Summary

There are tons of stylish clothes you may find, buy, loot, or steal inFallout 4. While aesthetics come down to your own personal tastes, when it comes to padding your own stats, well, not all clothing is made equal if you’re looking for attribute bonuses and the ability to wear armor on top of it.

While the kind of setup you have for your character will determine what bonuses are ultimately best for you, there’s also certain clothing that is great for any build, thanks to the passive effects they provide. Not sure what you need? Come on down and sift through the Commonwealth’s robust, thrifted selection.

Typical, dark green army fatigues with pockets, buttons, and a tan belt.

Some of these clothes require owning either the Vault-Tec or Nuka-World DLC.

If you’re running a build that’d benefit from a bit of extra melee damage, max carry weight, max action points, and better odds at performing sneaky actions like pickpocketing and remaining undetected, then Army Fatigues are the way to go.

Whether you tear it off a dead Gunner’s body, buy it from a vendor, or find it in a random building, there are plenty of ways to acquire these fatigues. If you want a clean set, however, head over to Quincy Ruins and search the nearby stores.

Largely yellow and green camoflauge fatigues used by military personell.

If you need a hefty boost to your Agility attribute, along with a small bit of energy resistance as an added bonus, then you should grab a pair of Military Fatigues from the Cambridge Police Station. Just… don’t spend too much time around Paladin Danse; he might convince you to jointhe ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Alternatively, you’re able to snoop around the Diamond City Market to see if any vendors happen to have this outfit in stock. Your best bet is to head to Fallon’s Basement, which sells all kinds of clothing.

A formal, semi-checkered, dark suit with a white dress shirt and black tie.

While this Fancy Plaid Suit and Tie won’t protect you from lasers, bullets, or radiation, it will give you a great boost to your Charisma attribute, and consequently give you better buying and selling prices, and a greater chance at persuading others in dialogue.

Keep in mind,you will need the Nuka-World DLC to get this item. If you sculk around Nuka-World long enough, you’ll surely find this formal set of clothing. Although, if you’re impatient, you could always steal a pair from a member of the Operators.

A stylish, black, long sleeve shirt with pockets, and a pair of worn jeans.

A torn shirt and a decent pair of jeans can create a stylish look for almost anybody, but who knew it gave you such a nice boost to Endurance, which will increase your max health, and allow you to sprint for longer?

However, sincethis set of clothes comes from the Nuka-World DLC, you’ll either have to be okay with looking like a raider, or a punk rocker, depending on your interpretation. Well, with a bunch of armor layered on top, the look might not matter to you in the end.

A greaser style black leather jacket with a white undershirt.

Head, Legs

This jacket and jeans combo, which can be obtained from Atom Cats, or bought from an… interesting trader holed up in a shack southeast of Walden Pond, is a must for any Luck-based build looking to keep those critical hits coming.

One drawback to keep in mind is that this clothing only allows you to put armor on both legs and your head, but that can be easily counteracted with the Ballistic Weave armor mod, which can be learned from Tinker Tom at The Railroad headquarters.

A plain, white t-shirt with a pair of furry red pants.

Head, Chest, Arms

While the look of this clothing is designed to reflect the wild, chaotic nature of The Pack, one of the raider factionsinvolved in the Nuka-World DLC, it boasts respectable boosts to your Luck and Endurance, and offersa surprising amount of damage resistance.

While you won’t be able to put any armor over either of your legs, you’ll still be able to throw on a sturdy piece of chest armor, a helmet, and some arm protection. Besides, who cares how silly you look when you’re becoming a wasteland demigod?

A faded green, barbarian style lower body clothing with a leather belt and gold rivets.

Head, Arms, Legs

If you’re running a melee-focused build, the Grognak Costume is a piece of clothing you should grab as soon as possible, since it gives great added resistances, a hefty boost to your Strength attribute, and a 25 percent increase to melee weapon damage.

Combined with leg, arm, and head armor, you’ll be tearing apart Super Mutants and raiders like a D&D barbarian from hell in no time. With all these benefits considered, you’re probably not that upset about not being able to wear any chest armor.

A blue, vault 88 jumpsuit with a yellow stripe in the middle.

So long as you have the Vault-Tec DLC, and you’re willing to help a Ghoul Overseer with questionable ethics carry out various experiments on human beings that you lure into Vault 88, you’ll be rewarded with this incredible jumpsuit.

While it doesn’t offer any attribute bonuses, it provides good base resistances, can be upgraded at an armor workbench, doesn’t restrict you from wearing armor on any part of your body, and most importantly,has a passive effect that reduces all damage from Ghouls by 15 percent.
