Video game character fashion style is inspired by the iconic outfits and designs of popular video game protagonists and antagonists, blending fantasy, sci-fi, and futuristic elements with real-world clothing.
This style emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as video games became more mainstream and characters more visually complex. It gained popularity through cosplay communities and has since influenced mainstream fashion, with designers creating collections inspired by games like Final Fantasy and Pokemon.
