Clothing is more decoration and identity than anything else to Cyantians. Now, they also DO wear clothing for protection, because they have heated homes, which means that when they do grow in winter coats, they are not thick enough to ward off the cold. They do NOT like being wet without anything on.
Bhunncloth is a favored type of bottom, much like a loincloth but with a clasp or strap of cloth to keep it down during movement, along with weights sewn into the hemline. They're loose and flowing, heavy enough to avoid any unpleasantness and very comfortabe for warm weather. It's very visible in the Sink or Swim comics. Most of the time though, they don't worry about their tails. The main problem with human style clothing is simply the legs. They can wear jeans without much irritation due to where the tail would come out naturally. A dip or cut in the jeans would work just as well with a belt strung over the tail to keep it in place. Rabbit and Mouse clothing often does not have tail holes.
Due to their hips being not quite the same design as humans, most clothing is held up by the shoulders, and belts are very often worn.
Quinn doesn't WEAR a bra. Most of them probably don't wear bras. Imagine how annoying those straps would get over fur. They have naturally firm breasts due to some extra cartilage and muscle which also keeps them from bouncing about too distractably even when they walk, so they don't really need one.
Technically, it's common to SEE a Cyantian running around with nothing on, male or female, not unusual at all and they won't stare, most won't. The main reason they wear clothing is identity, uniform, adornment and Avistarians do wear a lot less than the others.

Foot covering for the digitgrades is different than that for the plantigrades because they can't walk if their heels are covered by stiff materials. They usually leave the heel open and put pads on the feet when necessary. Gravity holds the flaps covering the foot in place, and the fabric is also thicker over the feet. There are little loops under the fabric for combining with pads for the foot if a lot of walking is going to be done.
