The character dressing trend turns fashion into a role-playing game

    Accueil > FASHION > Trends

    What if dressing was embodying? These days, fashion is about more than just following trends. It’s about playing, exploring and becoming. Like the character dressing trend.

    Having appeared on social networks and in the most sophisticated circles of the fashion sphere, character dressing involves dressing as a character that you imagine or aspire to be. It’s a liberating and deliciously fun way to reinvent yourself on a daily basis.

    Dress like a mood, not a norm

    Far from ‘I wear what suits me’, character dressing is based on the opposite logic: I dress to ‘feel’ something. Every day becomes a stage, every outfit an extension of an alter ego.

    Rebel biker, romantic heiress, business witch or Ghibli heroine: anything goes. The wardrobe is transformed into a theatrical dressing room, and style becomes a tool for intimate storytelling.

    An aesthetic influenced by pop culture

    This is the era of ‘main character energy’, the feeling of being the main character in your own life. On the networks, trends are exploding: clean girl one day, dystopian baddie the next.

    Gen Z mixes inspirations like mood boards: films, TV series, video games, manga, forgotten icons… Everything can feed the imagination. Character dressing is a form of homage and misappropriation in one.

    A response to the quest for a fluid identity

    At a time when identities are unfolding in all their complexity, fashion is going with the flow. There’s no longer any need to stick to a single style. We can be several, depending on the day, the mood and the state of mind. Clothing becomes a tool for self-exploration.

    Character dressing offers a deeply liberating space for expression without judgement or labels.

    The impact on contemporary fashion

    Brands have realised this: offering pieces that tell a story, that allow us to project ourselves, is becoming an asset. Some collections have taken on this narrative dimension, with silhouettes worthy of fairy tales or fantasy worlds.

    We’re no longer just selling a jacket. We’re selling a character, an atmosphere, a power to embody.

    And the practical side?

    No need for a full costume or an endless dressing room. Character dressing also means knowing how to play with details: a lace collar, a black lipstick, a pair of Victorian boots…

    The important thing is the intention. To create a silhouette that says something. Even if no one can guess exactly what it is.
