Clothing in Tilenno

Clothing in Tilenno traditionally mostly consisted of a kaeles, a paera and mistei often accompagnied with qliká, often the kaeles and paera were combined into a krises. Most of these garments had different forms depending on region and status. Notably there was no difference in garments for men and for women safe from some undergarments.

Due to the stable and warm weather in Tilenno, clothing mostly came in no more than one layer, excluding undergarments, and rarely covered the full body. typically the abdomen area and the lower legs remained bare, although some garments existed that covered these parts of the body. Most paerá feature the typical Tilennan neckline, where a diamond is cut out around the centre of the chest, showing the pectoral muscles of men and parts of the breast for women.

While certain trends existed during different periods of history, mostly changing colours and silhouette, the core of garments has remained relatively unchanged for centuries. Not a lot of original clothing remains from early time periods, for which fashion historians mainly have to go off descriptions and artistic interpretations.

Modern Tilennan clothing and fashion only really exploded in the 1980s following the Osorra-Tilenno War and the subsequent influences from outside. Current fashion is a mix between variations on traditional garments with influences from Artemia like shoes, pants, suits and shirts.
