Stoinian Fashion
The Stoinian Star Kingdom is a vast place and many different subcultures exists. Not only do all the different ethnicities have their own clothes, but the different subcultures as well. The many varieties just show how much the Stoinians differ in fashion. There isn't one type of Stoinian, instead it is a collection of people with a shared history. This is reflected in their fashion all across the Star Kingdom. From ethnic clothing to flashy revealing clothes, the taste of the Stoinians change wildly as their cities from the large Spire Cities to rural towns. Stoinians are often found fit as per their mandatory fitness programs in the schools. There they get their routine and many keep this routine well into their elderly years. Women are even opted to de regular exercises that enhance child birth and their female form. For that reason Stoinians might seem extremely fit compared to Terrans from other nations. Male Terrans often boast that Stoinian women are the most beautiful in the galaxy.

Classical
This fashion style is a remnant of ancient elegant Terran fashion. This style is mostly seen in central hubs which keep a strong tradition with old Terra. Because it is heavily associated with old Terra, it is also associated with the wealthy as they can permit to buy from the exclusive firms which sell these. Only few can permit to buy such luxuries. For that reason men wear business suits to show their wealth and their likely profession. Women are dressed more elegantly with special silks that are rare to find. Although these can get somewhat revealing, the main principle is that it should show the elegance of the female body. Shining shoes are the norm here as they reflect perfection. The colours most associated with this style are black and white with shades of grey. One should not expect to see this from day to day however as these suits are often kept for important gatherings such as balls, festivals and national festivities. The most notable places where these can be found are in the Core and Elysian Sector as their colonies hold a tighter grip with old Terra.

Modern Classical
Modern Classical is a response to Classical and imitates it while it is cheaper. It a feasibly alternative to Classical and is widely used within the corporate sectors as the norm. What the Classical was to old Terra, Modern Classical is to the Stoinians. It signifies elegance in both the male and female form. A well founded status is associated with this fashion style. Many politicians and corporate leaders are seen wearing these and are required to be seen a presentable. For that reason the colours most seen are darker or modest colours. Female clothing can also be revealing, but less so than Classical and again the emphasis is on the elegance of the female form. The style is often found all over the Star Kingdom as this is the go to dress for weddings and important festivities next to corporate affairs as well as in the tourist sector. Especially on sector capitals and trade hubs people are often seen wearing this style.

Nobility
The nobility of Stoinia has a special status as they are required to set an example to the rest. Be the leading people of their planets and their fashion reflects that. For that reason the males are often seen wearing militaristic uniforms full of ethnic motives associated with their respective planets. The head of a house often wears the sash of the house with all the different regalia, while other members wear a toned down version. Often they will carry a sword with them, it serves as both a ceremonial and practical weapon. Woman often wear elegant dresses to ascertain their femininity and elegance and be leading role model for the women on their planet. These uniform and dresses are often very expensive and require special care to make and maintain them. This combined with their status makes them the most exclusive style in the Star Kingdom. It goes without saying that only a select few on a planet wear these, thought hey can be found all over the Star Kingdom.

Ruffian
The Ruffian style originally came from Corillia as a result of people living in the outskirts of the Spire City they wished to show their own identity which combined some frontier elements and gave them a more technological look. Leather jackets are the norm for both sexes. Ponchos are also often seen as well. Boots as high to the knees are commonly seen, while skirts for females are rare and few in between. Often the Ruffian style is associated with gunslingers and people wearing this style often carry some sort of armament. Smugglers, tradesr, transport crew, bounty hunters and Spire Cities citizens are most commonly seen wearing these, though some outlanders in central areas can be seen wearing this as well. Corillia was the birthplace, but the style has since spread all over the Star Kingdom in Spire Cities and by richer people on frontier colonies. Nick O'Carr, the famed bounty hunter, is the most popular person of this style.

Frontier
Frontier worlds have taken a kin to the old wild west and have taken inspiration from it. It is therefore than men in the frontier world are often seen wearing frontier hat as they commonly ride animals, mostly horses and varachalls. Their boots bear spurs for this reason. Their vests are often made from animal skin like the rest of their clothes as they have a strong connection with them. This style served as an inspiration for Ruffian style and bears many similarities such as ponchos. Most men on the frontier are seen wearing these type of clothes if not for their ethnic clothes. It isn't uncommon to see women wear adapted clothes in the same trend, but most keep to their feminine dresses as they wish to show they are the civilization on the frontier worlds. New colonies with mixed ethnicities often converge on this style as there is no overlapping culture. Most of these colonies are either small industrial producers or farming worlds.

