Hairstyle boutique in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Galar features many different boutiques across its region, most of them found in themajor citiesthat also holdPokemon Gyms. Though, not all cities will have a boutique or hairstylist in town. On top of this, each boutique will have slightly a different range of clothing available to the player, making it necessary to explore each one in order to find the outfit that the player finds most appealing.

9Hair Style Options

While each boutique has a slightly different range of clothing, each hairstylist will have the exact same range of options no matter which city the player is in. However, the player can get more hairstyles if they have the Expansion Pass installed, which will add the following for males:

The female character has significantly more hairstyles than the male character and even more added hairstyles in the Expansion Pass split into four categories:

Wedgehurst Boutique in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Female characters also have a lot more makeup options than male characters, allowing the player to change the appearance of not only their eye color and eyebrow shape, but also lip color and eyelash shape as well, making them the preferred gender option if players are wanting to customize their characters with greater freedom.

8The Wedgehurst Boutique

The first boutique that players will come across is located in Wedgehurst, which is the only town that has a boutique but not a hairstylist. The options here are fairly cheap and standard, as is to be expected for a boutique in the first town. However, there are several Casual Tees available in Wedgehurst that aren’t available anywhere else, most notably the quite expensive:

Male-specific options include:

Female-specific options include:

The Wedgehurst boutique is one of the few that has items for every class of clothing, as there are several boutiques that won’t sell one particular kind of item.

7Motostoke Boutique

The Motostoke boutique has a handful of unique items once the player has obtained the Style Card, such as:

However, if players are looking to give their character more stripes than a Zebstrika, Motostoke has the clothing options to facilitate this in spades.

Hammerlocke boutique in Pokemon Sword & Shield

6Hammerlocke

Hammerlocke’s boutique is the first that players will come across with limited options, with no socks, shoes, or gloves available to buy at all. However, there are several options for players who want to dress as Team Yell if they have the Expansion Pass. The main draw of the Hammerlocke boutique for males includes:

With the Expansion Pass and the Style Card, males also have the option of purchasing:

Circhester boutique in Pokemon Sword & Shield

Once again, the female characters have an almost identical clothing choice to male characters, though there are several new options for female characters that includes:

Female characters also have additional options if they have the Style Card from the Isle of Armor expansion, which adds the following items to the boutique:

Wyndon boutique in Pokemon Sword & Shield

5Circhester

Seeing how Circhester is a much colder location, it makes sense that the outfits here are more suited to a colder climate. While the boutique does have heavy winter jackets and large, warm hats, if the player has the Style Card, they can also obtain more pieces of the Punk outfit, as well as a few pieces that allow the player to look like Chairman Rose. For males, the available options are:

With the Style Card, male characters also gain a large number of new clothing options, including:

Dojo outfit in the Isle of Armor

For female characters, the options are largely the same with the addition of a few more items:

With the Style Card, female characters will be able to purchase the same Punk outfits that the male counterparts can, though the additional Casual Tee design isn’t available. In its place, female characters can buy:

Gold Expedition uniform in the Crown Tundra

4Wyndon

Despite being the final boutique that players can use, the Wyndon boutique doesn’t have a lot of high price, unique options and is distinctly missing unique outfits like the Karate, Nurse, andKommo-Ostyle outfits that appeared inUltra Sun & Ultra Moon. However, Wyndon does have a handful of items that round out other outfit pieces found in previous boutiques.

If the player has the Style Card, male characters will be able to obtain a handful of items that allow them to dress as Chairman Rose as well as some other items that include:

For female characters, the Wyndon boutique has one of the larger varieties of clothing options available to the player that don’t cross over with the male counterparts, with items including:

Battle Tower Uniform in Pokemon Sword & Shield

While the Chairman Rose outfit pieces aren’t available to female characters, they do get a few additional options if players have the Style Card that allows them to purchase the following:

3Isle of Armor

The Isle of Armor doesn’t add a whole lot in the way of outfits, though it does give the player the Dojo outfit from the Master Dojo as well as several extra hairstyles, most notably the Man Bun. If the player completes theIsle of Armor Dex, they will also be gifted with the Replica Gold Crown along with a handful of useful items, while the fashion designer, found right next to the Pokedex lady, will give the player a whole new outfit if they pay him 3000.

2Crown Tundra

The Crown Tundra expansion adds a few new items to the game, the most notable of which is the Expedition Uniform, given to the player by Peony, and the Gold Expedition Uniform, which can be unlocked by finishing the three Legendary Clues that he gives to the player. Peonia also has a random chance to give the player either the Futuristic Monocle or Futuristic Shades, the former belonging to Ghetsis and the latter belonging to Lysandre, which she will give the player after they have completed someDynamax Adventuresruns. Finally, players can unlock more outfits through the fashion designer from the Isle of Armor if they have already received the first set from him.

After beating the Galarian Star Tournament at least once, talk to him in the Pokemon League building to receive a unique purple outfit, while talking to him again once Regielecki or Regidrago have been caught will grant the player one based on their respective designs. If Meltan or Melmetal has been transferred intoSword & Shieldor caught during a limited event, he will also give the player a Hex Nut hat based on their designs.

1Unlockable Uniforms

There are a handful of uniforms that the player doesn’t need to purchase to obtain, aside from those given during the Expansion Pass stories. The main unlockable outfits are the gym uniforms, some of which can also be bought from Pokemon gyms and cover the types that aren’t used by the respective gym leaders. If the player has taken part in Ranked Online battles, they will be given a neon-style outfit, while completing a run of the Battle Tower in any format will grant the player with a Battle Tower uniform.
