I'm writing a story in a fantasy setting, where there are characters who dress with ancient Egyptian type clothing - such as haram pant and usekh collars. Since the story is a fantasy and not set in the real historical Egypt, should I call them by their proper names? I can't find a comfortable way to describe such particular dress pieces without it seeming forced or unnatural.
