How it works

These OC outfit ideas are whole outfits, head to foot, for an original character you draw. Each of the 150 comes with its colors and one note on drawing it. Press Pick 5 new outfits.

Read the full guide

Character outfit ideas by setting

The list under the button narrows the outfits to one setting: Modern everyday, School and uniform, Fantasy, Science fiction, Historical and workwear, or Stage and formal. Fantasy holds the clothing ideas for fantasy characters: a mage robe, a gambeson under a tabard, a fairy's petal skirt.

Then by cut

Open More filters under the same list for a second row: Skirts and dresses, Pants and shorts, Robes and coats. The outfits are sorted by setting and by cut, not by who wears them, so any of them can go on any character.

  • Change one piece to make the outfit theirs: a different hat, a missing glove, the wrong shoes.
  • The first words of each note are the colors. Swap in your character's own palette and keep the drawing note.

Questions and answers

What makes good clothing ideas for OCs?

An outfit that shows where the character lives and what they do all day. Start with the setting, then look for one worn or odd detail, such as a belt on its last hole or boots that are too big.

Are the outfits for male or female characters?

Either. No outfit is labeled for a gender. To leave out skirts and dresses, choose Pants and shorts or Robes and coats under More filters; 107 of the 150 outfits sit in those two cuts.

How is this different from the character design generator?

The character design generator deals a six-part brief in which the outfit is one line. This page holds outfits only, each a whole look chosen by setting and by cut.

Do the outfits use real brands or costumes?

No. Each outfit is written in plain garment words, with no brand, logo or costume from a film, a show or a game. The historical ones name garments of their period, checked against Wikipedia.
