| I know theres a crap load of fashion styles (edo-era, sci-fi, mecha, modern-day, eruopean, etc.) For me, even though i love the skimpy one/two piece outfits of godannar or skimpy school girl clothing of ikki tousen, but i prefer modern day style of clothing. Stuff that i could actually wear and not be ashamed to wear or be called an otaku or something. Bleach has a very modern style and Tite Kubo seems to draw up a new outfit for every character in each chapter of the manga specifically Chad and Inoue's clothing. Speed grapher and Death note also has a really good clothing set IMO but im not gonna waste any more of your time! Start typing! also, just started watching Air Gear after work last night, i gotta say KICK A**!! I just really like their outfits so much i went and scooped up the first 4 mangas (@ $10/ea ACK!) this morning! And like bleach, Ito Oogure (aka Oh!Great) really likes to make a crapload of different outfits for each character. |

| I can't say that I really look at outfits that much. I think perhaps I'll have to pay more attention from now on. |
| I guess it will always depend on the anime concept. Whe can't expect somone from Berserk character to wear a collar shirt and trousers. Personally actually like to see unusual outfits. Original ones, that I haven't cross my eyes with over and over. I don't really imagine myself on them, I just want them to appeal my attetion. E.g. Tohsaka's outfit is a favourite, and also Archer's I loved most of fate's outfit's except for the main character. Hikaru no Go, shows a lot of outfits, main characters swap clothes lots of times. Using styles that an average teenager would wear... I love how Oda manages to come up with a eccentric/cool/unique outfit for every new character... I can't really pick one. |
     |
| Nayuki from Kanon is always wearing something awesome. Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya is always wearing various modes of moe (combat waitress, bunny suit, frog costume, seifuku, etc). Anything from Kyoto Animation displays good fashion sense. XD other than KyoAni, I know Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha has awesome costumes and stuff. And of course the Cardcaptor Sakura outfits from every episode. |
| Lupin the Third! I have a thing for retro stuff. mostly 70's and 80's. I think Jigen is stylin'. |

wildebeest0001 said: And of course the Cardcaptor Sakura outfits from every episode. Yeah, I definitely like Clamps styling especially Card Captor Sakura. I also liked Yuuko's style in xxxHOLiC. In addition, I really like Bleach's urban look, especially from all the scans. The girls from Shuffle also had some good style as well. But I'd have to say my favourite character's style was Eve from Black Cat, since she had a myriad of various outfits. Hmmm, I also generally like those various flight/mech suits :P. |
| I love most of the clothes in CLAMP anime/manga, especially xxxHOLiC and Tsubasa Chronicle (tsubasa especially, since every time they travel to a new world they get more cool clothes ^_^). Also, Nana has some awesome style. I constantly find myself thinking, "gee, I wish I had something like that..." (even though their clothes would look ridiculous on me...*sigh*) and also Death Note. Misa's clothes are adorable! Bleach has some style too. Though with bleach, I think it's the guys who seem to have the better clothes (hell, even I want some of Ichigo's outfits.....) Another memorable outfit is the coat and skirt Otonashi Saaya wore in Blood+. I just fell in love with it.....(it was the boots ^_^) |
 |
| i heard Paradise Kiss is a good display of fashionable characters but im still waiting for my copy to finish downloading is this true? |
| "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Red Garden displays a pretty unique fashion sense. Even though it's set in New York the girls wear pretty quirky clothes, which look good. I often find myself looking at their clothes and admiring them instead of concentrating on the plot. Peach Girl emphasizes fashion a lot. Though I can't really remember many of the clothes the characters wore and I can't find any pictures of the anime. I can't really think of a series which involves clothing in the story as much as Peach Girl. |
Anti Loli Association Sick of Lolis? Come join the ALA!  |
| Hmm don't think i've noticed the fashion too much =P |
Yeah, i liked LOVELESS's clothes xD |
 |
| *coughs* I pay attention to clothes a lot. I love Gundam SEED/Gundam SEED Destiny clothes. I want them. Now. |
| I think Paradise Kiss has great fashion style, well it should be since it's an anime that focus on fashion. |
Noelle_x3 said: Yeah, i liked LOVELESS's clothes xD mm, me too ^_^ |
|
| I like chi clothes from Chobits. This is kinda of embarrassing. |
saif said: I like chi clothes from Chobits. This is kinda of embarrassing. Awh;; all the outfits i see her in are adorable :3 She's a good one. |
|
Ceray said: I love Gundam SEED/Gundam SEED Destiny clothes. I want them. Now. Yay! Me too! I especially want Stellars dress! <3 Anyways, I think Ichigo from Bleach has a cool look. |
 |
| Hmm... fantasy-like clothing like umm... what they wear in Kyou Kara Maou's world (Shin Makoku, not Earth of course) and Juuni Kokuki's world. Modern fashion is always good too of course. :D |
 I like fashion style from Saiunkoku Monogatari... |
 |
I like the Yukatas from Ai Yori Aoshi.. and, uhm, the various forms of casual clothing from Maria in Hayate no Gotoku. As for the WORST fashion style -those are easier to remember- that I've ever seen in anime, the boys school uniforms in Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo. |
     |
| i dont remember any costumes that i would actually wear in real life tbh.Well ofc as u said DN had normal clothes and since Light was a model i think he suits were quite nice :D Now my favourite costumes are by far all the fate Stay Night except shirous.And when i say all i mean ALL.Rin(AWESOME) Archer(AWESOME) Saber(AWESOME) Rider(TOTAL HOTNESS) Sakura Illya Gilgamesh caster lancer... I mean they are al awesome :D Hmmm Now that i think of it i would love to have irl Clouds clothes and ESPECIALLY HIS HAIRCUT! |
 |
| I'm surprised NANA hasn't been mentioned yet. (and I assume Paradise Kiss belongs just by their relation, though I haven't seen it yet) Also, I think Bleach has a pretty good sense of style, but it doesn't show up much in the actual anime - moreso in the openings/endings and manga covers and extras and such. One Piece has good style, though not so much in the earlier episodes. Baccano is very stylish too, especially if you're into the whole prohibition gangster motif. And Samurai Champloo has a cool hip-hop-meets-ancient-Japan thing going that sometimes surfaces in fashion and not just music. And xxxHOLIC and Tsubasa Chronicle certainly deserve to be mentioned, even just for Yuuko. Others that might be worth mentioning: Eureka Seven, Lovely Complex... maybe a few more that I'm not remembering at present... |

