Maedhros: I talk a lot about Maedhros and Himring´s fashion here - black is an expensive colour to produce, which is why I think it is sought after, with white, in Himring, since it is dark most year round, most residents pick one other colour that stands out, Maedhros here choosing the colour of his house, since Himring is hostile for a lot of plants, botanical embroidery and jewelry are a status symbol. The clothes are shorter than other Noldor clothes to better move through snow.

Maglor: Maglor, as a bard, can wear longer, more impractical clothes in his day-to-day. Clothes from The Gap have a less dramatic shape and usually lighter colours than clothes for Himring, as well as a division between colours, thus, Maglor wears red, grey blue, and yellow.

Celegorm: As a hunter of Himlad, Celegorm doesn´t really dress up in Noldor court robes, and instead ends up with something between the Sindar and the Hunt of Oromë. He wears grey clothes in different shades with plant motifs on them to better blend in, and the clothes is cut so as not to restrict his movement on foot or horse.

Caranthir: I HC Caranthir as the richest of the brothers, which is also why he has so much jewelry, and so many textile techniques in his clothes - his clothes are meant to look heavy, and mirror Thargelion's wooden climate, with the bear fur, and dark colours.

Curufin: Curufin´s clothes are very clothes to Nargothrond style, but a bit even in the cut, with more layers visible. He is wearing a lot of contrasting colours in his clothes, as well as jewelry that is both silver and gold, to stand out.

Amras: I like to think the Ambarussa was spending a lot of time hunting in their youth in Valinor, but when coming to Beleriand, only Amras kept on exploring the wild and made friends with many of the Avari, which is what his outfit is inspired by, a mix of Avari clothes and Noldor.
