+Bolians are very cosmopolitan people that wear a variety of clothing and styles from across known space. For formal events where a traditional appearance is desired, Bolians will wear a frock coat in a style with what Humans would call a Nehru collar. It would be worn with loose pants in a complimentary color and elegant sandals. Being water people, the pants are loose so that they may be easily rolled up if near the water. Bolians will wear any kind of shoe but the most authentic appearance will always be sandals, as many Bolian events take place near the water. No traditional Bolian outfit would have close-toed shoes. {{SimRef | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-arrow/c/d1EjYmrGXMY | CHARACTERS=LT(jg) Zenno | SIMTITLE=Fretting and Flustered Fashion Affair | SHIP=[[USS Arrow]] }}

The exact look of these stoles varies frequently as a fashion trend. Sometimes they are longer or shorter, thicker or thinner. They may or may not have a fringe or piping. The current trend changes all the time.
