Hi guys

I was hoping I can get some help on this, I have invented a imaginary world for the trilogy I'm working on at the moment and I'm having some difficulty trying to figure out what kind of clothing I should have people where, but I can't think of anything good? I was wondering if people could add their suggestions or maybe a link to a website that touches pone this topic, thanks again

Consider weather, resources/textiles available in that world, is there a status hierarchy, wealth/poverty etc

Have you tried drawing your characters? Even if, like me, you are not an artist, you might find that it helps - if you start with stick figures, you might find that the clothes automatically grow on top of them as you draw. It's fun to try, anyway!
