Your English is great, it's my English I'll have to apologise for because I type too fast and don't proof check. I have a Natsu bible I somewhat go by and you’ve opened the floodgates to my rant.

He clearly has preferences and he is willing to break his code for sentimental purposes. I.e Igneel’s scarf. He's a fire mage on the move so I try to keep him in his baggy pants and sandals. I think he looks best in black but to indicate he is older I like to branch him out into reds and greens.

All credit to Mashima for dressing Natsu and Zeref in black with gold trim. Amazing subtle detail. I like to give him Alzarez clothes because I think he would imo. A connection to a brother who broke the biggest tabboo to keep him alive. Long coats and high collars are great. I do try to put designs on the trim but he ends up looking like Edo Natsu.

I personally dislike the reset outfits. I prefer Lucy with long hair, Wendy's bob, Natsu's scar. I prefer them to carry the change.

Also Natsu is so sentimental. His wardrobe clearly indicates he likes comfy/ easy-to-move-in clothes and values letting his skin breathe yet he wears a super long and thick scarf at all times because it's all he has left of his dad. Can Mashima not make me cry please??

I also love the communication that he is very proud of his guild so will wear clothes with one sleeve to display his guild mark to the world.

He also shares accessories with Lucy and does so on multiple occasions. I love that detail and will keep natsu in ribbons bands and bracelets even if it looks like it would obstruct his combat. I think canonically he loves a visual that they are partners and I believe they both buy them for each other. Lucy would have been the first to buy matching bands.

I also like to keep Natsu fashionable, there is a one-off line from Natsu when Zancrow (is that his name? The God-Slayer from Tenrou) causes Natsu's scarf to turn black. Natsu comments that his scarf now "clashes" with his outfit. I am a thorough believer this is Lucy influence, she is the only character, aside from Igneel, who has influence on what Natsu wears. So Natsu will not (imo) just throw anything on. He clearly loves wearing black, orange/gold, red and green and it really suits him.
