piece.

It's no secret that Lucio is deep down very, very insecure, and that he tries to make up for his feelings of inferiority by showing off. He does everything he can to have a good image and make others think of him as someone of value; he tries to convince everyone through looks, rather than through actions. However, this changes when Lucio feels more confident about himself… and how do we know this? Because of his physical aspect.

The original creators said (if I'm not mistaken) that when it comes to clothing, Lucio likes fur, leather and gold, as well as red and white colors.

When we first meet Lucio, he is dressed in white (a clean color that possibly makes him look proper and elegant), with lots of gold details and various jewels, luxurious furs (ermine?), and loads of medals. We don't really know where he got them or who gave them to him. He looks like he's saying 'hey, look at me. I am a good man, successful and valuable.'

In the reversed ending it's even worse. We see that he still chooses white, and he has an even more ostentatious look, with even more gold, and even more medals. What does this tell us? That if Lucio already felt insecure before, in the reversed ending the MC has further encouraged this defect of his. His value as a person comes from the things he has achieved (conquests, wealth) and the luxury he can boast of… he does not feel that he has intrinsic value as a person, he is only worth something if others think he is worth something.

What happens on the upright ending, on the other hand?

When Lucio grows as a person, he opts for more natural and comfortable clothes. He mainly wears leather and action clothes, forgoes all luxury items, and switches to red as his favorite color. He seems more relaxed, less concerned with how he looks and how others perceive him (even his hair, despite the fact that he still maintains his personal style, is more disheveled and unkempt).

Another curious detail is in his confession of love. The clothes he's wearing at that moment are somewhere in between (he's wearing red, with fur but not as luxurious as before, and he's still wearing gold), as a sign that he may end up falling either to the reversed side or to the upright side.
