Many octopodes can change the color and pattern of their skin at will.
Our clothing and tattoos are but crude facsimiles of their capabilities. Cephalopods have no need of such frivolities.
“Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!”
They’d wear swimsuits, of course. Who wears skirts or pants in the water?
Why wouldn’t they just wear stylish hats?
Is that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxl or is it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl
Perfect. No notes.
Why the fuck would octopuses have to wear clothes?! Come to think of it… why do humans have to wear clothes?
If that’s the reason why are you doing it in summer?
If you say protection from sun, how about warm cloudy day?
wait - read your comment properly, but you can still get sunburned on a cloudy day.
Well, thousands of years ago my ancestors came into this place for some fucking reason, and noticed that being naked and hairless means you’re cold at almost all times, save for a few exceptionally warm days in the summer, and in summer, you’d get sunburn or skin cancer, and be covered in ticks and mosquito stings.
They decided to fix their furlessness by wearing the furs they got from the animals they ate, and later discovered spinning, weaving, and sewing. As time went on, being naked became a taboo, and thus people kept wearing clothes even in occasions that don’t require it.
And clothes do tend to have meaning beyond just protecting you from the cold and the sun and bugs. Style and social status.
You live in a warm place, I think

England would still force them to change into trousers on the mainland.
?
…when a Scot wearing a kilt travelled to the mainland, they’d have to change into trousers, There’s changerooms still standing along the coast…
That’s fucked up…
Or a coat of arms.
How do you gild things here?
Ain’t nobody got time to put 8 legs though 8 pant legs.
They would mostly wear hats.
Pants are a status symbol in octopus society. Custom tailored, and you have servants to help you put them on.
I think servants to help put them on are pretty much a necessity.
Maybe a tiny skirt on the arm that is a penis
They’d probably just wear socks or 80’s style leg warmers.
No they would wear an octuple of jeans.
Squiddly Diddly just Winnie The Pooed it
