Red Dead Redemption 2 is not only a game that allows players to immerse themselves in the ultimate cowboy fantasy, but it also offers a vast array of outfits to choose from, making it a fun challenge to decide on the perfect attire for the game's protagonist. Fans have different opinions when it comes to fashion and which outfit is the best one, but for those seeking guidance, there are a few factors that should be taken into consideration, like the suitable weather or the price of the items.

It is worth noting that the game features over one hundred clothing items, but only complete attires can be considered outfits. Finding out what the best outfit in RDR2 is can become frustrating, as many of them are unlocked only after completing specific missions or side quests, while some are simply found only in specific places. However, despite their large number and their various looks, some outfits simply proved themselves to be the best ones, quickly becoming fan favorites.

Updated on April 24, 2024, by Ritwik Mitra: Red Dead Redemption 2 features a wealth of stylish outfits that Arthur can wear during his travels. With many people realizing that the temperature mechanics of this game don't force players to change their clothing too much, it only makes sense to dress Arthur up in the best and most fashionable outfits possible for vanity purposes. While there are regular outfits that help him fit into the game world, it seems like players are encouraged to experiment with outrageous combinations to make this character look positively unhinged at times. The sheer variety of outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2 is staggering, and the best of the bunch are a blast to wear. For those looking to make the most of RDR2's clothing options, these are some of the best the game has to offer.

21 The Death Roll

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $167.00
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in average weather

There are many legendary animals that Arthur can hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 to skin them for their valuable pelts. The trapper will purchase said pelts for a high fee, giving Arthur more dollars to burn through during his adventures in the Wild West. Not only that, but players can purchase special outfits once they've hunted certain legendary animals, too.

Once players manage to hunt down the Legendary Alligator and Legendary Panther, they'll have the opportunity to get their hands on The Death Roll outfit. It's great when a video game recognizes a player's hard work, and with this outfit, gamers are free to flaunt their accomplishment.

20 The Huntsman

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $123.00
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in average weather

Two more legendary animals that players can hunt down are the Legendary Coyote and the Legendary Pronghorn. Unlike most other legendary predators that pose significant problems to the player, these two animals are relatively simpler to kill, but gamers shouldn't let their guard down regardless. It still takes a bit of effort for players to skin their hides and sell them to the trapper.

Doing so unlocks the Huntsman outfit, which looks pretty great barring a hat that is in poor taste. Still, that's a small negative for what is otherwise a pretty cool-looking set that players can wear to show off the fruits of their labor.

19 The Stalker

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $108.00
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in average weather

When it comes to legendary herbivorous animals who generally run away from conflict, it's important for players to be as sneaky as possible to ensure that their target doesn't get the chance to run away. This is what makes hunting down the Legendary Moose and Legendary Ram pretty hard, with players having to stealth around quite a bit to even get a chance at killing these two skittish animals.

The reward for selling both their pelts to the trapper is the Stalker outfit, which many people consider to be one of the best-looking outfits players can snag for their hard-earned efforts. Players who want to boast about their hunting exploits will love wearing this set and seeing it come to life during the many amazing cinematics Red Dead Redemption 2 has to offer.

18 Brawler's Outfit

Unlocked After Completing The "Eastward Bound" Mission

• Cost: N/A
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot weather

There are many outfits that Arthur can wear during his adventures in Red Dead Redemption 2, and all of them are pretty stylish in their own way. However, after a while, some people wouldn't mind if this dashing protagonist wore something normal and unremarkable for a change.

Such is the case with the Brawler's Outfit, which is perfect for Arthur if players want him to cosplay as a run-of-the-mill ruffian. Picking fights while wearing this outfit is rather fitting, as the name would suggest. It's a very different garb from Arthur's usual choice of clothing, so it's fine if this style is not fitting for those who don't see Arthur pulling off this look.

17 The Ruffian

Unlocked After Completing The "Eastward Bound" Mission

• Cost: N/A
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot weather

Arthur Morgan is a man who can be honorable if the player makes him carry out noble tasks instead of being a scoundrel, but he'll always be a criminal in the eyes of the law. Nothing can change that, so players likely won't mind looking the part in an outfit that makes Arthur seem rugged and world-weary at the same time.

