CHARLOTTE, EP 2:

Charlotte likes to softly embellish her clothes with things that are important to her. She wears soft cardigans with flowers pinned to her front to reflect the garden in the School; she also wears pink bangles on her wrists to reflect the rolls of her Magcat’s body & its color.

She mostly wears light pastel colors to demonstrate a cheery, feminine, and upbeat character. Her silhouettes are simple and mostly flat.

Q84 (MORE):

Q84 only wears clothes that are terribly dramatic and a tad dreadful. You can find her wearing some subversion of marching band costumes and historical Napoleon-esque cosplays to evoke a sense of colonization and theatrics. Either way, she loves elaborate headpieces. 

She enjoys wearing anything that simulates vertebrates, including belted shoes with platforms. She especially loves Demonias.

She loves designer brands, specifically the darkness and power of Mugler.

CHARLOTTE (ORACLE):

Her stylish and unusual pieces behind her (the swirl of eyes & the gold circle) in her Oracle appearance are congruent to her extra-ordinary powers. Some pieces that I think similarly evoke the power of her pieces are Mugler’s “Birth of Venus” dress & a Miss Claire Sullivan (amazing designer brand!) look. 

Note: I’m sure everyone is aware of this, but if not, it is very interesting how the yellow circle behind her head is a halo. Halos have been used in many paintings historically to show the sanctity and goodness of the person in question.
