| Long, fitted suits are the only acceptable form of clothing for formal and social gatherings alike. The suits come down to the shin, typically to the feet for women and nearer to the knee for men. The sleeves of the suit are cut wide and flow down from the arm. Bells are sewn into the sleeves for clothing worn in times of celebration. The cloth of the torso is usually wrapped, cut in sweeping lines across the body. Sashes and scarves are worn and the quality of the sash is a strong social status symbol.

| The people of Yuanen are, genetically speaking, the most homogenous among [[Humans]] on Terra. This is due to strict marriage practices, in which young people are strongly discouraged from marrying foreigners, even descendants of colonists from such places as [[Naer]] which have strong cultural ties to Yuanen. The result is a lack of diversity in physical features. Skin tone is medium-light, while eye and hair color are invariably jet black. Physical build does vary a little, from medium to a slightly smaller build | The people of Yuanen are, genetically speaking, the most homogenous among [[Humans]] on Terra.
