⚫ | '''High fashion''' is generally seen on heavily populated worlds, where they can be quite garish, expensive, and are completely unfit for adventuring. High-end outfits are usually seen in high society gathering, while low-end out-fits are for clubbing. Fashion trends can change rapidly, so an outfit can be a fashion faux pas months after the styles was “in” – unless you travel out to the edge of the frontier, as fashion trends are a hodgepodge of second-hand styles. |

⚫ | '''[[Spacer]]s''' typically dress in highly utilitarian coveralls, which features many pockets, and insulates the wearer from harsh weather. Underneath the coveralls, they dress in tight-fitting full-body underwear to absorb perspiration. These undergarments allow them to slip out of their coveralls and quickly slip into a spacesuit in an emergency, and they are easy to clean. Its not unusual for Spacers to sport personal buttons and patches on their overalls, and the tight undergarments come in different styles, colors and patterns. |

They would dress in a wide-range of outfits, and decorate themselves in all sorts of accessories (pins and jewellery), cosmetics, and even body modifications (piercings and tattoos). Humans are generally modest, and one of the few races to have such a mindset. The minimum level if modesty in mixed company is loin-coverings, but paints and shirts are considered proper attire in polite company. The modesty regarding bare-chested females may vary from different times and cultures (but is always subject to the tastes of individual gaming groups). |
