17. Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress
I think Lumina mostly keeps it simple, with a kind of 'personal uniform' that consists of tea-length skirts or dresses, structured but comfortable blouses, and sensible shoes (I'm guessing a lot of Threes do this sort of thing, to cut down on having to think too much about appearance--just find what works or makes her comfortable, and go with it). She's a big fan of soft, natural fibers. By her forties, she has to start wearing glasses, and settles all her whimsy there, with a pair of half-moon specs with shiny metallic rims that become her trademark (if she can be said to have one). No make-up (preferred) or at most a 'natural' look (in the Capitol).
Being an early victor, I don't think she had to deal with too much pressure to have a 'complicated' or sexy look--by the time things were getting elaborate, she was already past the age most of the Capitol would care, and her victory wasn't memorable, so she doesn't get dragged out for commentary or color (which of course suits her just fine).
Hey Lor--I mean, Kawuli! No probs. Lots of people use tea length to mean below the knee but above the ankle, but most typically, it means around mid-calf. They're extremely comfortable to wear because you don't need to worry about accidentally flashing anyone (usually) but you also won't trip on anything.
Yeah, I tend to think any of the early victors who had particularly wild looks had them more due to their own personal inclinations than outside pressures. I think Lumina's sedate-ness is cute ^^
