With over three billion visits, it’s safe to say that Dress to Impress is one of the most popular dress-up games in gaming. There are endless themes that allow you to flaunt your creativity, all with plenty of outfits to come up with.
Some themes are more difficult than others, though, and Acubi is one of them. This style can be tough to get right if you don’t know what to do. We’re here to help and give you some of the best outfit ideas for this theme.
What is Acubi fashion?
Acubi is a style originating in Korea that mixes basic pieces with Y2K styling. Neutral colors, specifically blacks, whites, and grays, are one key to this style. Layering is also popular in this fashion.
You’ll usually see a combination of the following clothing pieces in Acubi attire:
- Tank tops
- Skirts
- Jackets, both long and cropped
- Baggy long-sleeved shirts
- Wide-leg baggy pants
This fashion remains casual yet elevated from normal clothes. It even occasionally mixes some elements from cyberpunk into the style. It’s very fun, and you have a lot of room for creativity. You can also combine all kinds of clothing styles into the mix, from layered skirts and knee-high socks to baggy pants and jackets. Although you won’t see much jewelry in Acubi outfits, you can use the occasional bracelet, belt or necklace to tie everything together.
How to dress Acubi in Dress to Impress
For the first look, start with the baggie jeans and make sure to toggle them to cargos. Baggy clothing is one of the most popular types of Acubi pieces. Change their pattern to this patchwork, which keeps it interesting but remains in the neutral palette.
Next, layer the t-shirt and heart tank top, and match the colors so it looks like one top. Color the top gray and the heart a deep red. This adds a nice pop of color while remaining neutral. Then, add the sweatshirt from the male section and toggle it to just sleeves. This will give the shirt a baggy look.
Add a beanie, toggle the cat ears off, and you can either color this black or match the pattern on the jeans. You can use any boots to complete this look before adding the heart choker for that final touch.
Hair and makeup is up to you, although it’s best to choose a more natural look than a heavily made-up one.
Acubi is all about minimalism
The second outfit starts with the moto jacket colored in black and gray. Make sure you’re up to date on all the DTI codes so you have this piece to choose from. Then, add the pleated skirt and color it a neutral khaki with a black belt. The metal should be gray as well.
Stack the black combat boots with the platform Mary Janes, also in black, to elevate the boots’ look. Add a beanie to this look, too, in dark gray or a patchwork pattern. Add the goggles on top for a cyberpunk element without being too over-the-top.
Again, hair and makeup are whatever you think goes best with the look. I’d keep the hair color a natural tone to match the neutral color palette stable.
One unique aspect of Acubi is the creative freedom you have with it. If you prefer skirts and short-sleeved shirts, you can combine these with a crossbody bag and a few accessories to make your outfit interesting. You can also go the opposite route with long, baggy pants, a jacket that goes past your character’s waist, and fashionable hats to give a warmer vibe.
In short, if you choose a more minimalist approach with some bold elements and mostly neutral colors, you’ll be well on your way to winning any Acubi-themed Dress to Impress round you encounter.
