Enclavees tend to favour simple designs and simple block colour schemes. A simple cloth symbol or tabard signifying group membership is somewhat common. |

The overall aesthetic for Obscura is fantasy with renaissance-era science. Dress can stretch to Victoriana, but anything more modern than mid-1800s should be avoided. Science is mostly focused around alchemy and biology, with physical sciences much less well developed, so steampunk or clockpunk elements are not really appropriate. The science aesthetic can be described as "da Vinci meets Frankenstein".
There are two major cultures in the known world, the Venucci and Enclaves. Even though Clare sits between these cultures, most inhabitants show a strong preference for one or the other in terms of dress and custom.
The ideal Venucci aesthetic is Renaissance or Victoriana, but “finer” fabrics, colourful schemes, and patterns are all signatures of Venucci styles. Try to avoid anything that looks more modern than mid-1800s.