The simple yellow vest complements this ensemble perfectly, making Arthur stand out without looking too conspicuous in the process. It's a great garb that players can try out if they've already exhausted the many other looks that Arthur can flaunt in the game.

16 The Rebel

Unlocked After Completing The "Eastward Bound" Mission

• Cost: N/A
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in average weather

Most of the more notable outfits that Arthur wears in Red Dead Redemption 2 feature a coat that makes the protagonist look larger than life. This makes it easy to see why the Rebel outfit that players can unlock is so appealing.

The only negative about this outfit is the fact that it's only suitable in pleasant weather, meaning that players will have to change Arthur's garb in hot or cold climates if they don't want him to slowly waste away after failing to bear the pressure of these extreme elements. Thankfully, extreme temperatures only rear their head in a few select locations, which means that players shouldn't face too many issues while exploring the world in this outfit as long as they know what the weather is like in most locations.

15 The Legend Of The East

Unlocked By Completing All Challenges

• Cost: N/A
• Temperature Considerations: None

Undoubtedly, the Legend of the East outfit stands out as the most fashionable and desirable set of clothing in Red Dead Redemption 2. Its superiority stems from the fact that it can be worn in all types of weather without any negative effects, and it is obtained by completing every single challenge in the game.

However, the outfit's drawback is that it can only be worn by John Marston, the game's second protagonist. Nevertheless, for players who wish to wear it with other characters, cheats are available to circumvent this restriction.

14 The Gunslinger

Unlocked After Completing The "Eastward Bound" Mission

• Cost: N/A
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot or average weather

The default outfit is a solid choice for players who prefer a classic look for their character. Designed as Arthur Morgan's regular choice of clothing, this outfit is available from the start of the game and comes in two variations: Summer Gunslinger and Winter Gunslinger.

The lack of any extra frills or accessories makes it a simple yet stylish option that can be worn in any weather condition. It is also a cost-effective choice as it doesn't require any in-game purchases or completion of challenges. Last but not least, it's the look that's synonymous with Arthur's character, making it a great outfit choice for players who want to see Arthur look his very best in every situation.

13 The Summer Gunslinger

Unlocked After Completing The "Eastward Bound" Mission

• Cost: N/A
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot weather

The Summer Gunslinger features a blue long-sleeved shirt with rolled sleeves and suspenders. The outfit also includes a black neckerchief and a wide-brimmed washed-out hat, and the stained pants are tucked into tall black boots.

It's a classic look for Arthur and something that fans will love to wear during their adventures in the game. It helps that this outfit is perfect for Arthur to combat the heat in some parts of the open world, and most people would agree that this is one of the most stylish looks everyone's beloved Red Dead Redemption 2 protagonist can don.

12 The Trophy Buck

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $115.00
• Temperature Considerations: None

Acquiring the Trophy Buck outfit requires players to track and take down the Legendary Buck, Fox, and Ram. Once assembled, this outfit offers a sophisticated look reminiscent of the default Gunslinger jacket but with the added flair of a raccoon-skin hat.

Compared to other outfits available from the Trapper, the Trophy Buck ensemble is a more practical option that does not require too many pelts and avoids the over-the-top appearance of some of the other choices.

11 The Bear Hunter

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $117.00
• Temperature Considerations: None

The Bear Hunter outfit is crafted by the Trapper and requires a combination of pelts, including the Legendary Bear Pelt, Bison, Boar, Bull, and Jackrabbit pelts. While the requirements may seem daunting, the resulting outfit is a testament to Arthur's hunting skills. The opportunity to catch the Legendary Bear arises on an early hunting mission with Hosea.

The standout feature of the Bear Hunter outfit is undoubtedly the bear head hat, which makes for a bold and unique fashion statement. Despite its intimidating appearance, the outfit proves to be both practical and stylish.

10 The Grizzlies Outlaw

Unlocked After Completing The Mission "Eastward Bound"

• Cost: N/A
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in cold weather

The Grizzlies Outlaw outfit is one of the more unique and stylish outfits available in Red Dead Redemption 2. It's one of the more stylish outfits on offer, featuring a fancy brown trenchcoat, trousers to match, and an appealing red dress shirt, making it ideal when encountering cold climates.

