How do you change your villager's clothes?

I know it has something to do with mailing them what you'd rather they wear, right? It's just that, Penelope, Francine, and Julian are all wearing an imperial shirt and it looks hideous on all of them, especially Julian. I usually don't worry about what my villagers wear but, honestly, I feel like there's some kind of Imperial Shirt Cult that's happening in my town.

I usually buy shirts (2-4 depending on how ugly the shirt they're wearing is lol) that the Thonky website lists as what they'd want to receive on their birthday then attach each shirt to a letter where I write about how they should "wear the shirt ASAP pls ily." If they're a villager like Fang who likes displaying 4(!!!) shirts at a time, it proves to be a more difficult task.

Also, they must be forming a cult lol I've had 3 villagers wear the No. 1 shirt. When they're skipping around town singing after the convo that involves the clothing change it haunts me.

Makes sense. I'll see what I can do tomorrow when my shops actually diddly-darn open.

Here's what I do, and it's worked 9 times out of 10. The one time it didn't work, it was that animals bday, but I can't understand why I didn't work. Oh well.

Buy FIVE of the same shirt. This shirt doesnt have to be their fav style either.

Mail them the five shirts in five letters all in one go.

If you mail them the shirt before 5pm, once they get their mail at 5, you can see then wear it.

Bam! Now they're wearing the shirt you sent them.
However they will display 2 or 3 of the extra shirts in their house, but they get rid of them pretty quick. This method has worked for me every single time I've done it except that one random weird time.

Yes
I like them to wear fancy outfits. The men?s/woman?s recruit shirt looks sooooo cute on most of my villagers!
Send them a couple of letters with the item you want until they change into it. Also if you carry it around in your pocket they might also ask and change right away.

Go to the town hall and tell Isabelle one of your villagers is causing trouble, and from there you can have Isabelle ask them to change their clothes.

That's only effective for designs. It's for villagers you may have picked up from the void or another town who wear vulgar designs/vulgar catchphrases or keep showing you an in appropriate letter. If you say their shirt is rude, they change back in their default clothes.

Oh okay, my mistake.
