Spring:
Tumblr media
The time of year made for florals and frills. Layers for mixing and matching outfits that aren't worn all together again, and to be prepared for when the weather suddenly jumps/drops throughout the day. Probably when she feels safest and has the most fun experimenting with her clothes, playing with colour more than she does patterns. Chunky heels, light cardigans, yellows and blues. She wants to show off and play with outfits once all the coats are off. It's probably as close to maximalism as she's going to get.
Summer:
Tumblr media
The fashion is to wear clothes that are subtly detailed and highlight craftsmanship and money, rather than bold in patterns, which she does very well in the summer. Clothes, as well as details, have more of an air of elegance and subtly, allowing for accessories and jewelry to shine like sun hats, sheer shawls for modesty, thin gold necklaces and pearl earrings. Linens and cottons, fabrics that don't soak up sweat but are more difficult to maintain. It's all to a theme of natural, delicate beauty. She really struggles to shy away from showing off wealth in this season despite arguably wearing less.
Fall:
Tumblr media
Back to layering, but with much warmer tones, and layering done more quietly with more foundations like undershirts and leggings. Instead of playing with colours as much before, she plays with patterns and fabrics like ribbed cotton and wool. Hibiko doesn't especially love fall fashion, so she's not out here trying very hard to have as much fun with her outfits.
Earmuffs, gloves, and scarves, of which she owns a million, always have to be matching, if not fit the colour scheme of the day. Coats are in a wide range of styles from trench coats to ponchos and capes. But, she does what she can to get away from jackets by wearing thick shirts and sweaters.
Winter:
Tumblr media
It doesn't get especially freezing in Edo, so there's some freedom in that. The clothes aren't too far off from autumn for that reason, but of course has a heavier focus on warmth, and looking and feeling cozy. She doesn't have as many little things to play around with either since a coat tends to cover it all up anyways, so Hibiko's all the more particular about her coats, gloves, hats, all the accessories.
There can be a fair amount of fur-trimmed pieces on her from different kinds of animals, but it is only on her more favored pieces of clothing. It might create the illusion that she owns many (which, debatable) but it's really because she wears those especially often and doesn't take the involuntary sacrifice for granted.
