Fashion check
A fashion check is a side-quest exclusive to Animal Crossing: New Leaf in which the player is required by Gracie to dress in a particular style. The player must meet Gracie's requirement by midnight on whatever day she appears at the Event Plaza. She will only start appearing at the Plaza once the player has obtained T.I.Y and spent enough Bells in the store.
There are a total of ten styles, which include Basic, Cute, Flashy, Historical, Iconic, Ornate, Modern, Rock and Roll, Official, and Sporty. It is mandatory for players to dress in a full outfit, or else they will not be accepted for a fashion check. A full outfit includes a shirt, pants, shoes, socks, and an accessory.
Players will pass the Fashion Check as long as they wear enough clothes which match the theme and none which clash with the theme. When a player passes the Fashion Check, they are usually rewarded with a piece of furniture or clothing, usually those which are exclusive to Gracie's store, GracieGrace. If players manage to pass the Fashion Check four times, Gracie will open GracieGrace in the player's town on the third floor of the T&T Emporium. Completing these fashion checks is therefore a requirement to obtain T&T Emporium.
