Early Arcer colonial dress was incredibly utilitarian in nature. Due to their placement as a colony, the dress of the larger Arcer people is a makeup of of several different cultures and styles. Regionally, there is also flavours and traditions that while rooted in a similar mix of Ardmori, Ængle, and Gaelic cultures, have their own nuances and distinctions that mark them as unique. These are most commonly associated across generations, status and income, as well as geographic location (ie. metropolitan fashion versus Arcer Heartland daily wear). | |||
Military uniforms in Arcerion are the closest to a single unifying form of national dress. The traditional red tunic or coat, black shako or tricorn hat (a bearskin for Guards regiments) and brass buttons adorned with Regimental insignia. Each regiment has its own distinct uniform, flashes, patches, cockades, buttons, or symbols that adorn their uniforms. There is a wide dispersion in the consistency of military dress uniforms across the army, from infantry, to cavalry, and the difference between Guards and Rifle regiments. The trenchoat was an Arcer invention, first issued to Arcer soldiers in the First Great War, has since become a fashion staple across Ixnay. | |||
Sporting or hunting dress in Arcerion varies wildly depending on socioeconomic or cultural class within Arcerion. Tweed and flannel sporting uniforms, with knee-high riding boots and twill caps are common for the upper classes in Arcerion and are particularly common in the [[Old Arcerion|Southern Metropole]], whereas this is contrasted heavily inland where hunting is seen more as a common man's recreational activity. In the Arcer Heartland, denim and camouflage hunt attire is considerably more popular, and in some cases is daily wear for members of the rural middle and lower class. | |||
Business and formal attire in Arcerion have similaratiies across all social and economic classes of the Arcer society, but have certain trends depending on cultural background. The suit and tie became popular in the early 20th century, and have remained as formal wear with some improvements to materials and colours over the following decades. Fashionable improvements such as mandarin collars or other forms of suits found in Alshar or Vallos are not generally worn and seen as outlandish by most Arcers. Dinner formal wear, in the military known as mess dress, is common in Arcer's Southern Metropole, and features short cut black tuxedos and stiff white shirts, as well as black bowties. Formal dinner dress is a staple in Arcer culture with a variety of social events, from dinners to formal concerts and weddings often making it a requirement. With formal dinner dress, honours and awards can be worn to adorn it, both military and civilian. There is in between versions of casual daily wear and formal dress, and this is typically signified by a bowler hat, a piece of an Ardmori dress, and later the top hat or flat cap. Formal dress for people of Gaelic descent will often involve a kilt or Gaelic short jacket, featuring the tartan of their clan or village. | |||
Ardmori immigrants, especially after the Ardmori Civil War and the mass migration of refugees in the 1930s through 1950s generally are considered to be more formaly dressed and adhere to 'Old World' fashion trends and styles of dress, whereas naturalized Arcers are considerably more relaxed in their daily dress. | |||
Modern Arcer fashion largely revolves around denim jeans, flannel or button-down shirts, and leather footwear (in the Arcer Heartland often cowboy boots). In cities and metropolitan areas, daily dress ca be similar to that of the Arcer Heartland, however slacks, polo shirts, and blazers are much more common for members of the middle class and upper class. | |||
