Editing Clothing

[[File:NH Clothing player.jpg|thumb|A player just finishing up setting their ensemble in {{NH|short|nolink}}.]]
'''Clothing''' is a category of items in the {{SER}}, consisting of types such as tops, bottoms, and accessories which allow the [[player]], as well as [[villagers]], to customize their appearance.

Several types of clothes are available in the series. Most clothes are obtainable from the botique [[Able Sisters]], but some are only available from certain [[events]] or from [[special character]]s such as [[Gracie]]. In addition, players can create custom [[design]]s and have them worn.

==Types of clothing==

===Tops===
:''"Top" redirects here. For the furniture item, see [[Item:Top (City Folk)]] and [[Item:Top (New Leaf)]].''
Tops are clothing typically worn between the neck and the waist. Available since the start of the series, the player and villagers are free to customize their tops, either from an item or from a custom-made design.

In {{PG|nolink}}, tops are the only articles of clothing available.

Prior to {{NL|short|nolink}}, only short-sleeved tops are available for players to wear, and a top worn by a female player extends to her knees, making it resemble a dress. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, there are three different types of tops: long-sleeved (commonly referred to as "shirts"), short-sleeved ("tees"), and sleeveless ("tanks"). In {{NH|short|nolink}}, this number increases to six: tank tops, short-sleeve tees, long-sleeve dress shirts, sweaters, hoodies, and coats.

Prior to {{NL|short|nolink}}, tops are the only type of clothing villagers can wear. Prior to {{NH|short|nolink}}, while villagers can wear any type of top they choose, the sleeves are "cut" so that they do not appear. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, these sleeves are no longer truncated. Additionally, prior to {{NH|short|nolink}}, [[sheep]] wear clothes as if they are scarves.

In {{PG|nolink}} and {{WW|short|nolink}}, tops that are displayed in a house or in a shop are depicted as long-sleeved. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, they are instead depicted as short-sleeved, similar to how they appear when worn by the player.

===Bottoms===
Bottoms are clothing worn between the waist and the knee. Prior to {{NL|short|nolink}}, it is not possible to customize the player's bottoms. That is to say, male players always wear gray shorts, while female players don't wear bottoms at all (they wear long tops). {{NL|short|nolink}} introduced three types of bottoms: shorts, pants, and skirts. More types of bottoms are introduced in {{NH|short|nolink}}, such as long skirts and three-quarter pants.

Villagers have never been able to wear bottoms at any point in the series.

In {{NL|short|nolink}}, [[Mabel]] will be surprised if a male player were to try on a skirt.

===Dress-up===
Dress-ups are clothing encompassing the top and the bottom. This type of clothing is introduced in {{NL|short|nolink}}, where they are known as dresses, and have either long, short, or no sleeves. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, there are six types: sleeveless dresses, short-sleeve dresses, long-sleeve dresses, round dresses, balloon-hem dresses, and robes.

Prior to {{HHD|short|nolink}}, villagers do not wear dresses. While it is possible to freely customize a villager's appearance in {{HHD|short|nolink}}, they will wear the dress as if it were a tank, similar to how they wear tops. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, the sleeves of the dress-ups that villagers would wear are no longer truncated, although the hems of certain dress-ups would either be slightly truncated or have their bottom half excluded to resemble tops instead.

In {{NL|short|nolink}}, Mabel will be surprised if a male player were to try on a feminine dress.

===Accessories and headwear===
Accessories refer to clothing worn on the player's face, while headwear refers to that worn on the player's head. Both items are introduced in {{WW|short|nolink}}. Glasses and feathers, for example, are considered accessories, whereas wigs and helmets are considered headgear. A player can wear an accessory and a piece of headgear at the same time, although it is possible that the headgear encompasses the entire head, such as some helmets. A player may also choose not to wear either.

In {{PG|nolink}}, the player wears a non-customizable, non-removable hat—a horned helmet for males, and a princess hat for females. The headgear's design is shared with the top the player is currently wearing. This has been changed starting in {{WW|short|nolink}}.

Prior to {{NL|short|nolink}}, villagers cannot wear accessories and headgear. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, there are some occasions where villagers may wear headgear, such as during [[Countdown]] or [[Halloween]]. In {{HHD|short|nolink}}, it is possible to freely customize a villager's appearance, making them wear headgear and accessories that are available, but only one at a time. Starting in {{PC|short|nolink}}, it is possible for villagers to wear both an accessory and headgear at the same time.

