Do you change villagers clothes?

[Milano]

Usually no but Flurry was gifted a grey bodysuit from one of my other villagers so now I've been giving her so many sweater gifts lol.

As someone who's an artist and loves having nice palettes, some of those default clothes on villagers are horrible and clash with their body colors extremely (or the patterns are just... not great), and I believe if their clothes actually complemented their colors they'd probably be liked more. I haven't gotten around to gifting my villagers much as I'm mostly focused on getting a more ideal roster and fixing up my island, but I do like giving them cute clothes and hope to eventually make more custom designs. I just wish they'd wear the stuff I gift them more often. I really want Avery to wear his cowboy hat 24/7

I give them all my reject clothes so... they aren't the most stylish villagers lol
I know some people are real picky but I think it's funny when they were something odd or even ugly, I gave Raymond some hideous sweater and it's hilarious seeing the uptight business cat where it occasionally haha

also sad that villagers almost never where head clothing you give them? Gave Dom a jesters hat he looked cute in but he never wears it

I change the villagers clothes so they can have more variety on what their wearing instead of wearing the same thing.

i've considered it but i keep forgetting to give them stuff, scoot has a football jersey he looks great in tho

Yes, which is why people stress when they are either buying or selling that a villager is original for top price. I thought my Beau was original, but sometimes he wears this ugly custom sweater that I Hate... RIP me

Oh that’s a bummer. Thanks for the reply. Is the same thing re : houses? Some people post looking for people to take their villager and then they want them back so they have their updated house. Some people say that works but a lot of people say they are stuck with the starter house. Do you happen to know? Sorry for the inquisition haha.

You are thinking about changing what Poncho wears, you say?

Sadly, I haven't seen him wear it

I like to give most of my villagers clothing and accessories! If I'm unsure about how something will look on them, I take them to the photo island and play dress up with them there first.

Thank you so much for sharing this idea!!! I honestly don’t know how I didn’t consider it before... this was the thing that was holding me back from gifting more clothing/wearables!

I change them all and I love it! It's so fun to me, I always try the outfits on in Harv's Island to make sure I really like how they look. They alternate between anything you give them and their default outfit--no matter how many outfits you give them. Their default seemingly never goes away. My villagers all look so cute in both their defaults and the outfits I've given them, and Punchy even wears two different crowns I gave him and it's the best.

 

[Blueskyy]

I haven’t really been but for some I would. Raymond I don’t really want to because I like him being all business. But someone crazy like Reneigh...sure lol

 

[kojuuro]

Yup! Sometimes it doesn't work out that well, but some look really good on them!

 

[Lotusblossom]

The only reason I wouldnt change there outfit is being thoughtful to the next person who i am going to sell them too.. If I'm not tryna sell my villager or give them away rather.. I'd they're my dreamy and staying for good I would deff dress em up they look cuter in all the other cute options

 

[Rosch]

I've only given 1 villager some clothes. I adopted Rolf from someone else and he's wearing something I don't like. So I'm trying to give him outfits that could potentially overwrite that person's clothes... I've only given him 2 jackets so far, and he still wears that suspender...

 

[Lotusblossom]

It's actually really fun and made me like the game a lot more

 

[Velo]

So far I only gave Dizzy a super cute mage robe, which he looks amazing in. I have the same one and I like to wear it and match him when he has his on.
I wanna give out more clothes, just haven't had enough opportunities to, I always forget to pull stuff from my storage.

 

[Vanillite]

I really like to give villagers accessories more than anything! They're so cute in little hats and whatnot! I gave my koala villager an outback hat LOL. Hans the Yeti wears a knit hat to keep him warm!

But then there's Knox and Sterling- My knight villagers. I don't want to change their clothing so that I can keep their aesthetic!

 

[N a t]

I like to give them clothing as presents but only when I find something that I think they'll look cute in!

 

[Aleigh]

I didn't like how they changed Pierce's wardrobe to that weird nerdy sweater vest so I've given him like twelve sports / workout shirts lmao

 

[Xara]

i don’t - i like for my villagers to have their original clothing aha
