Changing Appearance & Hairstyle

Just like previous Pokémon generations, players are able to customize their character's look in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. But changing your clothes in Scarlet and Violet is a little bit different than it was before—and one big change is that for the most part, you can't customize the main parts of your outfit. You can, however, select between a few uniforms and add accessories, and this article will teach you exactly how to do that, as well as where you can buy new clothes in Scarlet and Violet.

Things You Should Know

Play until you get your starter Pokémon and battle Nemona; you can't change your clothes before this point.
After battling Nemona, press left on the D-pad to open up the outfit menu.
Scroll through the options and press "X" to add or remove clothing items as you like.

You can't change your clothes in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet right away, but you don't have to progress very far to get the option. Play the main story until you get your starter Pokémon, and then battle Nemona.
This will bring up the outfit selection menu. After battling Nemona, you have the ability to change your clothes at any time as long as you're not in a battle or cutscene, and as long as a Pokémon isn't targeting you.

Some items can't be removed, like your school uniform, but you can change between different options. Most accessories, however, can be added or taken off.

A number of items can be purchased at the Kitakami Hall Stall or the Mossui Town Shop.

The only way to change your uniform is to get the DLC. With the Teal Mask DLC you get the Festival Jinbei (available in green, deep blue, white/gray, and flashy), and in the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC you get new versions of the spring, summer, autumn, and winter uniforms.
- In the Indigo Disk DLC, you'll eventually receive 4 more sets of clothes for the Blueberry Academy.
- Besides the regular Naranha/Uva uniforms, all other clothes are behind the DLC paywall.

Go to a salon to change your hair cut and color. There are a number of hair styles and colors you can choose from, but you can only change them at a salon. A haircut and color costs 3,000 PokéDollars.^{[3]