In {{NH|short|nolink}}, villagers can be seen wearing either, out of their own volition or due to special events or weather conditions. During the [[Fishing Tourney]], villagers will be wearing outdoor hats. In [[Countdown]], they will wear New Year's hats. When it is snowing in {{NH|short|nolink}}, they will wear knit caps.

Some villagers such as [[Kid Cat]] appear to bear headwear, although this is just part of their design, and making them wear headwear just places them on top of their heads. Others such as [[Raymond]], [[Audie]], or [[Jacques]] bear accessories or headwear from the start, and the player can choose to have them wear something else.

===Socks and shoes===
{{Main|Shoes}}
Socks and shoes are items worn on the player's feet. While the player wears footwear in all games, customization of footwear was introduced in {{CF|short|nolink}}, with sock and shoe items being introduced in {{NL|short|nolink}}.

In {{PG|nolink}} and {{WW|short|nolink}}, all male players wear green stockings with blue striped shoes, while all female players wear blue striped stockings and red shoes. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, [[Kicks]] can shine the player's shoes for 500 [[Bell]]s, changing their appearance. The player's socks also change in the process. Starting in {{NL|short|nolink}}, footwear are now available as items to purchase and wear. Since then, it is also possible for players to remove them entirely.

Villagers have never been able to wear footwear at any point in the series.

===Bags===
{{Main|Bag}}
Bags are wearable items that have been introduced in {{NH|short|nolink}}. They are worn at the player's back or hanging from the player's shoulder.

===Tote bags===
Tote bags are handheld items introduced in {{NH|short|nolink}}. Unlike bags, they are held instead of worn, so they cannot be seen when the player accesses the wardrobe.

Villagers can be seen holding tote bags occasionally.

===Umbrellas===
[[File:CF Villagers Umbrellas.jpg|thumb|Villagers using umbrellas in {{CF|short|nolink}}]]
Umbrellas are handheld items that the player may use anytime. Prior to {{NH|short|nolink}}, umbrellas are a way for players to modify their [[skin tone]], such that choosing to hold one under the sun will prevent them from getting a tan, while letting themselves exposed will cause their skin to darken.

Villagers have their own default umbrellas which they will use whenever it is raining, but they can also use umbrellas gifted to them by the player. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, they may wear umbrellas under the sun. Starting with {{NL|short|nolink}}, [[Frog (species)|frog]] villagers will never carry umbrellas.

Pressing <kbd>A</kbd> while holding the umbrella will cause it to spin.

===Wet suit===
{{Main|Wet Suit}}

Wet suits are special clothes that allow the player to go [[swimming]] to catch [[sea creatures]].

In {{NL|short|nolink}}, wearing a wet suit will cause the player's top and bottom, or dress, to be placed in their inventory. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, the wet suit can be put on and taken off without having their current clothes stashed away in their inventory.

Villagers cannot wear wet suits.

===Miscellaneous===
[[Flower]]s can be worn by the player as headwear starting in {{WW|short|nolink}}, although roses will be treated as accessories and are placed in the player's mouth. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, it is possible to wear a stack of flowers with the same effect as only wearing one, that is, with no visual distinction. Similarly, [[Festivale|Festivale feathers]] can be worn as headwear.

==Designs==
{{Main|Design}}
[[File:Tom Nook Tee NH Design.jpg|thumb|A custom design of a tee in {{NH|short|nolink}}.]]
Designs are a way for players to create custom articles of clothes. They can be designed with the help of [[Able Sisters]], through the game's menu, or through the [[NookPhone]] app. Players can share their designs by putting them up for display in their or another town's Able Sisters. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, designs can be shared through [[QR codes]], and in {{NH|short|nolink}}, by accessing the kiosk in their Able Sisters and downloading designs through there. A town's designs can also be shared in [[dream]]s.

[[Wendell]] also gives designs in {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}.

==Sources of clothes==
[[File:NHInsideAbleSisters.png|thumb|Able Sisters is the ubiquitous clothes shop that has appeared in every title of the series.]]

===Able Sisters===
{{Main|Able Sisters}}
The Able Sisters is a shop run by [[Mabel]] and [[Sable]] and has been present throughout the game series. In {{PG|nolink}}, the shop doesn't sell clothes nor umbrellas as items, but offers designs which the player can take and display. Since {{WW|short|nolink}}, they begin selling clothes and umbrellas as actual items, and continue to display designs for players to take and change.

In {{NL|short|nolink}}, the store is divided into two parts, where the main room is where Mabel and Sable offer tops, bottoms, and dresses, and Labelle's room is where [[Label|Labelle]] offers headgear, accessories, and umbrellas.

