You said it was “for immersion.” You said it “fit the setting.” But we all know the truth: your character’s outfit is just what you wish you could wear if society, budget, practicality, and genetics weren’t holding you back. Let’s unpack this sartorial self-delusion.
The Flowing Robes and Arcane Accessories
You’re a wizard, sorcerer, or bard, and you dress like a Renaissance fair threw up on a crystal shop. You’ve got embroidered sleeves, enchanted jewelry, and a cloak that billows dramatically even when there’s no wind.
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be mysterious, powerful, and vaguely intimidating at brunch.
Real vibe: You own at least one velvet item and have Googled “how to make a staff look cool.”
The Full Plate Paladin Look
You’re covered in armour. Gleaming, impractical, and somehow always polished. You’ve got a tabard with your personal crest, a cape that never gets dirty, and boots that sound like judgement.
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be respected, feared, and slightly worshipped.
Real vibe: You wish you could wear a trench coat and get away with it.
The Leather-Clad Rogue Ensemble
You’re in head-to-toe black leather with buckles, daggers, and a hood that’s always up. You look like a Hot Topic assassin and smell like secrets. You didn’t dress for stealth… you dressed for drama.
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be cool, dangerous, hot, and emotionally unavailable.
Real vibe: You’ve practiced poses in the mirror and own at least one pair of fingerless gloves.
The Nature-Chic Druid/Ranger Look
You wear moss-colored layers, asymmetrical cloaks, and boots made of ethically sourced hide. You’ve got feathers, beads, and a belt pouch full of herbs you can’t identify. This doesn’t feel super-practical for combat, but slays for a forest-themed photoshoot.
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be earthy, mystical, and morally superior.
Real vibe: You’ve considered buying a linen tunic “just to see.”
The Bard’s Festival Fit
You’re dressed like a walking performance. Bright colors, impractical fabrics, and accessories that jingle. You’ve got scarves, sashes, and boots with a heel. You are thoroughly dressed for attention.
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be adored, envied, and inspire some degree of awe.
Real vibe: You’ve said “I could pull that off” about a corset.
The Warlock’s Goth Couture
You’re in dark robes, silver accents, and jewelry that looks cursed. You’ve got eyeliner, a book chained to your hip, and boots that scream “I have unresolved trauma.” You are dressed more for aesthetic suffering than for any real utility.
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be powerful, tragic, and misunderstood.
Real vibe: You’ve Googled “Victorian mourning fashion” unironically.
The Fighter’s Functional Fit
You wear practical armor, neutral tones, and gear that actually makes sense. You’ve got a sword, a shield, and no time for flair. you, sir, are dressed for efficiency.
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be competent, respected, and quite intimidating.
Real vibe: You own cargo pants and think they’re underrated.
The Tiefling’s Horny Haute Couture
You’re in leather, lace, and strategically placed cutouts. You’ve got horns, heels, and a tail that somehow has jewelry. Seduction and chaos are a type of combat, no?
Fantasy wardrobe: You want to be irresistible, dramatic, and morally flexible.
Real vibe: You’ve said “fashion is pain” while adjusting your cosplay.
