It could be a semi-thing, where some people don feathers, while others don't. That way you wouldn't have to worry about making sure everyone has IG gear that have feathers while still allowing those who can wear feathered fear the choice. For hats... yeah, unless you had them tied to your head, woosh! There it goes. It definitely defeats the purpose.
The in touch with the wind was what I was trying to convey before.
If you want to go down the route of females being topless like males you could. Peeps would just have to use their imagination while having no top for said females, but not everyone is comfortable with that.
As for checking out female outfits, there's this nifty site that you can check out different gear. You can pick any race/gender. That should help you figure out what there is. Keep in mind you can't combind some gear with others, like DoH/DoL only with say, WAR only. -Shakes fist at SE-

I mean, if you really wanted to keep with the Gloom/special weather, instead of saying "haha they wanna bump uglies cause of x weather get them going"(that's how it came across) there could be a tradition that was ingrained in their cultural from years ago, like a frick ton of years ago where ya don't remember how it got start and if its true or not, where they go on a journey to said lands that have said weather and then make babies. I'm not sure if lore wise that could happen, cause Azim Steppe and the locations of the special weathers you chose are on the opposite side of the world. I also dunno what the timeline says as far as when the Au Ra traveled across the ocean. You might wanna do some digging and see about that. If it works, that could play into that "look at us" feel you want going for them, cause not only is it a long way to travel, but its dangerous. Or you can go with a cloudy night sky. It gets rid of all that "does this work" lore wise.
You could go for face paints/tattoo(it wont show in game, but imagination) if you wanted, or even dying hair. It could be combined with a main color of the tribe and a color from which is assigned to whatever weather they were born under. Its an option.
While it is possible for children to have a part of them that isn't like their parents, say blond, but both parents are brunet(maybe a grandparent was blond), I believe its rare. So yeah, it'd be unlikly. The representing would be a good way to go about that.
He looks cool. I like the colors you used, they work well together.
