**Cosmetics** are items in *Among Us* used to customize characters. There are five types of cosmetics: hats, skins, nameplates, visor cosmetics, and pets. Hats are worn on players' heads, skins are worn on their bodies, nameplates appear on the player's voting box in meetings, visors are worn on the face, and pets follow the player around until the player is killed by An Impostor or ejected.

Some cosmetics are free and automatically owned by the player, while a variety of other cosmetics can be unlocked by paying in-game currency. Cosmetics can be bought in the shop or inside Cosmicubes, and owned cosmetics can be equipped in the wardrobe.

## Overview

Cosmetics grant little gameplay advantage and mostly serve the purpose of supporting the developers. However, if someone is An Impostor and is running away or using a vent, people can identify them by a hat or pet because they make the space of their character larger. On the other hand, if someone is a Crewmate, then cosmetics could be used to verify that a player was in a location. Some cosmetics slightly hide the color of the player, which can further confuse other players. Players with different cosmetics also assist colorblind players in telling characters apart.

## Hats

Hats accessorize or cover the top of a character's body.

## Trivia

* There used to be sprites for unused hats in the game files, including a drinking cap, a headcrab, and a pot. These hats were either removed or repurposed into officially released hats.
* Many skins and hats reference Marcus Bromander's *Henry Stickmin* series.
* As of version 2020.10.22, cosmetics are visible on the voting screen, and as of version 2021.6.30, they are also visible in the chat screen.
* The Halloween hats can be unlocked before or after Halloween by setting the device's time to October.
	+ The same applies to the Christmas hats.
* Any player playing as Fortegreen is unable to select cosmetics, and will appear wearing the military suit.
* When the kill animation is displayed, a few hats have changes, such as the We All Float Here popping.
* The cosmetics worn on the players are mirrored if the player is facing the opposite direction. There are some exceptions to this, such as the Right Hand Man: Reborn.
