How to Change Outfits in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Learn how to change your outfit in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. While uniform changes are limited, you can customize accessories like hats, shoes, and bags.

Hey there! So you want to switch up your look in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, huh? It's a common question, and while the game doesn't let you ditch the academy uniform entirely, there are still ways to add your personal flair. Let's dive into how you can customize your trainer's appearance!

Can you change your uniform?

Unfortunately, the main academy uniform is pretty much set in stone. You can't swap it out for something completely different. However, the game does give you four seasonal variations of the uniform. To switch between these, you'll need to press the [X] button (or your platform's equivalent) to access the menu where you can cycle through these different looks. It's a little disappointing compared to previous games, but we're hoping for updates that might add more options later on!

Customizing your accessories

The good news is that while the uniform is fixed, you can change a lot of other cool stuff! This is where you can really make your character stand out. You can swap out your hats, socks, shoes, gloves, and even your backpack. It might not seem like a lot, but these small changes can really make a difference in your overall style.

Where to buy new clothes

Ready to shop? Buying new clothing items is super simple and only requires the in-game currency, Pokédollars. You'll find clothing stores in pretty much every major town you visit across the Paldea region.
