🌿⋅˚˖𓍢ִ໋ FASHION !

So, for you, I think a lot about you is highly inspired by the golden age of Las Vegas, lots of people say this is somewhere around the 1930's to 1960's. So, choose your favourite of those decades! If you were to ask me, I'd say the 50s-60s is where it's at, so that's what a lot of this is based on!

For a more masculine approach, check out sports coats, boldly coloured or patterned button-downs (this was also around the time Hawaiian shirts came into fashion!), Gaucho shirts were also big back in the day, which you can find more information on this article that I found pretty neat! From the waist down, look into trousers and, obviously, your iconique suspenders. Suspenders actually started to go out of fashion in the 50's, but the trousers stayed the same, keeping that wide-legged look people like so much about those decades. Though, in the 50's cuffed trousers were all the rage! As for shoes, consider chukka boots or penny loafers! Both of which are still popular and accessible to this day!

As for the feminine side of things, information is a lot more accessible, so I won't go on for too long, but I think the classic pencil skirt (in general, that shop I just linked has a BUNCH of really cool garments, I cannot recommend it enough), circle skirt (don't forget the petticoat!) make for great options if trousers aren't your style, and look stunning when worn with a blouse. As for full outfits, consider dresses (2) (there's so many styles you could go for, I can't possibly explore them all!), playsuits, and others!

As for general patterns, I think a blend between solid-coloured, neutral garments coupled with bombastic colours and patterns is what really makes the look. Look around thrift stores and fabric shops! Velvet, corduroy, furs, and knitted fabrics were popular, all of them with different use cases! As for patterns, perhaps consider argyle, as it's both classy and plays into your casino motif! You could also consider plaid, pinstripes, gingham and, of course, polka dots!

🌿⋅˚˖𓍢ִ໋ ACCESORIES !

OKAY! To keep up with the theme up to this point, I think taking into consideration ties, pocket squares, socks, belts (consider the belt buckle, too!), scarves, jewellery and sunglasses would be a very appropriate way to stay within the time period while adding a uniquely personal touch!

But, of course, not all of this should be historical. I'm taking this angle because I find it fun, and because it can be very inspiring to then translate it to modern garments (such as the colour and cut of what was popular back then). For more broadly applicable imagery, things related to playing cards (this includes the related symbols of hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs), poker chips, mushrooms, suns and desert flora/fauna could be fun for you to play with! All of them being nods to your two home nations.

🌿⋅˚˖𓍢ִ໋ KIN GEAR!

As per your request, I would be remiss not to include things that nod to/ emulate your wings! First and foremost, you have obvious options such as actual wings, but there's also more subtle accessories such as earrings, hair clips, patches, and, for something more eccentric, shoe wings!
