Taraboner Appearances and Fashions In Tarabon, it is considered impolite to completely reveal one's face in public, except while eating or drinking. Both men and women wear a sheer veil across the face, and when a need for complete anonymity is required, they will often don masks as well. Taraboner men often have thick moustashes, and wear dark, cylindrical caps on their thick dark hair. Lords and common men alike wear baggy white trousers and coats embroidered with scrollwork on the shoulders. Lords' clothing is usually of finer material, silks or brocades, the embroidery done in threads of silver or gold. Underneath the coats, men usually wear loose-fitting shirts with embroidery across the chest. While noblewomen of Tarabon veil their faces, they do not believe in hiding their figures. Most wear clinging gowns of silk similar to those seen among the Domani. Common women usually wear simpler dresses, usually of linen or lightweight wool for the warmer climate. Women usually have light or dark hair, and almost all have dark eyes. Blue eyes or green eyes in Tarabon is a very unusual occurance. Women usually wear their hair in a multitude of thin braids, with colored beads of wood or glass at the ends, and wealthy women might even wear beads of crystal or semi-precious stones. These fashions have not changed overmuch with the arrival of the Seanchan, though some Taraboners have taken to wearing certain Seanchan styles in a mingling of the two cultures. This is especially prominent among those nobles who have sworn the Oaths and have been raised to the Blood among the Seanchan. See Also: Tarabon, Nations |
