Why does everyone want to walk around in a damn dress?
I've never understood the whole "mages must wear robes" thing. Look, just because I can incinerate you with a thought, or turn you into a toad, doesn't mean that I'm not entitled to a pair of decent pants. Trousers, you know? The kind that you put on one leg at a time?
Now of course, there are benefits to wearing a robe, like extra airflow... but really, if you are a dude, think of the practical considerations. Are you going to hike up your skirt like a girl every time you need a jolly good whiz?
See, Zandalor, he has an excuse. He's a senior citizen whose sense of style has obviously been claimed by the advanced age and too many puffs of Drunadae. Just look at his hat, and you'll know that choosing to wear a robe is the least of his concerns. Plus, we'll probably never see him do a backflip (not that we want to; right? I mean, RIGHT?!?).
My fellow Dragon Knights, even if you do your battle with devastating magicks, and your weapons are nothing more than pretty decorations for your hands, I implore you: say NO to robes. They do not suit our, let's say, action-oriented method of dealing with this world's problems. Say YES to pants, if you are a dude, at least.
And, on the off-chance that you happen to be a dudette, say yes to body armor, knee-high boots, a thong and bare legs. Because 1) it looks hot; 2) this is a fantasy genre and 3) did I mention it looks hot?
Hell, that look could almost make me forgive you for repeatedly trying to get me killed. Almost...
