Pants and Skirts
Pants
Trousers, pants, leggings, and skirts may be colors from the primary or secondary colors for the appropriate faction. Trousers/pants/leggings should be opaque, including where the fabric stretches over the knees.
Trousers should sit at the waist (so any pockets present are not visible), and be of a relaxed fit. They should not blouse out excessively over the tops of the boots when tucked in. No visible logos or patterns are allowed. Denim is not an acceptable material for pants except for canon characters, where applicable. Athletic pants with a shiny finish are not an acceptable material for pants.
Skirts
Skirts should hang below the top of the boot and are allowed to extend up to the ankle. Skirts should not drag on the floor, as this presents a tripping hazard--ankle length is a safe length for choreography. Skirts should sit at the waist, and waistline should be covered by the obi.
Skirts may have up to two slits. The slits can be either on both sides, or on the front and the back between the legs. If the slits are on the sides, they can go no higher than low hip. If the slits are in the front and/or back, they must be low enough that the rear and crotch are still completely covered.
Skirts should be made of similar materials as that of the rest of the costume. Denim is not an acceptable material for skirts. When a skirt is worn, legs must be completely covered under the skirt by leggings, tights or pants. Colors for the leggings or pants may come from the primary or secondary colors for the appropriate faction. Leggings/Tights must be at least semi opaque—no skin may be shown under the skirt. Leggings worn under a skirt may be of ordinarily unapprovable fabrics; however, they cannot be shiny (i.e. no vinyl), or have visible patterns in the texture (i.e. corduroy). Leggings must be a solid color, with no visible logos, patterns, or holes.
