Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

Let's delve into modifying your character's physical appearance in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. This game offers an incredibly detailed character creator, allowing you to craft an avatar that could closely resemble your real-life self.
If you decide you want to make adjustments partway through the game, you're in luck. Once you unlock the base camp, head to your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu by pressing L1 or R1. From there, select the "Change Appearance" option, and you'll be able to revisit the character creator to tweak both your Hunter and Palico's looks.
How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

The Layered Armor feature is available right from the start of *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Head to your tent, access the Appearance Menu, and select "Equipment Appearance." This allows you to customize your Hunter's outfit to your heart's content, though you're limited to the Layered Armor items you've unlocked. Unfortunately, you can't transmog your equipped armor with other armor types you've crafted in the game.
There's also a "Palico Equipment Appearance" option, which lets you apply Layered Armor items to your Palico.
If the Layered Armor options don't meet your style, the only other way to change your outfit is by forging and equipping new armor. Keep in mind that each piece of equipment has different stats, so don't let fashion completely overshadow function.
Seikret Customization
Don't forget about the Seikret Customization available in the Appearance Menu. This feature lets you modify the Seikret's skin and feather colors, and experiment with various settings such as patterns, decoration types, and even eye color.
That's the rundown on changing your outfits and appearance in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
