A Slight Change to Kara's New Suit That Really Fixes a Few Issues
To preface, I really enjoy Kara's new suit. I think I speak for just about everyone when I say that her scarf-cape is a unique and great part of her design. And now, we have the addition of one of Supergirl's most iconic design elements, which is her skirt. Having it be more romanesque in its design is a really unique take on her iconic skirt while also having it fit this rendition of the character.
However, I said I really enjoy it. I don’t love it. At first I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was turning me off. After thinking about it, I determined that it was the shoulders. I truly think that the red shoulders messes up this suit entirely. It creates an imbalance of red and blue, making the red feel overbearing. It disrupts the flow of the design by distracting your eyes back towards the shoulders. Finally, I believe it's also responsible for also making the skirt look worse; the yellow accents suddenly seemed to feel much more natural and pop way more once the shoulders were changed.
Of course, that's all just my two cents, and two cents isn't really worth all that much. So, let me know what you guys think!
Edit: Democracy has spoken! Census states that the main problem is just straight up the skirt, lol. Well, I've got nothing to say to that, totally fair!
Also, PPS: looking back at it, the way I titled this post directly implies that my opinion is somehow just objectively correct. Total horseshit and up my own ass too! Would change it if I could 🫤
