Fashion and Clothing standards

Lion Nutaj
In the year 3025 the people of Athens are not too fussed on what to wear as they are working very long hours which means that the majority of the time they are in the same outfit for their job so it acceptable to wear something comfortable such as shorts and a thin shirt as an outfit during March-September where the weather peaks at 43 degrees celsius.   From October-February it would be work trousers or denim jeans with a jumper or a hoodie or coat when it drops below 10 degrees celsius.  

Street/Urbanwear

Something that has seen a rise since the 21st century is urban and streetwear which consists of thrifting clothes to save money but also saves materials by re-using old clothes that someone else no longer wanted, this is supported by ATHENA to help reduce landfill as the more landfill will lead to rubbish being thrown outside the walls which is illegal for anyone to do and vice versa.   Due to the weather, casual clothing is usually quite minimal with only 2 layers being worn meaning the underwear, then a shirt or a T-shirt for a smart-casual look with jeans or chinos being the a simple outfit to wear and flat shoes made from suede or leather, for a less formal approach some may choose to wear trainers and tracksuit bottoms for an athletic look. A lot of people might wear shorts too with knee-length being the most acceptable whilst shorts up to the thigh are mainly worn by people who are jogging for some exercise.   A lot of people in Athens do not like wearing flashy and extravagant pieces of clothing as it makes them a more attractive target, not to criminals but to ATHENA as the people of Athens wear the same clothes to try and fit in and not be picked on. This is why clothes are not longer branded and all maintain negative colours as these colours do not pop-out as much to ATHENA.  

Formal/Business

Formal wear tends to be worn by those who work for A.T.I and can be seen in the Alpha Quadrant but these people are not welcome there as some residents like to avoid them when walking on the street, give them dirty looks and something they may hurl verbal abuse at them.   This is why business people look more stocky in the Alpha Quadrant as they will wear a kevlar vest as ATHENA does not want to risk them getting hurt even though it is not likely as the regime has a lot of officers on the street watching your every move.   Officers can also wear casual clothing to blend in with the crowd as ATHENA finds out that it is less intimidating to people in malls or public spaces. Formal clothing would never be worn by them as it is not appropriate clothing if they have to engage in combat with someone.  

Alternative Materials

Due to the reduction of animals being skinned to prevent the extinction of certain animals such as Tigers that were on the brink of extinction 100s of years ago. This also makes more sense as there is less demand every year for animal products as veganism is a lot more popular than it has ever been with people doing for financial reasons whilst those who have no worry about finances do it for diet reasons as well ethical reasons as they try use it as a way to brag about how they are making Athens a better place for not wearing leather and wool.
