If octopuses had to wear clothes, they'd probably just wear skirts or kilts instead of pants.

There is no suitable place for an Octopus to wear either pants or a skirt. Octopuses are almost entirely made of face. There is no torso, no waist, no lower body. We call the appendages around the mouth “arms” (not “legs”) but they are more analogous to prehensile whiskers. I think they would be more likely to wear a cap or headband. A balaclava would be interesting.

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.

I guess an octopus skirt is more like a poncho.

If you say protection from sun, how about warm cloudy day?

ceenote @lemmy.world Pants are a status symbol in octopus society. Custom tailored, and you have servants to help you put them on.

They'd wear four pairs of jeans and older octopuses would criticise them for sagging their waists.