It offers players a distinctive Wild West flair. For those looking to stand out and stay warm at the same time, this outfit can be unlocked by completing the "Eastward Bound" mission.

9 The Saint-Denis

Purchased From The Saint-Denis Tailor

• Cost: $98.75
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot or average weather

This outfit can only be purchased in the buzzing city of Saint-Denis. It pays homage to the urban environment and the sophisticated style of the location, which is a stark contrast to the rugged wilderness and small towns that dominate the Red Dead Redemption 2's landscape.

While it is not as costly as some of the other outfits, the Saint-Denis outfit is well-crafted and allows Arthur Morgan to blend seamlessly into the crowds of the city.

8 The Dewberry Creek

Purchased In Worths General Store In Valentine

• Cost: $115.50
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot weather

The Dewberry Creek outfit consists of a plaid shirt, suspenders, a long coat, and a pair of brown pants. It also includes a stylish hat that fits perfectly with the overall look of the outfit.

To unlock this outfit, players need an honor rating of 6. Then, it can be purchased from Worths General Store in Valentine. Visually, this outfit is similar to the Grizzlies Outlaw set, but it's slightly rougher around the edges, which makes it a great choice for Arthur.

7 The Ghost Bison

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $133.00
• Temperature Considerations: None

The Ghost Bison outfit boasts an intriguing name that evokes an air of mystery. Its striking appearance lives up to the hype, thanks to the use of Legendary Elk Pelts and Legendary Bison Pelts to craft the coat, mittens, and hood.

The combination of the white coloring of the Legendary Bison's fur and the small horns on the hood make for an eerie and ghostly aesthetic. This outfit is not only stylish, but it also serves as proof of the dedication required for the player to track down the legendary animals in the game. The Ghost Bison outfit truly transforms Arthur into an eerie hunter of the woods.

6 The Faulkton

Purchased In The Strawberry General Store

• Cost: $84.50
• Temperature Considerations: Best worn in hot or average weather

The Faulkton outfit, available for purchase at Strawberry's General Store, is a reasonably priced option among the variety of outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2. Compared to the higher-priced attires found in Saint-Denis, Faulkton's cost is surprisingly moderate.

Additionally, it can be purchased without requiring a high honor rating, making it easily accessible to most players. The outfit has an unassuming appearance, featuring a long jacket that is adaptable to various temperatures.

5 The Beast Of Prey

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $144.00
• Temperature Considerations: None

Acquiring the Beast of Prey outfit from the Trapper requires a significant amount of effort, as players must obtain Perfect pelts from several animals, including the challenging Legendary Cougar and Legendary Wolf. They're some of the more vicious animals in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 and will not be easily defeated, which makes obtaining their pelts all the more valuable.

Thankfully, the reward for this hard work is a striking outfit that is sure to impress all those who unlock it. The Beast of Prey outfit projects an image of a skilled hunter, and the effort required to obtain it only adds to its desirability.

4 The Dreamcatcher

Purchased From The Trapper

• Cost: $139.00
• Temperature Considerations: None

The Dreamcatcher outfit has something truly unique in its appearance. The mix of different pelts and feathers gives it a patchwork-like quality that sets it apart from other outfits in the game.

The Cardinal Feather in particular is a nice touch, adding a pop of color to the otherwise muted palette of the outfit. While it may not be the most stylish or cohesive outfit in Red Dead Redemption 2, the Dreamcatcher is certainly one of the more eye-catching options available.

3 The Cowboy

Unlocked After Completing The "Motherhood" Mission

• Cost: N/A

The Cowboy Outfit is a classic attire that features a faded denim vest, a dirty beige shirt with sleeves rolled up, a neckerchief, striped pants, and boots.

It can be obtained after completing "The Outlaw's Return" mission, and once acquired, it can be worn anytime during the game. As opposed to The Cowboy, this set of clothing is much more respectable-looking, which is ideal considering what John gets up to during the epilogue.
