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.

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. You know... it's not like you can SEE anything when they're covered in feathers and fur. There are times that they do need clothing for protection. Shoes are one, although not always worn, they're useful over rough terrain or for longer walking/standing. Your average digitigrade Cyantian would rather sit, crouch or recline than stand, especially as they get older.
