[center]Maybe not the best title, but I think there needs to be a better apparel category system.
As of now, we have Head, Body, Wings, Legs, Tail, and Extras.
I think we could add/separate categories to help find what we need without actually knowing what we need. Or, better yet, add multiple categories for certain items.
For example, take the item Feathery Fallout;
[item=feathery fallout]
This is categorized as 'Head' apparel when the majority of this item is actually for the wings.
Also, Gem Trader;
[item=gem trader]
Is in the body category. Which is fair. But it also takes up a decent part of the wings too.
I think there should be able to be multiple categories for items that need it. When searching by category, it would appear in both.[rule]
Also, I think the categories should be expanded. Instead of just 'body', why not separate it to 'torso' and 'hips'? If I need pants, I have to scroll through all body apparel instead of just 'pant' or 'lower body' items.
I think these should be the categories;
Head
Neck
Torso
Hips
Tail
Legs
Arms
Wings
Extras (So, all floating items like Will o' the Embers, etc)
[i]*Companions[/i]
* Possibly? Includes all animal/creature apparel; IE: Ethereal Entourage, Horned Frog Companion, etc. Could be categorized in both companions + where it is on the body. (Ethereal Entourage categorized as 'companion' & 'head', and so on.)

The constant bombardment of magical energies can manifest themselves in odd ways on dragons caught in the fallout. Some mages recoil from such changes, while others embrace it. (Starfall Celebration 2020 Holiday Item)

Support, since I use the categories very frequently. I actually thought these items were already in multiple categories, and therefore, let's make it so.

This is a reminder to be patient with new players in the suggestions forum if they post something commonly suggested! The forum search isn't particularly outstanding or obvious.
Support. I find the apparel system so difficult to navigate as is, it would be great to have items labeled more specifically. Maybe add another category for animals, like the snakes or dogs? They're not quite the same as floating apparel like the petal falls, but you don't wear them like clothing

Support.. in fact, I actually made a mockup of an outfit made from head-class items that don't cover the head at all, but deleted it.
The Standards are head, but would be better as extras
Candles and some Grasps would be better as wing or extras
Lots of pet and fest apparel are also just bunged into head category
There's also inconsistencies, like the rings from the suit sets: half are leg, half are extras
...I could go on.
Support for more categories and for everything being sorted right. Support for literally anything that makes the dressing room better because it's hugely behind the rest of the site in quality but isn't scheduled to get a revamp for some reason

Yes please. I'm so sick of having to dig through gloves when I'm looking for shoes.
First of, thanks for the support guys! And all of your inputs!

I also like this! Maybe adding in an extra category like 'companions' maybe? This would include all animal/creature items.

Please, the neck category esp.!
"Waist" might be nicer name for "hips" tho?
Also this is a bit tangential but PLEASE let us type categoies in the search box. Currently if I only want to look at pants I have to somehow remember knickers, pantaloons, sage "sash", breeches, etc. etc.. Same goes with finding only necklaces.

I have no objection to this. As we get more apparel, it'll likely become necessary to further sub-divide them anyway just to keep them manageable.

If writers are supposed to "show not tell," why are we called "storytellers" and not "storyshow-ers"?

True, I can add te 'waist' in there c: Thanks for your suggestion!
Actually, this whole topic came up because of that exact reason xD I'm trying to dress my dragon and I needed some pants, but hardly any 'pant' apparel are actually named pants... LIKE???
I'm hoping by categorizing apparel properly, we can avoid situations like that. By using the category dropdown, selecting the category 'legs' will actually give us all pant items regardless o what their names are xD
