Donorian Traditional Fashion

Traditional Donorian fashion is the historical clothing of the Donorian culture, often only modernly worn during cultural celebrations or certain formal events.

Donorian traditional garments often are wrapped and tied in place, or more modernly buttoned or snapped closed, at the side of the chest rather than having all the sides sewn closed.

V-shaped Necklines are common, especially for outer clothes.

Clothing

Base layer

The base layer of traditional Donorian clothing involves a shirt and a lower body garment, either trousers or a skirt. Dresses may also be worn.

The shirt may be worn over or under the skirt. Pants are often worn under the shirt.

Outer layer

Extra layers such as robes, which can have long sleeves or be sleeveless, add warmth and decoration to the outfit. These long robes are often worn in winter or for formal wear, they are not commonly worn for everyday clothing.

Short loose jackets or vests are commonly worn as an overlayer with almost every outfit.

These outer layers often have a v-shaped neckline, with the ties starting lower on the body than the base layers.

Under Wear

An undershirt that covers the front of the torso and is tied on similar to a halter top. Historically, it was rarely worn by itself, often being covered by some sort of top, but modernly may be worn as a sort of tank top.

Shoes

Sandals are commonly worn for everyday wear, especially in the other regions, and can be simple and casual or decorative and formal. They are often made of plant fibers or from leather.

Flats may also be worn, often for more wealthy or formal wear. They are often more decorative and are made of leather.

These shoes could have simple leather soles or wooden soles. Those with wooden soles could be made into platform shoes by having thicker -often intricate carved- soles that raise the person off the ground. The platforms could alternatively be a separate piece that could be strapped on over a person's regular shoes.

Headgear

Headbands

Donorians will often wear headbands and headband-like headpieces that are used to keep their head tendrils from getting in their face, as well as being decorative and pretty; these may be simple and undecorated or fancy with decorative beads, fabric, and dangly things. Cloth or leather headbands are also common for less formal wear.

These headbands and headwear are still commonly worn and are one of the most continuous aspects of donorian traditional clothing.

Hairstyles

As Donorians do not have hair, they do not have much in the way of hairstyles leaving their head tendrils to stay naturally slicked back.   They may use large ties or clips to keep tendrils together and out of the way if needed, however, these are not as popular as headbands as they can be uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Jewelry

Collar-like necklaces and large pendant earrings are common in Donorian traditional fashion as are pendants that can be attached to one's head tendrils or headbands. Decorative metal belts may also be worn.
