How the Wardrobe System Works
Inside your backpack, every item has a hidden ID. The game reads these IDs at the start of each day. If the save file lacks style info, it falls back to the base shirt and pants. Studies indicate outfit changes update once you open the Dresser menu.
Simple Fixes for Players
Head to Robin's shop or the Sewing Machine. Craft or buy a new shirt and hat. Save, quit, then reload to see the switch. This clears cached data and forces the game to resync.
Wear something new today; it takes two minutes.
