Clothing and Appearance

Overview

Grand Theft Auto VI has detailed character appearance customization. Both protagonists Jason and Lucia have fully independent wardrobes and appearance options. Trailer 2 shows multiple distinct outfits across different scenes, confirming that clothing plays a significant visual role throughout the game. The August 2026 Extended Look added an in-field clothing wheel, and the Ultimate Edition names dedicated stores for clothes, hair and tattoos, all described below.

Clothing and Wardrobe

Players can dress both protagonists in a wide variety of outfits spanning shirts, jackets, pants, shorts, dresses, shoes, hats, sunglasses, watches, necklaces, and other accessories. Trailer footage shows Jason in tank tops, leather jackets, and casual beach attire, while Lucia appears in everything from a high-visibility community service vest to fitted dresses and streetwear. The Eris sportswear brand (a GTA-universe parody) is visible on character clothing in Trailer 2.

Fashion outlets across Vice City range from high-end designer stores to thrift shops and streetwear boutiques. The diversity of retail options reflects the cultural variety of Vice City's neighborhoods, from the upscale boutiques of Ocean Beach to more affordable options in areas like Little Cuba. Players can mix and match individual clothing items to create custom looks rather than selecting pre-built outfits.

One store has been named in Rockstar's own copy. Stock 305, listed among the Ultimate Edition contents, is described as the Stockyard district's premier destination for elevated streetwear, where Jason and Lucia can put together unique and exclusive looks.

Clothing Wheel and Disguises

The Extended Look showed that outfits can be changed in the field. The weapon wheel flips over to a second wheel of clothing and items, which was used on screen to put on a mask before a store robbery. Across the showcase Lucia's look changed repeatedly, taking in a skeleton-stitched leather jacket, a pink cocktail dress, a short blonde wig, a black bob and braids worked into a bun, with bandanas and face coverings selectable from the item wheel.

Clothing also matters to the police. Icons under the wanted meter track whether officers have identified a protagonist's clothing, and defeating a clothing-based identification requires a full outfit change. See Wanted System.

Cloth Physics

Trailer 2 demonstrates noticeably advanced cloth simulation. Jason's tank top creases and deforms realistically as he moves, and his chain necklace sways against his chest while riding a motorcycle. Lucia's high-visibility jacket crumples naturally during physical activity.

Hair and Grooming

Hair and facial hair change over time, and trailer footage shows Jason with multiple distinct hairstyles, including a buzz cut and longer styled hair, while Lucia also appears with different hairstyles in various scenes. Rockstar's Ultimate Edition copy names Sara's Unisex Salon, which offers signature salon styles for both protagonists, including facial hair for Jason and makeup and nails for Lucia. Previews of the Extended Look reported that changing a protagonist's hair at a barber also clears the physical description held by the police.

Tattoos and Body Art

Both Jason and Lucia have visible tattoos in trailer footage, and Jason's arm tattoos are prominent in multiple close-up shots. Rockstar's Ultimate Edition copy names the Electric Fang Tattoo parlor, described as Stockyard's most iconic ink bar, where more than 50 signature tattoos designed by the artist collective FAILE are available for both protagonists. See Character Customization for more on the collaboration.

Piercings and Accessories

Accessory customization extends beyond clothing to include jewelry, watches, sunglasses, and piercings. Trailer footage shows both protagonists wearing various accessories across different scenes. Jason is frequently shown wearing a chain necklace and sunglasses, while Lucia's appearance changes include different earring styles. The accessory system allows for fine-grained personalization of each character's look.

Body Physique

GTA VI has a body system in which character weight and muscle definition change based on player activities. Rockstar North's head of development has described it in interviews: eating badly adds weight and neglecting the gym costs muscle, and previews of the Extended Look reported that the protagonists' builds visibly respond to their eating and exercise habits. Trailer 2 shows Jason bench pressing 265 lbs at a beachside gym, and Lucia is shown hitting a punching bag in a training facility. Both scenes tie into the fitness and body mechanics system that visibly affects character appearance.

Weather-Appropriate Clothing

Vice City's subtropical climate and the game's weather system of rainstorms and heat waves make outfit choice partly practical as well as cosmetic. Masks, bandanas and other face coverings double as disguises during jobs, which is where the clothing wheel shown in the Extended Look comes in.
