing styles would be the go to. the makeup would be more colourful with lip stripes and eyeshadow and painted on beauty marks .
Pentos
The pentoshi are an incredibly diverse people decided as being a mix of Andal, Valyrian and other Essosi ethnicities , so I don't think their would be just one standard however considering Pentos is a prominent merchant republic showing of wealth and worldliness would be ideal. They would wear layered dresses made of expensive and colourful mixed fabric from different places. some women may even dye their hair in the Tyroshi style and veils would be popular head coverings. To differentiate themselves from the other free cites more conservative dresses and makeup , emphasizing natural beauty and diversity. they would also draw inspiration from westerosi fashion as they are more closely related to them then most of the other free cities and are close trade partners.
Tyosh
The Tyoshi have the most recognisable and lets be honest coolest look, Most known for their flamboyant style and colourful dyed hair, so their fashion would reflect that. Brightly coloured and intricate patterned clothing , the jewellery would be beaded rather then traditional gems and precious stones. I also think clothing would be more unisex . hair would be worn in a Varity of styles with their iconic hats . Makeup would colourful on the eyes however the rest of the face would mostly be left bare .
Mry
The Mrymen are described as looking different to the rest of the free cities having tanned olive skin and dark hair and eyes and some believe they are descended from the Rhoynar .I also imagine Greek influenced dresses would be popular however with adornment's of Myrish lace. greens and red would be popular colours hair would mostly be worn in updos and hats and veils would be popular . I imagine little to none makeup maybe a little eyeliner.
