So if youโve looking to up your virtual style, check out our 3 favourite Animal Crossing fashion pieces to add to your digital wardrobe now.
Chanelโs Black Bow and Lace Dress
If you shut your eyes for a second, this look is basically like being transported back to Chanelโs 2016 A/W show. From the back bow, to the white lace and tiered construction, itโs an uncanny match. But first, you might be thinking, how do you even begin to create or download these outfits yourself? Just as the game allows players to customise their hair, interiors and even facial features, the same applies to clothes, with each player being able to access and use the gameโs pixel artwork feature to create custom clothing designs. If you have the time and patience, any real-world design is yours for the cloning, or to save on time, simply just use the available clothing QR codes, which allow you to download your favourite fashions in an instant.
Pradaโs Resort 2020 Pastel Skirt Set
Prada Resortโs 2020 collection was filled with floaty, flower-patterned pieces that are perfect for summer. Think lots of pastel hues and feminine embroideries that are elegant, but youthful at the same time. Luckily, itโs even easier to get your hands on one of these Prada dresses than in the real-life, simply go to the in-game "clothing shop" and search for "MO-L3X8-FWPL-9W7H" to download.
Christian Diorโs Striped Dress
With the weather getting hotter and the days getting longer, it only makes sense that most of us are craving more colourful pieces, and this Christian Dior Haute Couture dress ticks all the boxes. A style from the 2015 archives, itโs the perfect summer piece for those who find Pradaโs collection just a bit too girly. Just as chic as when it was first released, we love its block stripes, 60s-style shift cut and organ pleats that create texture and movement.
Moschinoโs Swimsuit Dress
Jeremy Scott always stays true to the playful spirit of fashion with tongue-in-cheek slogans and bold colour combinations and this one-piece dress is no exception. Just like many of the tongue-in-cheek references that run throughout Moschinoโs collections, this dress is made to look like a one-piece retro swimsuit - halterneck ties and all. Wear it to be the instant-envy of all your gaming friends.
