As is common in life simulation games (and a lot of games in general), Disney Dreamlight Valley offers a great deal of customization for players and their avatar. While some games don't let players adjust their avatar or make them jump through unnecessary hoops to do so, that is not the case for Disney Dreamlight Valley. You can customize and change your avatar at any time. In fact, every single aspect of your avatar can be changed at any given time and here is how this can be done.

Updated December 19, 2023 by Paul Woodward: Disney Dreamlight Valley has left Early Access and has had a physical release via the Cozy Edition of the game. While not much has changed regarding changing the outfit and appearance of your avatar since Disney Dreamlight Valley first released, there has been one major quality of life change in the form of mannequins.

How to Change Outfit

If you want to change the appearance of your avatar, you will have to navigate to their inventory. There, you will see two other tabs labeled "Wardrobe" and "Furniture." Upon selecting Wardrobe, you will see a menu that will look very similar to the one they saw when you created your avatar. There, you will be able to go through any clothes that you have obtained and will be able to change your look.

You should be aware, however, that when starting the game out, you will be limited to the outfit you began the game with. Fortunately, Disney Dreamlight Valley makes it very easy for you to pick up new outfits via random drops from chests or from Scrooge McDuck's store. The Wardrobe is also how you will access the Magic Tool that lets you customize your outfits.

How to Change Hairstyle

The Wardrobe tab gives you more than just the ability to customize your avatar's outfit. You can also change your avatar's hairstyle and facial hair. In fact, Disney Dreamlight Valley goes the extra mile and gives you the option to completely redo your avatar.

As a result, it is very easy to change your look or appearance in every single way with just a few button presses. This is especially useful since there are some quests that will require you to change your outfit to use clothes that are related to the quest in some way.

It makes sense that Disney Dreamlight Valley would allow you to have complete and total creative freedom with your avatar at any given point, given that it is a major mechanic in the game itself with all the various outfits that can be acquired.

If you don't want to waste time trying to remember a favorite outfit, then there is good news. Mannequins were added into the game, and they essentially allow you to save your favorite outfits. When interacting with a mannequin, you can either change what outfit it is wearing or put that particular outfit on.
