Clothing

Clothing is an aesthetic mechanic in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. As the party gains new es, they take on the general appearance of who they learned the class from. Mastering a class allows wearing a certain outfit regardless of the current class. The ability to change appearance at all is unlocked with the class system in Chapter 2, while the ability to change outfits freely is unlocked after completing No Want of Courage and unlocking Ethel's class.
Clothing is usually retained during cutscenes, though cloaks and capes are often hidden. Certain cutscenes of high importance will force default outfits. Flashbacks are often pre-rendered, and thus always show default outfits.
==List of clothing==
===Class-based===
In general, upon switching to a class, a party member will take on the torso and sleeves of the class's originator. Earning rank 10 in a class unlocks this outfit for use with any class.

==Trivia==
* In the original release of the game, there is a model error in Taion's Strategos outfit involving a rogue vertex stabbing him in the chin. This bug was later fixed.
* The DLC outfits are the only way to see Taion's Core Crystal in-game, as it is overwise covered by all class outfits.
