How do I tag this?

Posted under Tags

How do I tag this loincloth-skirt depicted in post #4560113? It's on the character G-Earth Goddess (Ishiyumi) (the only shirtless, muscular person in the scene). Overall, the style seems similar to the loincloth-skirt worn by certain depictions of male Japanese gods (particularly Fuujin & Raijin), especially when paired together with a shimenawa sash.

Most external sources tend to describe those as a loincloth or loincloth-skirt (with the hyphen). But how do I tag it on Danbooru? Loincloth, sarong, or skirt? My first instinct is sarong, but some loincloth-skirts worn by 'tribal' characters seem to get the loincloth tag instead, such as seen for Hao here.

Yeah it looks more like a sarong to me

Need help tagging the hairstyle of the Princess character in post #4561865. French braid or crown braid?

Here's another view of the character's hair. Also this art on Twitter (yet unuploaded).

french braid, because it goes around the head horizontally rather than vertically.
Danbooru kinda uses french braid wrong, since it's supposed to start higher than what we usually use it for, but you can think of "crown braid" as basically the braid equivalent of a hairband. post #4556882, for example.

Ah. Thanks for the detailed clarification.

Edit: Speaking of, how do I tag that communicator wristwatch/bracelet thingy? Wristwatch is usually appropriate for these cases but that thing has a glowy X in front that rules out having a clockface or a digital display. Bracelet then?
