Thunese Traditional Fashion

Thunese Traditional Fashion is the traditional and historical fashion of thunese culture, and is often still worn for formal wear.
  The traditional Thunes clothing is very modest and covers most of the body. Long sleeves and high collars are commonplace. Modern casual clothes often still share some of these elements, albeit toned down.
  A rectangular or shapeless silhouette is fashionable and as such, belts and sashes are often worn low on the hips to keep the silhouette rectangular and shapeless, or they were simply not worn. If one was to wear a belt or sash, they would wear it on the base layer and not the outer layer.

Clothing

Base layer

The base layer of thunese clothing is a set of lower-body garments like a skirt or a set of loose trousers. A loose top which often falls to the knee is worn as the upper garment.
  These upper base layer garments often have buttons that hold the garment closed, often along the middle of the chest or to the side of the chest.

Outer layer

Large loose outer robes that cover much of the body from ankle to neck are commonly worn.
  These outer robes could also be worn as a sort of head-covering by being worn draped over the head or shoulders and held closed with the hands or pinned in place, this is common for feminine clothing. One could wear an outer robe directly on the body as well as wearing a draped robe over their head or shoulders.
  Shorter vests or jackets could also be worn, either over just the base layer or over an outer jacket.
  These outer layers, if they have an opening, open along the middle of the chest where buttons or ties are used to keep them closed. Some styles of outer robes do not have an opening and must be pulled over the head to be worn. These outer layers are often worn closed for formal wear but may be left open if worn more casually.

Shoes

Simple fabric slippers are commonly worn, with more durable outer shoes made of wood or more commonly straw that keep the more decorative fabric shoes clean. These shoes are not commonly worn modernly as the inner shoes are impractical to wear outside and the outer shoes are often less pretty than other options.
  A more expensive and hard-to-maintain show is decorative fabric shoes with a more durable wooden sole. These tend to be worn for formal wear and are the most common type of traditional shoe worn modernly.

Headgear

As stated earlier an outer robe could be worn draped over the head or shoulders and be held or pinned in place.

Head Jewelry

Head Jewelry is a common form of jewelry in thunese traditional fashion. It often informs some sort of headband that goes across the top of the head -which itself is often decorated- with chains and pendants that dangle down over the forehead and face are common for formal thunese clothing.

Jewelry

Fancy jewelry, normally in gold or silver, is a sign of wealth and prosperity. Rings, earrings, and neck rings are the most common kinds of traditional jewelry, with neck rings being a symbol of nobility and wealth. Large chunky hoop earrings are also common, especially for women.   Wide cuff bracelets are also common, especially as part of the dress of a married person due to the presence of Thunese Marriage bracelets. More decorative bracelets are more bangle-like and can often be worn over the cuff like marriage bracelets or by themselves.

Tattoos

Traditional tattoos are also a thing, but now it is more common to just be done in makeup rather than actually tattoos. Traditionally they would be tattooed in black or with scarification but nowadays it is fashionable to do it in metallic colors with makeup. And now they are normally only worn on formal occasions.   The tattoos are fairly simple linear designs that can show a person's career, family, rank, etc, and are a way of showing someone's life at a glance.
