What clothes would flying-people wear?
If there were people with wings, who didn't want to be naked all the time, what clothing could they wear, without it interfering with their flying?
Note: I am assuming arm-wings, like birds, but you can also answer how you think creatures with wings out of their backs and human arms might dress.
They'd want something that lets them flap their wings, and something that doesn't create drag or cause them to be blown off course.
What sort of clothing could they wear? Would be be something like a loose poncho? Or tight clothes that can't possible flap around in the wind?

Undergarments: I want to be properly supported while flying -- I would want a bra as supportive as a sports-bra, but it would need to clasp-on, like Hawkman's Harness.
I agree with @elimtilas on an Apron-style for shirt/dress, protecting the torso, and also allowing one to carry tools. (Pockets would all have ZIPPERS or other such fastenings.)
Pants/Skirts - can be any style, but probably on the tight side -- perhaps converts into something more flowing when on the ground.
Shoes -- if they kinda "float" whenever they want to maneuver on ground-level, then footwear may become purely decorative. But they could also be perhaps like a foot-helmet -- focused on minimizing impact with bad landings?
