Dress to Impress has taken over Roblox and the fashion gaming world with its mix of creativity, competition, and fierce style. Whether you’re dressing for “Royal Ball” or “Streetwear Baddie,” scoring high isn’t just about picking the prettiest pieces — it’s about creating a full look with purpose, flair, and a touch of drama.
Here’s your ultimate guide to slaying every round, with expert outfit-building tips, category strategies, and secret hacks to help you dominate the runway and rack up wins in 2025.
Understand How Dress to Impress Works
Before diving into outfits, know what you’re working with:
- You get a random theme prompt (e.g., “Under the Sea,” “Gothic Glam,” “Pastel Princess”).
- A timer starts (usually 3–5 minutes) to build your look.
- You walk the runway and vote for others’ outfits.
- Your score is a mix of votes + how well your outfit fits the theme.
Goal: Impress the audience and judges with originality, theme accuracy, and cohesive styling.
Top Styling Tips to Always Stand Out
1. Dress for the Theme, Not Just Aesthetic
Many players make the mistake of going for what looks good rather than what fits the prompt.
Tip: Look closely at the theme’s keywords. If the theme is “Cottagecore Royalty,” go soft, nature-inspired, and regal — think florals + crowns, not clubwear.
2. Use Layering Like a Pro
Dress to Impress allows multiple pieces to stack. Layering adds depth and visual interest.
Try:
- A corset over a blouse
- Fishnets under ripped jeans
- Oversized jackets with mini skirts
- Scarves or belts layered on dresses
3. Balance Color Like a Stylist
Stick to a color palette: 2-3 main colors max, including neutrals.
Winning Color Combos:
- Baby pink + white + silver = Pastel Glam
- Black + red + gold = Vampire Royal
- Beige + olive + brown = Autumn Academia
Avoid clashing neons unless the theme calls for “maximalist” or “kawaii chaos.”
4. Don’t Ignore Hair, Face & Accessories
Outfits without styled hair or a matching face often look incomplete.
Use:
- Hair that matches your vibe (sleek for elegant, messy for edgy)
- A face that expresses mood (sad, fierce, glam)
- Accessories that match the tone: earrings, hats, glasses, bags
Pro tip: Accessories can make or break a look — they show effort.
5. Slay the Runway Like You Own It
Your walk sells the look. Choose the right emote or runway pose.
Pose Examples:
- “Power Strut” for confident looks
- “Float” or “Twirl” for ethereal themes
- “Stomp” for punk or streetwear
- “Shy Turn” for softcore or cottage looks

Secret Hacks to Get Higher Scores
1. Vote Smart, Not Random
Voting affects your visibility. Giving low votes to good outfits can backfire.
Tip: Vote honestly, but strategically. Reward the best AND unique looks, not just who used the most expensive pieces.
2. Use Pose Preview Before Walking
Hit the preview button before your walk to test how your look animates. Sometimes long skirts clip awkwardly or emotes hide your outfit.
Choose the pose that highlights your fit’s best angles.
3. Stand Out with Unexpected Details
Everyone goes for the basic gown or streetwear. Add weird flair to be memorable.
Try:
- A doll mask with a cute dress
- Animal ears on a punk outfit
- Wings for an evil queen
- A floating halo on a demon look
Contrast creates tension — and judges love tension.
4. Use Emojis in Chat for Votes
Engage the audience! Drop emojis or short phrases after you walk:
“Serving fairy realness”
“Royal but make it rebellious”
“Vote if you love goth glam!”
People are more likely to remember your look (and vote for it) if you’re active in chat.
5. Save Go-To Combos in Your Brain
Some outfit combos just work. Memorize a few winning combos for when the timer is short or the theme is vague.
Emergency Go-To Looks:
- “Chic Rebel”: leather jacket + ripped jeans + mohawk
- “Angelic Dream”: white flowing dress + wings + glowing halo
- “Techno Star”: neon pants + light-up boots + goggles
Speed matters, especially in high-level matches!
Advanced Strategy: Read the Room
Every lobby has a vibe. If everyone is doing the same look (e.g., pastel pink fairies), go opposite — maybe a dark elf or silver frost queen. Unique always gets noticed.
Watch what others wear and use contrast to your advantage.
Final Thoughts: Fashion = Confidence + Storytelling
Winning in Dress to Impress isn’t about being the richest player with the most clothes. It’s about creativity, storytelling, and attention to detail.
Every outfit tells a story. Make sure yours says something worth looking at.
So go ahead — bring the drama, own the runway, and always dress to impress.
