Clothing

There are many styles worn by the people of Verseinia, ranging from conservative and traditional to liberal and modern.

Formal
Any formal event will be marked by the appearance of a nemsanca, a traditional outfit worn by men and women, although men's nemsancas typically only come in shades of gray and black. Nemsancas are a two or three part outfit depending on the level of formality desired.

For the bottoms, a heavy, cotton or wool skirt which drops to the ankles is wrapped around the waist, it should come up to your navel. The skirt may be plain or highly decorated based on personal preference. In more traditional skirts there are pleats all around the body, but more modern versions have flat aprons. Often, the skirt is secured with a bow on the hip. Sometimes, though usually much more traditional and rare, a contrasting band of fabric is added to the top of the skirt for decorative purposes.

The shirt is called a rosanca, it is fitted to the wearer to form a slim silhouette. The sleeves may be folded to above the elbow or left full length, usually the shirt is the same or similar color of the skirt when worn by men, or a complimenting color when worn by women. The collar is very minimal, just a thin lining around the neck. The third piece which is optional depending on the formality of the event is called a nemblanc. It's origins can be traced back to Sovereign Ashton I who petitioned his tailor to make for him a plain white covering for the shoulders to hide his bad dandruff. The design has since been modernized and although typically left plain white, many other colors and decorative motifs can be seen in today's nemsancas.

Casual
The street clothes of Verseinia are as diverse as the people, however most commonly you'll see business casual when exploring the cities. Verseinia has a large textiles industry and the majority of clothing is made of wool or some synthetic blend. Cotton is not as common as it doesn't grow in many places of Verseinia, however it is imported readily.

Religious
The majority of Verseinians are Diviniers and thus the religion has exerted its influences on the traditional outfits of the nation. The nemsanca stems from the robes worn by the priests of the Divine Church that are very similar, however the skirt and shirt are usually one piece. Priests also wear tabards to designate their rank within the church, with a simple belt to secure the tabard to the waist.

Sometimes you may see exceptionally devout diviniers wearing a headpiece called a cira, which resembles a fez. It is black with a white tassel on the top, usually braided and pinned to the back or side so as not to sway.

Military
The military has several unique uniforms to help the soldiers perform the duties given to them, however the ceremonial uniforms are often rather decorated. A common piece of any Verseinian uniform are the signature black leather boots. Ranging from mid calf to below the knee, these combat boots are standard issue to every soldier.

Rank insignia is found on the shoulders and on the left breast, as well armbands on the left arm of low ranks, and both arms of high ranks. When jackets are worn, the cuffs often have a unique rank-specific motif as well.

The typical camouflaged uniform is a navy blue and black digital camo called a battle uniform or BU for short. Of course, other colors and camouflages are worn as needed for security.
