Chapter 145
The girls noticed that summer was right around the corner, as well as them being about to visit a desert. Because of that, they realized that their wardrobe wasn’t prepared for that, and they decided to go shopping together to get clothes that would fit the occasion.
“So, how are we going to approach this?” On the following day, while they were getting ready to leave, Sophia wanted to go over their plan again.
“As I mentioned yesterday, our best bet would be the capital," Ari answered her. “Not only does it have the most stores, but I also know about all the good ones!” She looked and sounded quite confident.
“Do not go against Ari when it comes to fashion.” Anna nodded a couple of times. “She’s on another level when it comes to that.”
“Do not go against Ari full stop.” The jaguar corrected her while slowly shaking her head.
“I wouldn’t go that far, no.” The princess disagreed with her correction.
“Hey!” She didn’t like that.
“That was a good one.” Sophia smiled at her fellow tiger. “Anyway, going to the capital sounds like a good plan. So does having Ari in charge of everything.”
“Let’s go!” As usual, Steph seemed very motivated.
“Yeah!” The other girls felt the same.
----------------
The group used a portal to get to their mansion in the capital and immediately headed over to the shopping district from there.
“Does everyone already have an idea of what they want?” Getting close to the first store, Ari, who was guiding them, got interested in their preferences.
“I want the lightest and skimpiest clothes that are socially acceptable in this world!” Steph was the first to reply. “Well, without it looking cheap, that is.” She still had some level of decency left.
“Well, it’s not my style, but the beastfolk is not overly judgy on that part.” Ari scratched her cheek. “After all, we have full and other individuals close to that who simply don't wear clothes in the first place. Although, as you're rather low on the animal scale, and especially fur scale, I’d at least advise wearing hotpants and a crop top that covers the essentials.”
“Sold!” The dog-girl already was a fan of the idea.
“Nice!” Chloe liked it, too.
“I’m not sure if that would be the right outfit for you.” The jaguar stared at the fox-girl. "You can wear many styles, and I'm envious of a lot of them because they don’t work on me, but I don’t know if a minimum-length crop top is a part of that list. At home, go for it. All of us would highly appreciate it, but it might be suboptimal for traveling, especially running around.”
“Oh, I know! I wasn’t going to get it for myself~.” The pink girl smiled at her. “I was looking forward to seeing Steph in it.”
“Ahh, fair enough!” She couldn’t blame her for that.
“That’s the third-biggest pervert for you.” Maya didn’t fail to hear what the jaguar said in the middle. “It would definitely be appreciated at home.” She agreed with her, too.
“Yes!” She wasn’t alone with that, either, and multiple girls nodded along.
“What do you mean, you would appreciate it?” Chloe tilted her head. “That’s pretty much all I’ve been wearing at home, anyway.”
“And we do appreciate it a lot!” The girls changed their wording.
"I love this group." Maya was deeply touched by how they unionized over the horny.
“Anyway,” The fox lightly rolled her eyes. “I think I’ll keep it easy with the shopping. I like my skirt, so I might stick with it, or get a similar one with lighter fabric. Same with my overknees, although I might get rid of them entirely. I have to switch to something like a thinner spaghetti top, though. Anything more will kill me during summer.”
“I can work with that~.” Ari nodded a couple of times. "There are multiple stores we can go to for that! What about everyone else?”
“No idea!” Sophia still seemed rather undecided. “I only know that it’s not going to be a skirt.”
"So, what about a pair of jeans?" The jaguar looked at her princess, who was currently wearing them.”
“Hmm.” Sophia stared at the legs of her fellow tiger, and also took a quick glance at her actual pants. “It looks great, but jeans tend to be a little stiff, especially when going really at it.”
“I can see that.” Ari scratched her cheek. “Baggy pants wouldn’t fit you, like, at all, so I’d advise heavily against them. I’d doubt you’d enjoy a dress, so… True to last year and some trusty shorts to match with your sister, too?”
“Let's match!” Steph liked the idea.
“Hmm, I like to look at hotpants, but I’m not sure if I’d be comfortable wearing them. I didn't overly like the shorts I had last year, but they sure were comfy. Speaking about jeans, denim shorts could work. Combined with a nice oversized and airy shirt, I would probably be happy.”
“Oh, that should look really cute on you!”
“Can I join in on the denim plan?” Anna looked at the blonde. “I’m not feeling the shorts life, but I would fancy something in the direction of a denim skirt.”
“Go for it!” Sophia gave her a thumbs up. “I look forward to seeing your legs in it.”
“I am not surprised.” The princess rolled her eyes. “I wonder if I should go for a slightly wider, though. Tight denim skirts tend to roll up when moving a lot. Seeing how we walk and run a lot, and me wanting to gain more endurance, it could be a little distracting.”
“I see this as an absolute win.” Steph seemed to be a fan of tight skirts.
