Line 90:
*** The Stark crown itself deserves mention. It's made from iron and bronze, rather than gold or silver. The idea is that gold and silver, while pretty, are weak. The Stark crown is made of tougher stuff, because to be King in the [[Grim Up North|North]], you need to be tough.
** The Braavosian nobles wear simple black clothes.
* In [[Belisarius Series]] Eon the Ethiopian prince dresses as simply as the situation requiresallows and arm wrestles with common soldiers. Shakuntala an Indian princess who comes from a dynasty far more obsessed with it's [[Ermine Cape Effect|crustiness]] is satisfied enough to not only take former prostitutes as her ladies-in-waiting(after all they had proved their loyalty to her) but to on occasion wherewear a suitably adapted version of their occupational clothing simply because it is more comfortable then court dress.
* After [[Honor Harrington]] gets ennobled on Grayson she starts wearing dresses, but due to her utilitarian nature from her military career tends towards very simple styles. Queen Elizabeth takes a liking to Honor's fashions, and - well, nobody argues with the Queen of Manticore.
** Given the description of the traditional unisex formal Manticoran court clothing (basically the result of a clown car colliding with a tuxedo), the simple dress is a huge improvement.
