The creator has made other outfits inspired by various characters and themes, showcasing their artistic talent.

One fashion-forward fan of the hit Nintendo series Animal Crossing has shared images of two outfits they created that capture the clothing styles of Isabelle and Tom Nook. While the Animal Crossing series boasts hundreds of villagers that can potentially join players’ islands, no one comes out of the most recent games in the series without interacting with these two iconic characters.

Both characters have a long history with the Animal Crossing games and have built up sizable fan bases with their numerous appearances. In particular, Isabelle has been a popular Animal Crossing cosplay choice since her debut in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where she served as the mayor’s secretary, carrying out several essential daily duties for managing the town and organizing all the special events.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Discovers Neat Roost Feature

An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player discovers a neat feature when inviting a villager over for coffee within the game’s cafe, The Roost.

The two outfits shared by Reddit user mayalcaulfield show two distinctly different styles, but the clothing combinations match the in-game visuals of Isabelle and Tom Nook from Animal Crossing: New Leaf almost perfectly. Isabelle’s outfit is based on her original fall and winter look, featuring a mustard cardigan over a white frilly blouse and red ribbon, while the Tom Nook look is simpler, featuring a red tie underneath a green sweater vest. The creator doesn’t technically refer to either of the images as a cosplay, and none of the anthropomorphized animal qualities are present in either outfit, save for the first one’s wig being styled to match the design of Isabelle’s droopy shih tzu ears. Instead, they refer to the looks as “real-world outfits,” and while most Animal Crossing fans would be able to identify their inspiration in a heartbeat, they also look like something that could be worn in a casual setting.

Animal Crossing Fan Creates Everyday Fashions Based on Characters

In addition to sharing the images of these two outfits, this fashionable player has experience creating another Animal Crossing-based outfit. The creator shared a bonus image showing their everyday outfit for Animal Crossing‘s Mr. Resetti, the ill-tempered mole who lectures players for shutting off the game without saving. Featuring a yellow hat, denim overalls, and a white polo, the look does match the grumpy mole, though the accompanying tool bag really nails down where the inspiration comes from.

These aren’t the Animal Crossing fan’s only fashion creations that they’ve made. They’ve also shared images of outfits based on Padme Amidala from the Star Wars franchise and four characters from Gossip Girl, as well as a suit of samurai armor made out of recycled goods, to name just a few. Their artistic skills don’t end with fashion, either, as they’ve also hand-crafted some miniature Koroks from The Legend of Zelda games to hide around their home.

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.

Show off your island utopia to family and friends—or pack your bags and visit theirs. Whether playing online** or with others beside you***, island living is even better when you can share it. Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming animal residents bursting with personality. Friendly faces like Tom Nook and Isabelle will lend their services and happily help you grow your budding community. Escape to your island getaway—however, whenever, and wherever you want.
