Jaeger is loosely based on 16th-18th Century Europe, and the fashions and technology of the era are therefore similar. There is a small element of gaslamp influence in style, but to go full steampunk is not appropriate for this setting.
Each nation on the continent has their own styles and fashions, but the joys of being a Jaeger is that you generally follow a uniform style of practicality rather than national influence. Whilst the fashions may extend to gaudy gowns and cravats for the few and simpler britches and aprons for the many, Jaeger wear dark, hard wearing clothing that allow them to easily hunt in any weather, under any conditions.
A Jaeger’s presence has been said to be imposing, often standing out against any crowd for their distinctive silhouettes that mark them as more than just your average commoner. Frivolity is not a necessity for a Jaeger, but most will have what others would consider a ‘socially acceptable’ form of dress for more formal events.
