Anaxi Fashion

The galdori in Anaxas wear expensive, lavish clothing with many layers, favoring embroidered silk and rich velvet. "The clothes make the man" is as much true for women as it is for men here. Both sexes wear high collars, often with silk neckties; the most fashionable women take cues from other cultures, commissioning their dresses with Hoxian, Bastian or Mugrobi designs. Asymmetry is trendy at the time; corsets that lace up on one side are often paired with elaborate kimonos to accentuate the "better" side of the body. Most galdori skirts are pencil-thin and fitted to the waist; puffier, wider skirts are usually only worn by commoners and children. Pointed tunics and aprons are often worn over top of skirts. Puffy sleeves are currently en vogue, but they are much smaller than those worn a decade ago.

Colorwise, women generally chose bright colors that match their eyes, hair, and jewelry. Jewel tones are very popular these days. Men tend to wear simpler clothing, with more severe colors - black, grey, red and white are popular. The only colors to be avoided are powder and cerulean blue, the color of servants and commoners (navy blue is generally acceptable). Green is a youthful color on both sexes, as it is the uniform color for Brunnhold student uniforms as well as the Seventen. Young girls and boys are often dressed in pastels.

High society ladies often try to outdo each other with elaborate costumes and hair styles.

Academic fashions are slightly simpler.

Male fashion is distinguished and refined. Most pants are pinstripe or plain black.

Brunnhold University Dress Code

Brunnhold uniforms are differentiated both by Lower and Upper Form status as well as by gender.

Lower Form Uniforms

Simple, easy uniforms of acceptable greens are worn by Lower Form students from the age of ten until fifteen, though even the youngest of students can wear clothing from their personal wardrobes outside of class times and on the nines and tens of the week when there are no classes at all.

Boys' lower form clothing consists of trousers, an undershirt, and a belted overcoat. In the summer months, a vest may be worn instead of the long-sleeved wool coat. Caps are expected for outdoor activities such as classes taking place in the Cloister or on the Field of Practical Application and during all physical education classes. Caps are not to be worn indoors, especially not in the Church of the Moon.

Girls' lower form clothing consists of tights, an undershirt, and a pinafore dress with a scalloped collar. In the summer months, a short-sleeved undershirt is available.

Hair for all children is expected to be well-cared for and clean. Lower Form uniforms are passed between students on a fairly regular basis—kept clean by Gated passives for a large number of growing young galdori, it is not uncommon to hand down uniforms to younger students not out of thriftiness on the part of galdorkind but simply to preserve well-respected craftsmanship.

Upper Form Uniforms

Upon choosing their focus and entering the Upper Form level of education, Brunnhold student uniforms change as well.

Young men are expected to wear trousers, undershirts, and coats throughout the school day, regardless of their class schedule. All buttons of the coat are expected to be buttoned, cuffs maintained, and belts properly fitting. In the colder months, a cape is available for extra warmth. Spats are never optional, considered a utilitarian and important part of the uniform. Caps are, however, optional regardless of the time of year.

A dirty or improperly worn uniform will earn the young galdor a demerit. Continued impropriety even between classes will most likely lead to detention.

Much like the Seventen, the collar of an upper form coat can be used for identifying pins—dueling league students, athletes, and other student organizations often make use of collar real estate with decorative announcements of the student's participation and rank in those things.

Hair for young men is expected to be well-kept at any length. Facial hair is allowed as young men mature, but it is always expected to be fashionably groomed.