sorairo said: I think Paradise Kiss has great fashion style, well it should be since it's an anime that focus on fashion. I think so too ^_^ And I like the outfits in Card Captor Sakura °_° |
| xxxHolic's Yuuko wins by a huge margin because she almost never wears the same outfit twice. |
| Eureka Seven and Burst Angel. Did you see Sei's swimsuit in episode 15? I almost passed out from the loss of blood. |
| for realistic fashion = parakiss, hands down. nana as well <3 (gotta love ai yazawa ;) ) for more obscure fashion, i have to say i love the outfits that clamp comes up with. personally, angelic layer had some of the most awesome outfits ever <3 really love them all. chobits had really awesome ones too, and so did ccs. |
| I love Escaflowne's fashion design. It has a great variety of apparel, from Dilandau's stylish black uniform to the nobles clothes of Allen, passing by Merle and Mr. Mole. :D |

Baccano! Thread over. |
  |
| Paradise Kiss is definitely up there for a high fashion look. But for day to day more... normal-ish looking clothes, I really liked how people in Lovely Complex dressed. I even liked their casual varsity-look school uniforms better than the traditional blazer type uniforms. |
  |
| Thread over? Hardly. I'm absolutely shocked that no one has said the one that jumped straight to mind for me; the goth loli battle royale that is Rozen Maiden. The doll clothes... were... GORGEOUS!!! Runner-ups for me are Super Gals!, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (barrier jackets FTW, especially in the case of the Knights), and Blood+ (Riku after Ep. 24... most handsome shota ever) |

BadSeafood said: Baccano! Thread over. heck yeah. Other fashion styles that stood out to me were the ones in Air Gear, Bleach, and the Negima manga (whenever they were wearing something other than their school uniforms). And I also like the fashion style of the Genshiken characters in this pic, though they never actually dress like that in the anime. xD |
| I agree with Paradise Kiss. The character's clothes show different kinds of trends. George, Yukari and Isabella are more European in style, while Arashi is punk and Miwako is lolita. I like the clothes in Nana better though, cause it's more current. I also like Red Garden, cause their clothes remind me of Sex and the City, specially Rachel's. I really like what she wore in the last episode. And of course, Lovely Complex. The clothes are so trendy, even their uniforms. |
| ^_^ |
| not terribly original but ouran high school host club did fine. casual clothes looked good and so did the school uni, minus the stupid yellow dress the girls wore |
 |
| Bleach, hands-down. Shinigami robes are badass, look even cooler in white. |
quitearush said: Shinigami robes are badass, look even cooler in white. I do agree there - the designs for the Arrancar (and particularly for Aizen and Gin) are just awesome. Also, I have to second the general opinion on Paradise Kiss - just started watching it tonight, and it's extremely stylish. I'm more fond of NANA still too, but it's definitely up there. |

Neverender said: Gurren Lagann. Ah yes. Simon's outfit was my favorite. |

I'm really surprised by the number of people mentioning Gurren Lagann. It did pretty well early on, but those damn glasses at the end killed it for me.  How can something that horrid get a nod for style? |
|
| Hayate no Gotoku! I always said I LOVE the fashion, mainly Nagi's clothes as it just denotes wealth. Gurren Lagann Like already mentioned in this thread couple times, it's soothing COOL! They're not afraid to wear futuristic themed outfits. The ganmens, even. Tsubasa Chronicle /other CLAMP show Like, who don't know about it? |

| I love the clothes of Stella(Gundam Seed Destiny)and Lacus(Gundam Seed),Illya and Saber's armor (Fate Stay Night),Sakura(Card Captor Sakura),Signum & Vita & Shamal & Hayate & Reinforce & Nanoha & Fate & Teana & Subaru & Carol & Erio (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha) and almost all female characters(Shining Tears X Wind ) . |

| ^Nanoha barrier jackets are always win Hayate no Gotoku, Tsubasa Chronicle, Utawarerumono appealed to me as well. Negima wins for some of the best school uniforms :3 |
| Does Paradise Kiss count ?? its after all a fashion anime |
 |
BadSeafood said: Baccano! Thread over. Anime with no fruity anime clothes wins. |
 |
| Tsubasa Chronicle was pretty well done in how it kept changing the clothing styles throughout, and giving a wide variety of styles depending on what world they were in. And then there's Rozen Maiden which has a fantastic gothic collection going on, not to mention the adorable characters that sit in them. Suigintou, Shinku, and Souseiseki would probably have to be my favorites there. Mmmm... Sky Girls... yea, you know the outfits I'm talking about. Classy. ^_^ To Heart gets an honorable mention for fashion, since it's school uniform seems to be one of the most recognizable of any anime. Don't ask why, a lot of people haven't even seen the show, but for some reason, everyone recognizes the uniform. It's so popular, it even found it's way into Lucky Star and countless other anime parodies. This is the uniform if you have no idea what I'm talking about, from a Lucky Star clip: |