Ethnic
As many different colonies were founded with the goal of preserving old Terran ethnicities, especially during Traian the Great's reign, ethnic clothing regained popularity as it helped preserve cultures. However there are many different cultures and the wide variety cannot be categorized. There also isn't a defined region where this style can be found as ethnic planets are spread all over the Star Kingdom. This also applies to cultures which have been given new life from the dead. In ethnic sections of a city ethnic clothing can also be found, especially in ethnic restaurants in the Core Sector. Sometimes the ethnic clothing is preserved for certain ceremonies, though this all depends on the planet's own culture. It should also be noted that certain element of ethnic clothing can appear in other styles according to one's culture.

Streetwear
After the Velutarian War younger people wanted to brighten up their lives from the grey past. That's why they started to wear flashier clothes and as they hanged out on the streets, their fashion got that name. It is a cheap alternative for young people as other style can be quite expensive for their tasre. Young people are often seen wearing these at schools and in their free time. Ethnic element as well as other elements from different style have made their influence known, such as the poncho. This fashion also varies a lot as this is the most dynamic style out of all of them.

Kitsch
Kitsch came from the middle classes from the Tozorian Corridor. They wanted to show their extravaganza and chose asymmetric clothing. Males wear broad pants and often jackets which are oddly shaped. The women on the other hand try to be as revealing as possible and accentuate their female form. They wear skinny clothing which often barely fits their bodies just so they can show off their fit body. These clothes are made by exclusive brands originating from the Tozorian Corridor and has become widespread there and in the Tozorian Sector. However as Stoinia makes contact with different nations Kitsch is the most likely to adopt fashion aspect from other nations.

Tozorian Chique
Tozorian Chique is a response to Kitsch from the middle classes. Tozorian Chique originates from the wealthy elite youngsters from the Tozorian Corridor who like the middle class wanted to identify themselves through a new style. They went all out with their extravaganza. The males took the same asymmetric approach as in Kitsch, but their clothes are made out of the finest silk from the Star Kingdom. Boots from select brands are also worn which vary from dark to pink. Male pants are skinnier and made from luxurious materials which the middle class can't afford. Another common element, for both sexes, are coats made from fur. These coats are made by the rarest coats from species which are hunted by the most famed hunters all over the Star Kingdom. Flashy colours can also be seen here, especially in the female outfits. The female outfits are even more revealing than in Kitsch, but are made from even rarer silk. High heels are the norm here and skimpy dresses as well. Tozorian Chique also implements elements from different styles not because of ulterior reasons, but just for the looks. This style is almost exclusive to the wealthy in the Tozorian Corridor as other parts of the Star Kingdom see this style as decadent. Like Kitsch this style will likely take elements from aristocratic Terrans from other nations.

Note: the lady in silver should be ignored as there is no such thing as a silver skin in Stoinia.

Facial hair and make-up
Facial hair and make-up can often be seen in Stoinia. Men often change their facial hair style with the monarch and or their local nobility. As well as factors such as culture and religion play a role here. Around 50% of Stoinian men have beards and has become a symbol of masculinity. Depending on cultural norm men keep their beards or shave their face clean. In the military it is an undesratnding to shave as much as possible, unless you are a higher up, however this rule isn't enforced as not to infringe religious beliefs of soldiers. Make-up also has remained a symbol of femininity and no man has been seen wearing make-up for whatever reason. Women are opted to not wear make-up generally as to show their natural beauty as they are all fit. They are however expected to wear make-up on formal occasions or when trying to impress someone. Depending on the line of work this might be often or rare. Bartenders might want to look good, while soldiers have no need for such luxuries.

Cheunh
The Cheunh have become a part of Stoinian society and therefore their fashion has began to influence styles such as Kitsch and Tozorian Chique. Politicians and administrators wear toga like clothing from the softest silk in the Cheunh Ascendancy and it has become a symbol of power and commands respect in every Cheunh. As a symbol of power the Aristocra wears a half purple, half white Cheunh toga inspired by the Nova Romans. Female Cheunh of high status wear more exotic and revealing clothes as they used their sexuality as a tool to seek out the weak men and humiliate them for men were expected to act cold and remain steadfast at all times. As for the rest of the Cheunh they wear either military uniforms or day to day clothes which are similar to the Ruffian style, though more sleek and streamlined. This style largely remains only within the Cheunh Ascendancy, but has gained some traction with Terrans on joint colonies,
