ESO Fashion and Outfits

On this page you will find everything that you need to know about ESO Fashion, Outfits, Motifs and everything related to appearance. If you want to know more, check out the page!

ESO Fashion and Outfits are a very important part of most ESO players. Not for nothing does ESO have hundreds of Motif Styles and Costumes, which players can acquire through various methods. For this, the choice of mount and non-combat pets is also very important and may decide on a character's RP background or the story in your head, connecting to them on a personal level.

It's the variety which makes players want to accumulate as many different pets, costumes or motifs as possible, and even if anyone can purchase or find them, the dyes give it an entirely different appearance all-together again, for the true ESO fashion endgame.

  • Each Outfit Style will display a hint revealing how it can be unlocked.

Outfit and collectible layers for ESO Fashion

Appearance collectibles interface with Outfits in a layered fashion. These layers form groups that may hide one or more parts from lower layers - such as a costume that hides your entire face, or a hat that hides your costume's hat so your face can be seen again. If you have head markings and facial accessories active, the costume hides them, but the hat brings them back.From bottom to top, the layer order for your appearance is:

  • Personalities
  • Body Markings and Head Markings
  • Skins, Hair Styles, Facial Accessories, Facial Hair, and Jewelry
  • Equipped Armor and Outfits
  • Costumes
  • Hats
  • Polymorphs