“Both sisters are after me today, huh?” The tall tiger looked rather happy. “If Sophia is allowed to prioritize comfiness, I can do so, too!”
“Absolutely!” The blonde nodded in agreement.
“Like the others, in the top department, I’d like to get something airier and sportier. Though, I do need more support, so my options might be limited. Thanks to magic, there are no downsides to a more free approach for the girls, but having them sway around is quite distracting.”
"True." The girls were already distracted by the two girls on Anna.
“I sure am popular today.” The princess was flattered. “I like the stomach-free approach of the sisters, though not quite as radical as Steph. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with too much exposed while being outside. I think that look works better on shorter girls.”
“We should’ve gone shopping for summer clothes way sooner.” The jaguar was looking forward to seeing her girlfriend in such clothes. “The skirt should be easy to get in multiple shops. The top, hmm… I have an idea for a line of clothes that would suit you splendidly!” Ari smiled at her. “We might need to visit a shop focused on outdoors and adventurer-like clothes.”
“Sounds great!”
“I wanna go there, too!” The shorter tiger got interested, as well. “I feel like I could get my preferred set of clothes there, too, while also having them be more durable than regular fashion.”
“Ohh!” The little sister also perked up. After all, the two were the, by far, most sporty girls in the group, so they naturally got interested.
“Alright, I’ll guide you to the store and have you three fun in there.” Ari smiled at the trio before facing the cat-girl. “Maya, sporty or girly?”
“I’ll be joining you and Chloe~.” She understood that the jaguar was about to suggest that they should split up. "If we all stick together, it will take a week to get something for everyone. While I wouldn't mind a week-long shopping trip, I also know how that would end with this group.” She glanced at the rowdy ones around her.
“Do you already know what you want?” The jaguar continued to be curious about their tastes and looked at Maya.
“Pretty much!” She nodded. “I was thinking of something with a bit of a neckline to get some air to the girls.” Maya smirked at Anna, who made a similar comparison earlier. "I'm leaning towards a square neck, but I'm open to options. Maybe with a little lace trim for extra breathability and, of course, short sleeves. I’ll also stay true to the skirt life. Definitely a high-waist one, but I’m not quite sure about the style yet. Probably something in the accordion or pleated direction combined with a belt, though. I also need a new pair of boots while we’re at it.”
“We’re going to have so much fun!” Ari was glad that she wasn’t the only fashion enjoyer in the group.
“What about you?” The cat-girl threw the question back at her.
“I’ve been meaning to try out a vest for a long time already!” Her eyes started sparkling. "A sleeveless one, to be exact! I never was confident enough for it, though. I used to be quite shy, after all, and exposed shoulders, armpits, and maybe even a little bit of the side of my chest, doesn’t really go well with that character trait.”
“Confident Ari is the best!” The princess liked what she was hearing. “Summer is, too!” She, just like everyone else, had a thing for lightly dressed girls.
“Ahaha…” The jaguar scratched her cheek. “Other than that, I’ll join you in the skirt life once more.” She smiled at the cat-girl. "I was thinking of a mid-high waist but no belt. Probably not pleated this time, or at best, only lightly paneled. My favorite might be a plain old regular A-line. On top of that, I saw some adorable laced-up sandals the other day that I need.”
“That sounds lovely!”
“Ehehe~.” She was glad that Maya liked it.
“You two do remember that we’re traveling a lot, right?” Sophia stared at them. “At high speed more often than not, and all sorts of terrain.”
“We don’t care!” They didn’t care.
“Okay.” The blonde didn’t feel like saying any more.
“I’m not girly enough for this, can you please tell us where the outdoorsy fashion store is? I need something extra rugged after hearing all this!” Steph was becoming impatient.
Not wanting to make the dog wait even longer, Ari guided them to the store in question before they split up. Sophia, Steph, and Anna decided to look for something practical and airy, while Maya and Ari went for high fashion instead. Chloe joined the two because she also liked cute clothes, and her idea was a mix of cute and airy.

I'd say that the options are generally pretty similar unless it's clothes built around synthetic materials like most sportswear. Earth clothes may be more colorful, too (like prints and stuff). The biggest differences might be for footwear. Sneakers and most sporty shoes simply aren't a thing because the materials don't exist. Everything in the new world is basically leather/pelt/felt. Lots of good shoes can be made with that, especially boots, but it limits the variety a lot. Yeah, Ari would go crazy in a mall/big shopping center for clothes.

I wonder if they would be able to find anything better fitting back on earth, fashion seems fairly developed for the world, but I wonder if earth humans have more options :D mainly for Aris reaction to see the massive clothes supermarkets that we have...

If it comes to fashion, do not get against Ari when it comes to fashion
