Though it may not have started out that way, GTA: Online has an absolute bonanza of clothing items for players to deck out their characters with. It helps to personalise everyone's own experience, and the community has managed to create some truly brilliant outfits along the way.

So why stop there? Redemption's multiplayer was all well and good back in the day, but only giving players an option to choose from a few select presets just isn't going to cut it now. I mean, we need the biz this time around; an immense selection of hats, ponchos, coats and boots to dress our imagined hero up in whatever way we please.

Whether someone has their sites set on a Man With No Name getup or are looking to fit in with the Magnificent Seven shouldn't matter; all guises should be available to make Red Dead's online as immersive as possible.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
