To illustrate NiTe taste in fashion, I selected some pieces that could make up an ILI's `ideal wardrobe´. You'll find both male, female and unisex items. Let me know about your favorites, and please add more ILI-like suggestions if you want to (I'll probably post more later, too)
Here are some factors that I considered:
- unobtrusive colors, black is predominant
- past, present, and future are combined: conservative VS modern VS contemporary, creating a timeless look
- overall design can make the wearer seem unapproachable
- can be tight (emphasizing gauntness) and not 100% comfortable, although practicality plays a role
- pseudo-aggressiveness, concealing one's victim mindset (resulting in an emulation of fellow Gamma introtim ESI)
- minimalism, although there may be elaborate details when it suits the style
- dreamy or eerie, a bit out of place
- Se-seeking: materials that make a strong haptic impression on the person looking at it. The Se-seeking outfit of an IxI attracts indirect attention through some sort of `kinky´ undertone, which can be more or less subtle - an SxE will pick up on that either way.
- aloof, lack of playfulness. No witty prints or extremely eccentric cuts.
- meant to be worn over longer periods of time: sturdy fabrics, not adapted to current trends
- business, coldness > fun, warmth
- flexible in style, not entirely fixated on one theme
- portrayal of an archetype, sometimes without intention
- self-assured vibe, a lot of clothing in this wardrobe suggests competence
- can radiate an aura of superiority/exclusiveness, but not in a bold Fe-Se Beta way
- a paradox of not being experimental yet innovative
- an overload of mixed materials is avoided, overall coherence is important
