Customizing your trainer's appearance in Pokemon Scarlet allows players to express their individual style while exploring the Paldea region. While main outfits are tied to school uniforms, players can customize accessories like hats, footwear, and eyewear to create a distinct look. Understanding how the outfit menu works ensures you can quickly refresh your appearance whenever you visit a new town.
Opening the Outfit Customization Menu
To change your clothing in Pokemon Scarlet, press the Left D-Pad button on your controller at almost any point during gameplay. This opens the dedicated outfit menu where you can browse through all unlocked apparel items and accessories. Navigating this menu is straightforward, letting you preview adjustments on your character model before confirming your selection.
Selecting School Uniforms and Seasonal Styles
Pokemon Scarlet features four distinct school uniforms corresponding to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter seasons. You can select your preferred base uniform from the main category in the menu, which updates your overall clothing foundation. Choosing the right seasonal uniform sets the base theme for the rest of your accessory pairings.
Customizing Accessories and Footwear
Beyond the base uniform, players can equip various accessories such as socks, shoes, gloves, bags, and headwear. Towns across Paldea feature specialized clothing boutiques where you can purchase new colors and patterns using standard currency or LP. Equipping unique footwear and colorful backpacks adds personality to your overall trainer design.
Adjusting Facial Features and Eyewear
The customization menu also lets you adjust your trainer's physical appearance, including eye color, eyelash shapes, and hair accessories. You can equip stylish glasses or sunglasses purchased from local boutiques to complement your outfit. Combining custom eyewear with unique headwear provides a complete stylistic transformation for your character.
Saving Your Style Preferences
Once you are satisfied with your chosen outfit combination, press the Back button to apply the changes instantly. Your new look will appear immediately in the world, cutscenes, and multiplayer sessions with friends. You can return to the outfit menu anytime to swap styles whenever you discover new clothing items during your journey.
