Something I really appreciate about Bocchi the Rock is that, in a genre often dominated by school uniforms, each major character in Bocchi actually has a pretty distinct personal style.

Bocchi obviously wears her tracksuit almost all the time. Max comfort, minimal contouring, hiding from the world. It's her anxiety and her lack of fashion sense. She just doesn't feel comfortable when she wears anything else.

Nijika has a wide range of outfits, most of which I'd define as "girly but easy to move in." She's a capable, energetic girl who knows what she likes. Notably, her distinctive polka dot ribbon is included as an accessory in every single outfit.

Ryo wears what I'd honestly call "fancy nb fashion." She's from a rich family, and her clothes have a certain classy quality to them, they look more expensive than anyone else. She has a bit of a more gender neutral style.

Kita meanwhile is straight up femme maxxing. Super girly, always cute. Always ready for a selfie. She seems to put a lot of work into every single outfit.

The adults don't get much outfit variation, but they do all have their own distinct style. Seika looks stylish yet practical, while PA-san is a classic goth girl.

Over at Sick Hack, Kikuri's outfit is very distinctive, but a bit slovenly, as befits her character as the messy frontman of the band.

Shima is practical to the max, while Eliza, the weeb, is seen dressing in a very unusual, flashy way that (ironically) reminds me of anime characters.

These styles are all so distinctive. It all says so much about these characters. It's all so smart. I feel like you could use all of these as a basis to know exactly what kind of outfits each one would like and dislike.

i really love how your fondness for bugs shows in how you draw them. You always highlight their best features.

The secret to drawing bugs... is knowing that all their features are their best features

One thing I fear when I get a new PC and finally come back to FFXIV is that BLM will not be fun anymore.

What's the point if I can't scream MY STACKS when I delay my refresh just a second too long?

Symphogear sits at a really interesting intersection between a bunch of different genres. Taking influence from mahou shoujo, idol shows, tokusatsu, and mecha, all with some very clearly queer characters. I have no doubt there's a lot of people who got into it for one of these things and then came out the other side as a new fan of one of the others.
