Introduction
The visual is one of the most important parts of animation, after all, it is what differentiates it from reading a book. It's no surprise that the most memorable-looking characters are also some of the most popular.
Today we are here to discuss some of the characters that we believe dress best in anime, whether because they have an extensive wardrobe or because they have such a stylish design that they deserve a place on this list.
Clothes and characters
Each mangaka has their own ways of expressing the personality of their protagonists and supporting characters and because of this, some animes have SEVERAL character styles, because of this and to value diversity, we chose to limit ourselves to one character per anime (except for the Demon Slayer brothers).

Gojo
It's to no one's surprise that our blue-eyed king finds himself on this list. Gojo is stylish, handsome, strong and funny. Although his base outfit isn't very inspiring, looking like a Kakashi cosplay, Gojo really shines when he's not in his “uniform”.
Her small glasses highlight perfectly her face and eyes, and what's more, the rest of her clothes better represent her lifestyle.
We also know that Satoru has a taste for quality clothing, which can be seen when his students spill coffee on one of his blouses and freak out when they discover the price.
In any case, Gojo is seen as a stylish stud inside and outside his universe, with Gege Akutami commenting that he is a chicken, and we can also see the reaction of the women in the second season upon meeting him. Despite all of this, I wanted to say that my personal choice would have been Suguru Geto, but you guys aren't ready for that conversation.

Jotaro
This part is dedicated to basically the entire Jojo anime, we just chose Jotaro because he is the most recognizable Joestar, in addition to having an extremely iconic outfit. The unmistakable hat that blends into his hair, the long coat with its chain and the fearless manner of Jotaro Kujo make him stand out among anime protagonists.

The fashion design in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is always innovative and bold, reflecting the characters' personality and bravery. Every piece Jotaro wears, from his golden chains to his bracelets, adds a layer of mystery and charm to his already impressive look. In fact, Araki, the author of Jojo, was so recognized for his work that he had an exhibition at the Louvre.
Stark
This might be the character that surprises the most people, but, as the author of the article, I have the right to a personal choice, so let's go. Stark's outfit reveals a lot about his ability and personality.
His coats represent the different layers and facade the character lives when Fern and Frieren first meet him. Additionally, Stark is widely considered attractive by a large portion of Frieren's fanbase.
His simple yet striking style reflects his practical and reserved personality, making him one of the most memorable characters in terms of design.
Yor
Yor Forger, from Spy x Family, is a perfect example of elegance and lethality. As both a skilled assassin and a loving mother, her wardrobe reflects these dualities.
Her sophisticated dresses and combat outfits are equally impressive, showcasing her versatility and grace. And her sweatshirt that is worn at home, demonstrating comfort and security with her family. Every outfit she wears is meticulously chosen to match her personality and her role in the series at any given time.
Whether on a secret mission or at a social event, Yor always stands out with his impeccable style and commanding presence.
Killua Zoldyck
Killua Zoldyck, from Hunter x Hunter, is an example of a stylish character who found a place on this list due to his different outfits. He has several iconic outfits throughout the series, each reflecting different aspects of his personality and journey:
Classic Outfit: Consisting of blue shorts and a long-sleeved t-shirt, this is Killua's most recognizable look. The simplicity of this costume highlights his carefree and youthful personality, while also being practical for his activities as an assassin and hunter. This look is especially iconic for the contrast it creates with her white hair and piercing blue eyes.

Training Uniform: During his training with Bisky and in intense battles, Killua is often seen in more sporty and form-fitting clothing, such as compression shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt. This costume allows for greater freedom of movement and reflects your dedication to perfecting your physical and combat skills.
Casual Clothing: In more relaxed moments, Killua is seen wearing casual clothes, such as colorful t-shirts and comfortable pants. These costumes highlight his more human side and friendship with Gon, showing that he is also an ordinary boy who likes to have fun and relax.
Gala Attire: On some special occasions, Killua appears in more formal clothing, such as suits. This shows his sophisticated side and his origins in the Zoldyck family, one of the most renowned assassin families. Even in formal attire, Killua maintains his aura of confidence and dexterity.
Each of Killua's costumes are used to show his maturity and express his personality, making him one of the most versatile and stylish characters in Hunter x Hunter.
Seto Kaiba
Seto Kaiba, from Yu-Gi-Oh!, is synonymous with elegance and power. His iconic exaggerated white coat, with black accents, is a perfect reflection of his dominant and confident personality. Kaiba not only stands out for the design of his clothes, but also for his use of accessories such as gloves and belts, which complement his look as an elite duelist.
His sophisticated and imposing appearance is an extension of his ruthless attitude, making him one of the most stylized and memorable characters in anime.
Misa Amane
Misa Amane, from Death Note, is a fashion figure in the world of anime, in addition to being the crush of many who watched Death Note, I know she was mine. Her gothic-lolita style is striking and matches perfectly with her eccentric and energetic personality.
Misa is often seen wearing lace dresses, thigh-high boots, and accessories like chain belts and leather bracelets, which add a touch of rebelliousness to her cute and dark look. Her carefully cultivated appearance reflects both her modeling career and her devotion to Kira, making each of her outfits an expression of her complex character.
Tanjiro and Nezuko
Tanjiro and Nezuko, from Demon Slayer, are examples of how character design can be both traditional and innovative. Yes, we know they are not just one character, but my editor thought it would be cute to put them together. Tanjiro is often seen in his iconic green and black checkered haori, a sartorial choice that highlights his determination and humble roots. His costume is practical for combat, but it also symbolizes his role in saving and protecting his sister, as well as his quest for ahem “justice.”

Nezuko, on the other hand, has an adorable and distinctive look with her pink kimono and red hakama, which contrast with her bamboo mouth and demonic features. Her clothing design is a perfect fusion of traditional and fantastical, reflecting the essence of her journey and sisterly bond.
Android 18
Android 18, from Dragon Ball, is one of the most iconic and stylized characters in the series. Her original outfit, with a denim jacket, skirt and boots, is simple but effective in highlighting her cool and powerful attitude.
The Red Ribbon Army emblem jacket recalls its past as a creation of Dr. Gero, while its practical, modern style reflects its strong, independent nature. Even as she transitions to a more peaceful life, 18 maintains a sense of style that makes her stand out, whether in battle or in casual moments with her family.
Hinata Hyuga
Hinata Hyuga, from Naruto, has a style that evolves along with her character throughout the series. In the classic, she is seen wearing a thick, comfortable coat, reflecting her shy and reserved nature.
As Hinata grows and becomes a more confident and strong kunoichi, her wardrobe also evolves into more functional and stylish attire. His battle uniform in Naruto Shippuden is practical, but still highlights his grace and determination. Hinata manages to balance simplicity and elegance in her outfits, reflecting her inner beauty and strength of character.
Furthermore, her motherly and caring style in Boruto shows a new face of her personality, always maintaining her low-key but charming fashion sense.
Conclusion
These characters not only enchant with their abilities and personalities, but also with their striking looks, unique styles and beauty. Clothing design in anime is an art form that complements and enriches the narrative, making each character stand out uniquely. Whether through the complexity of their costumes or the stylish simplicity, these characters prove that fashion is an essential part of animation.
