Also, I'm not sure if "‘long and fair’ hairstyles as well as the clean cut suits" would really apply as an older style of fashion in any of the three main city-states, never mind Ul'dah. Ishgardian nobles still wear those, and from dungeon drops it seems Sharlayan fashion is heavily based on that as well, so I'm unsure to whose past his clothes are an allusion to.
Thanks for the reply; I have already realized in hindsight that this format is not going to work terribly well on its own. I have been working on a better and  more clear summary for this, and it's almost done, but I currently don't have access to it.
On the terms the style, that's one of the things I needed to get a check on. I'm not exactly too well versed in all of the lore, general aristocracy of the world being one of my weaker places. Â I mostly went off of what I can remember seeing in Ul'dah, so I'll definitely have to fix that part.
Ul'dah is a city of merchants and thaumaturges, descended from the mage city of Belah'dia, so you'll find a lot more desert clothes and mage robes in its pasts thn clean-cut suits. There's nothing stopping your character from wearing them though, seeing that they exist and appear in several quests and NPCs.
