Line 1,430:
The ''cinturindo'' refers to the national costume for women on the archipelago. The two main pieces of the ''cinturindo'' is the ''carmicetta'' (blouse) and the ''avvostofa'' (skirt). The ''carmicetta'' is similarly designed to the ''camicia'' with a standing collar, full vertical opening with decorative buttons, and long-sleeved, however it is made of light material and is waist-length. ''Avvostofa'' is a long piece of cloth wrapped around the waist and held with a belt. To cover the intersection of the two garments are the ''cintras'', two belts made out of long pieces of cloths wrapped around the waist with the ending parts draped down the front, back, and sides of the wearer.
Hairstyle in Fortuna has remained consistent over the centuries. The general rule regarding hair is to keep it above the shoulders which is shared between both men and women. For men, tying their hair back is considered taboo within Fortunan communities, so shorter hairstyles are the most common such as buzz cuts or pronounced styles for those with thick hair. Facial hair is also commonly accepted, usually with either a trimmed full beard or an anchor beard. For women, they either have the option to cut their hair short, examples being a [[wikipedia:Bob cut|bob cut] or a [[wikipedia:Pixie cut|pixie cut]], or tie it back such as into a [[wikipedia:Bun (hairstyle)|bun]] or a [[wikipedia:Chignon (hairstyle)|chignon]].
Modern fashion would generally follow along with that of the Southeast and continue to maintain gender roles within Fortunan society. A shift towards more gender-neutral clothing would begin in Toscani as part of their focus to bring gender and species equality in the to the archipelago, although this only came in the form of normalizing women wearing what is considered masculine clothing such as trousers. The acceptance of androgynous styles became more normalized in Eridani Theta under Eldur Mironov, and its popularity would eventually spread to the rest of the Fortunan Archipelago during the Toscanan-Emilian War. During the 1970s, the aristocracy within Fortuna attempted to revive traditional clothing such as requiring women to wear ''avvostofas'', however this ultimately failed as the unitary-rationalist movement was gaining traction on the isles. As the UNP rose to power, the party adopted gender neutrality through clothing as part of their beliefs in creating a united society. Party members and political leaders share a similar uniform when out in public, consisting of green trousers and a green jacket with gold trim. For the general populace, androgynous clothing, although rather bland, has become the norm. More expressive styles are currently being experimented, mainly in IFC, however it continues to receive pushback from the more conservative and traditional government. The 2000s would see another revitalization of the traditionalist movement to restore old Fortunan values and traditions, mainly in the form of popularizing traditionalist clothing. The first clothing stores based around the selling of traditional Fortunan clothing were opened in 2007 and both ''pentalindo'' and ''cinturindo'' were declared as Fortuna's national costumes in 2010.
