Mail them the shirt you'd like them to wear! Make take a few tried but it normally works for me!

You can report it to Isabelle as a problematic citizen.

I've been trying to get kyle out of his stupid, pink Number four shirt for months that way, I've never had any luck.

A villager asked me what I thought about her shirt yesterday. I said it was plain (she was wearing the latest trend in my town) and next I saw her, she was wearing a design from Able.

I would've expected Isabelle would fix that, but I Brina's suggestion of mailing shirts will also work eventually.

Send the clothing before 5pm. Save and quit. TT or wait until over 5pm then check if the villager will change clothes. If not, quit to home menu. Don't save. Repeat the process. Load the game again then walk around. You can force them to change this way. When they finally do, save your game. Guaranteed to work 100%.

^^ Does that method also work with furniture?

Unfortunately, that only works for villagers wearing patterns. In an older game it worked for both store bought outfits and patterns.

If you mail them furniture, they will often display it. It should be to their taste though!

You can check what they like on Thonky. Look up "recommended gifts for Lucky" or whoever.

One guide I read said to mail 5 letters each with the same shirt which in my experience guarantees they'll wear it (and they'll put another of them on display in their house).
