The average Trojan wears a fresh white tunic and sandles.
More elegant Trojans will wear, well, more elegant and royal clothing and togas.
A minority wears blue jeans and black leather jackets.
The elderly usually wear suspenders...

For the Elves of Menelmacar, the clothing of choice is usually robes. A traditionalist item for our people, yes, though increasingly fashion designers have created extremely creative, elegant, and intricate variations on the concept. This is the case for both genders, though gowns also find favor with women. Menelmacari garments tend to be brightly covered and made from soft, fine materials. Almost everyone has a comm device, and most people of both genders also carry a weapon, usually a sword but often it might be a firearm instead or in addition.
Hair is usually worn long, and usually worn straight with a few braids, though elaborate and beautiful hairstyles worn 'down' are common. Some of the wealthy will braid strands of hand-cut gemstones into their hair. Other popular forms of jewelry include rings, necklaces, and armbands (worn above the elbow). The nobility tends also to favor circlets, and elaborate bejewelled brooches depicting the sigil of their House, usually worn over the heart. Earrings and anything requiring a piercing are quite rare.
Other outfits that find favor and are common (though not prevalent) include clothing based on military uniforms (the military is highly respected in Menelmacar), and Western businesswear and suits, particularly in the 'Babylon 5' and 'Shinra' styles.

Clothing styles in Wazzu vary by class and location.
The rich are typically found wearing a great variety of "costumes." Anything from 15th century BC to 30th sci-fi. The requirements are only that it be authentic (made as a real garment rather then a cheap knock-off), pleasing to the eye, and as different as possible from what everyone else is wearing.
The middle-class typically wear suits to work. On their own time, their clothing is typically specifically designed to reflect their life habbits. A mountain climber who is also into martial arts will pick something lightweight, tough, and flexible. A computer geek who likes fast cars might wear a (real) racing suit and a wearable computer. Of course, not everyone does this, but it is the fashion.
The poor are typically stuck with literal hand-me-downs. Wazzu's greatest industry is materials, so clothes typically wear out of fashion before they wear out. Such clothing goes cheap to the working class.
Those on Mars and Luna, or in space typically wear one-peice suits that when a sudden vacuum is encountered, tighten up against the body to provide direct pressure (and thereby prevent blood from boiling)...not that such accidents are common. Those on Venus tend towards typical Wazzu styles, as pressure suits aren't too usefull in a crushing 97 bar atmosphere.
The citizens of The Holy Empire of Odyseus wear corporate issued uniforms. As they recieve promotions in their corporation, they recieve better uniforms. Children wear Plain grey clothing until they become employed.
Buri's clothing is extremally diverse, the nobility usually wears elegant robes, and the rest of the principality wears clothing from every part of the world, as well as more "exotic" custom outfits made by Buri's many fashion designers.
