Dress Icon
Dress items can be obtained from Crafting, in the Dress tab with the Teal Top Hat icon on the left-hand side. Dress items make it easier to counter seasons' effects such as Freezing, Overheating, or Wetness, often granting extra Sanity regeneration too.
Many Dress items have Durability, which is consumed over time by simply wearing them. A Sewing Kit can be used to restore most Dress items' durability, unless it is fully depleted, in which case the item is destroyed. The Straw Hat and Garland are the only Dress items available at the start of the game.
Some Mobs can wear hats, either those given to them or stolen from the player. These include Pigs (and Werepigs), Guardian Pigs, Bunnymen (and Beardlords), and Splumonkeys. Killing the mob will drop the hat, though the player can swap hats on Pigs and Bunnymen.
Visit the Character clothes pages to see how all Dress items look on each Character.
