Tips For Outfit Making

Hey Jammers! Making cute outfits in Animal Jam can be a struggle, especially with thousands, perhaps even millions, of possible combinations. Most Jammers, myself included, have struggled with how to put together the perfect outfit that is stylish and unique. I have some tips that I hope will help you in your endeavors!

Color Coordinating

While you may overlook it from time to time, making sure your colors don’t clash is actually key to the perfect outfit. I find that it’s best to do neutral colors for the body, like browns and grays, since they look good with just about anything. I then try to match the pattern and/or eye color to the items I’m wearing - that way there isn’t too much color going on, and you can clearly see the items in all their beauty. 

Using Unique Items

My favorite outfits are ones that stand out, but not in the chaotic sort of way. Outfits that really catch my eye are ones that use unique items, like maybe an exclusive promo, or something uncommon that you don’t see often, such as a cactus hat, or maybe some dizzy stars. Most people stick to things like spikes and top hats, completely skimming over items like these. However, I think some of them can look amazing with the right outfit!

Putting It All Together

Now for the moment you’ve been anxiously awaiting: creating the outfit. First, start by finding an item you really like. After you’ve got that, go ahead and try to find some matching items for the other parts of your animal. When you’re satisfied with that, move on to colors. Why do I recommend picking items first? Well, sometimes the item you want to use might not work with others, or you may find you have nothing to match at all! That’s why I find it easiest to play around with colors after I have all my items in order.
