I honestly really like the way TWST represents fashion and femininity.
It's something that is very openly embraced, but never really commented on by other characters. Even the more masculine presenting characters wear glittery makeup and nice frilly clothes, simply because they look nice.
The only character that did have a problem with his femininity was taught that it was not a negative thing and a strength. Epel has come to accept parts of his femininity, but admittedly still struggles.
Many of the designs even take inspiration from major fashion brands. Riddles new outfit is a shining example of that, having strong influences by Vivienne Westwood. Vil is another example of that. His outfits often have design elements by Luis Vuitton. Makeup brands are referenced too in a lot of the new Birthday cards.
What I'm most thankful for is that this is not sexualised, which is something that unfortunately happens very with Amab people wearing feminine clothes, especially online. I could go on a while rant about this but I'll stop myself for now.
It's been a really long time since I've seen so many cool and creative designs for male characters and I'm really grateful.
Once we step out of traditional gender roles, character design becomes a lot more fun.
