A recent poll asked the community to list their top three favorite clothing articles, and these are the results!
First, let's talk about pants. Much to my surprise, no one likes pants. Well, to be fair, one respondent answered pants! Perhaps this user will initiate a new trend of petzy leggings to open our minds to the possibilities. Until then, I suppose most petz will remain pantsless.

       I expected "Bows" and "Misc Headwear" to rate highly - and they did! As a community we do seem to like adorning our petz heads, and the sheer number of hexed bows makes it clear that they are a wardrobe staple. As for other headwear, I expected crowns to receive a higher response and hats a lesser one, so I wasn't prepared for the reverse!
       The low appeal of socks was not too shocking. It's rare to see petz with socks on! Neckwear on the other hand, was a bit unexpected. I do see petz wearing collars and scarves on occasion, but not so much that I would have expected them to place second for community faves!
       What do these results tell us? Headwear of any kind is popular in the community so it's a safe bet if you want to hex clothes for others. If you're hexing a pet, make sure it's capable of wearing all this wonderful headwear! Ask yourself, can this hex wear a hat? (I think there's stamp about that somewhere...) Otherwise, focus on some more neckwear, and maybe even some new kinds of shirts. There are tons of textures out there to make some fun shirts, and they're a quick article of clothing to make, especially if you're newly venturing into clothes hexing. Or perhaps you're ready to make pants the next big fashion statement in the community?

Need a laugh? You've come to the right Corner!