In {{NH|short|nolink}}, Able Sisters still offers the same services, except they no longer display umbrellas. Label also no longer works at the shop, but will occasionally visit the island to conduct a [[Fashion Check]], and in the following day, a random set of Labelle items will be available at Able Sisters.

===Gracie===
{{Main|Gracie|GracieGrace}}
Gracie is a fashion designer giraffe who specializes in expensive, high-end fashion. In {{PG|nolink}} and {{WW|short|nolink}}, she visits the town and offers the player special clothing when finishing her challenges. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, she opens up a store named [[GracieGrace]] which sells fashion and furniture for prices much higher than in Able Sisters. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, she will only set up GracieGrace after completing enough of her [[Fashion Check]]s.

===Kicks===
{{Main|Kicks|Kicks (shop)}}
Kicks is a skunk who specializes in footwear and bags. In {{CF|short|nolink}}, he can be found in the [[City]] where the player can choose to have their shoes "shined", that is, customized. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, he operates a shop named [[Kicks (shop)|Kicks]] where shoes and socks can be sold. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, he is a visitor who sets up shop in the [[Plaza]] who sells socks, shoes, bags, and tote bags.

===Town store===
{{Main|Tom Nook's store|Timmy and Tommy's store}}
The town store, managed either by [[Tom Nook]] or [[Timmy and Tommy]], is a shop present throughout the series. This is the only place where clothes can be bought in {{PG|nolink}}}, as Able Sisters only presents designs in this game. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, wet suits and umbrellas can be bought from here.

===Dump and Recycle Box===
{{Main|Dump|Recycle Box}}
The dump is a location in {{DnM}}, {{PG}}, and {{DnMe+}} where the player can drop off and find items. There is a 40% chance for clothing to spawn each day. The dump was replaced with the recycle box in subsequent games. In {{NH}}, there is a 45% chance of any item (clothing or not) to appear in the box each day, it is the only place in New Horizons where certain types of clothing such as the {{i|Shattered Glasses|NH}} and {{i|Moldy Dress|NH}} can be obtained. Items in the dump and recycling bin are free for the player to take. 

===Balloons===
{{Main|Balloon}}
Balloons occasionally float in the air carrying a present. In {{NH}}, balloons have a chance of carrying a random piece of clothing. The chances of it being clothing varies based on certain circumstances.

===Villagers===
Completing a quest such as [[hide-and-seek]] or any [[favor]] gives the player a chance to obtain a random piece of clothing from the villager as a reward. Villagers also have a chance of sending the player a clothing item as a gift through the mail each day. In {{NH}}, gifting a villager an item with a resale value of 250+ Bells will have a chance of the villager gifting the player a clothing item. Gifting a villager any item below 250 to 0 Bells will reward the player with nothing but the satisfaction of gifting the villager something. The chances of receiving a clothing item varies based on the current friendship level with the villager. Example; if the current friendship level with a villager is level 1-2, than the chances of receiving clothing or a furniture item is 100%. But if the friendship level is 5-6, that chance decreases to 15%. This is due to room being made to have a chance of obtaining wallpaper, furniture, or the villager's [[Photo]]. 

===Events===
Special events will feature some characters who offer special clothes unavailable anywhere else. For example, in the [[Bug-Off]] in {{NH|short|nolink}}, [[Flick]] may offer clothing items as prizes. In [[Shamrock Day]] in {{NL|short|nolink}}, [[Isabelle]] will give the player a Shamrock Hat in the Plaza.

In {{NH|short|nolink}}, [[Nook Shopping seasonal event|seasonal items]] may be bought from Nook Shopping. Several items have been added in [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history|the past updates]].

==Mechanics==
[[File:CF King Tut Mask Tripping.jpg|thumb|A player tripping when wearing the King Tut Mask in {{CF|short|nolink}}.]]
For the most part, wearing clothes yield no effect on the player's gameplay, save allowing customization. Villagers may comment on what the player is wearing, and may even gift them clothes that they believe would suit their attire. Villagers will also comment on what they are wearing and who gave them that piece.

Some events require the player to wear certain clothing. For example, it is not possible to scare villagers in [[Halloween]] in {{NL|short|nolink}} without wearing a full Halloween ensemble. Characters such as [[Gracie]] in {{NL|short|nolink}} or [[Label]] in {{NH|short|nolink}} will ask players to wear clothes with a set of criteria, and will reward the player if they have done so successfully.

On games that incorporate [[luck]], wearing certain articles of clothes will cause the player's gameplay to tilt in their favor. In addition, the King Tut Mask will cause the player to visibly trip when they run.
