It wasn’t until more recent Pokemon generations that the PC could be edited, let alone with such detail. Luckily, players can change their appearance almost anytime, so let’s go over how to change hairstyles and clothes inPokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Uniforms & Accessories
There are four uniform options based on the seasons:
The Summer option is what trainers start in, or they can pick a new one. The uniforms are a mixture of jackets, shorts, pants, and shirts that can be worn regardless of the weather. Unfortunately, trainers cannot change their pants and shirts individually as students, so they are limited to premade uniforms. However,accessories can be addedfor more customization.
Accessories include socks, shoes, gloves, glasses, hats, backpacks, and phone cases. Players are automatically gifted one of each at the beginning of the game, but others must be bought.
Visit The Shops in Mesagoza
Mesagoza isthe first big city introducedinScarlet & Violetand is a great spot to change hairstyles or purchase new accessories. It is also home to the academy where trainers start their journey. The city is circular and large, so sticking near the center area is the best option to avoid getting lost. There are all kinds of different shops, including restaurants, clothes stores, and a salon. Most places accept League Points (LP) or cash for goods and services.
The Salon
An important place to visit is the salon. It is the only way for players to change their hair, and it costs a pretty penny, so be prepared to pay $3000 for a hairstyling session. Hairstyling includes picking a new haircut and a color. There are more styles than at the beginning, so look through them to find the perfect look. None of the hair optionsare limited by gender, so players can get any short, long, or braided styles.
Clothing Stores
Multiple clothing stores offer various accessories or specialize in one. For example, there’s a shop for socks, glasses, backpacks, etc. Just looking around and visiting everywhere will lead to cool options. Everything bought can be put on immediately or accessed later from the Outfit menu.Rotom phone cases canbe obtained in two ways. The first is visiting a Delibird Presents store where they are sold. The second is finding the NPC on the staircase in Mesagoza near the streetlamp. They will gift one for having saved data from any of the following four Pokemon titles:
Once players venture outfurther they will find that Mesagoza isn’t the only place that has salons and accessory shops. Levincia to the East of Mesagoze and Cascarrafa to the West also have many clothing stores and salons to visit with even more options.
