1. Clothing in Armanzari tends to have intricate trims. Current styles involve woven patterns pieced together on either side of solid strips.
2. Metal Chains and bands are the most common and popular ornamentation among the Armanzar people. The more delicate and fine, the expensive they are. Such chains are often hung about the horns, shoulders, and sewn on the hems of clothing (rings and necklaces are not unheard of, but primarily occur along the coast, where merchants travel and cultures mingle), and often have charms attached for decoration. Most charms are simple shapes, though noble houses will spout crests or patron animals.
3. While belts are worn for practical reasons, only lower lasses use them to adjust ill-fitting clothing. Despite being generally light and loose, tailoring is hugely important to Armanzar fashion. The desirable clothing lays at an exact point on the body, and any deviation is seen as sloppy, or a sign of poverty.
(servant’s clothing has different, but just as precisely judged, dress standards.
4. The dress back is often reinforced due to the fact that bags, rather than having straps, are clipped on to rings along the sides of the dress. Such reinforcement prevents ripping from heavy loads.
Because physical strength is a prized trait to the Armanzar, even the highest ranking members of society carry their own gear and supplies. However, because bags further forward on the body are easier to reach, warriors and working class individuals will tend to store supplies further forward for convenience, whereas those with servants will place gear further back, carrying it but not needing to retrieve it themselves.
