All pieces of clothing had to fit with each other as well as the armor. The color schemes are also important. We sort of wanted a unifying look for the different Dark Elven Houses. Now this doesn t mean that you will see everyone from House Telvanni running around in yellow jump suit, or even a shirt for that matter. We have a variety of clothing for each house that turns out to be very class dependent.
Common folk look, well, dirty and have very little color in their attire.
The middle class lackeys might be a bit better off to display how proud they are to belong to their House and will wear a shirt with some defining color or ornamentation. The rich folk that belong to any of the Houses will make all sorts of fashion mistakes. They will want to wear all of their finest clothes at once when they go to a party. Expect silk gloves and boots with fine bonemold armor at these shindigs, especially the Hlaalu ones. They have crazy ostentatious fashion ideas.
