High cohesion: The only major difference between the costumes is their color. If you were to take the costumes off the Cures and make them all the same color, it would be hard to tell which one belongs to which Cure. Examples: ''Yes! Pretty Cure 5, Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo!, Smile Pretty Cure!, Happiness Charge Pretty Cure!'' (normal costumes)

Medium cohesion: The costumes are about as similar as they are different. If you were to take the costumes off the cures and make them all the same color, you'd easily be able to tell them apart. However, they'd still have an aesthetic that groups them together. You'd look at a costume from that season and immediately think, "This costume is from that season." If you were to take a Cure from another season and plop her into the group, she wouldn't fit because her costume doesn't have the season's aesthetic. Examples: Fresh Pretty Cure!, ''Suite Pretty Cure♪, Doki Doki! Pretty Cure''

Low cohesion: The costumes are completely different from each other. Aside from the carry-case for the transformation item, there is nothing connecting them. If you were to take a Cure from another season and plop her into the group, she'd fit right in - or she would, if there was anything to fit into. Examples: Happiness Charge Pretty Cure! (alternate costumes), ''Go! Princess Pretty Cure, HUGtto! Pretty Cure''

Which of these groups do you think Star☆Twinkle will fall into? A lot of the more recent ones seem to be low cohesion, so I think that seems pretty likely, although I hope it has medium cohesion. I dunno why, but I really love when they have medium cohesion.
