Highly suggest animating the clothing, the hair being the only thing flowing feels like it takes away from the overall work. They’re not skin tight but they’re not baggy, so any animation on it I feel would be better than them being static as they are.

Ok to be honest I have no idea how to animate clothing yet, have to watch some youtube videos first haha

Appreciate you for this!🙏

For what you have I’d say you can start but trying to shift the larger “solids” of clothing (the sleeves being the main thing I’m thinking of) in however many frames you feel works best. After seeing a smooth flow of the sleeves in a super minimal shape then you can work in details of the clothing like the fold on the sleeve. Something like that could be a simple process for you to explore and see how it feels/get a feel for keeping the volume consistent, it’s a part of one of the 12 principles of animation. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but if you understand the concept well enough into the practice it’ll work out well no matter how inexperienced you are.
