It recently occured to me that my new sorc might just keep wearing her starter rags for a very long time. They're not robes. They're not an outfit. Not that she could wear armor effectively, but they're not armor.
They're...well...clothes. Sort of. Medium length skirt and a top that doesn't look sweltering. Never mind the tears in the fabric. Never mind the dirty gray color, even.
More like this, please. Skirts & shirts/blouses. Trousers & shirts. Wouldn't take more than a few styles of relatively "normal" clothing, random colors that preferably don't look too horrible together. Similar to the way armors can have shoulder bits and whatnot that change, some of these could have buttons and others laces.
I know this has been beaten to death on the forums before. Doesn't mean it's any less valid now. You already have the rags type in - expand upon that a bit at a time. Make a harbor vendor that sells them, nonmagical types that is. Don't even bother making magical varieties, at least for the most part, at least at first.
If I have to bring someone beetles, moss, cryptworms and mushrooms to get this, I WILL.
