Dress up and fashion games are a subset of the simulation genre. Players unlock various outfits through the game, dress up characters, and take photos of them wearing their cute outfits. There are often some other mechanics as well, including puzzle, simulation, and sometimes others as well. The games also tend to be more relaxed than most other game genres. There are a ton of fashion games in the Google Play Store and most of them have similar names. It can make finding the good ones a little difficult. Here are some of the best dress up games for Android right now.

Cindy’s Dressup Friends
Price: Free (with ads)
Cindy’s Dressup Friends is a simple, casual dress up game with some decent options. You can get a decent number of outfits along with an unlimited dye system to change the colors to your liking. Additionally, you can change character poses by limb rather than as a whole for some decent overall freedom. You can even put multiple characters in a scene together if you like that. The game is entirely free with no in-app purchases but there are ads. The developer also does Momo’s Dressup if you want something slightly different.
Covet Fashion
Price: Free to play
Covet Fashion is one of the more popular dress up games on Android. It’s a bit different from some of the ones we tested. This one lets you dress up a character with all sorts of various fashions just like the others. However, this one makes it like a mall shopping trip. You can shop various brands, unlock various things, and dress up in various ways. The catch is most of the brands are real. Thus, you can buy, say, Calvin Klein clothes if you want to. There are also some social elements, fashion contests, and more. If you like a particular outfit, you can actually find links to buy the items in real life. It’s kind of neat, actually. The only downside are the game’s free to play mechanics. It’ll either require some real life money or a lot of grinding to get all the stuff you want.
Fabulous series
Price: Free to play
Fabulous is a series of simulation games. The games follow the story of Angela as she conquers a ton of challenges. For instance, in Fabulous – New York to LA, Angela designs a dress for an awards show, but finds that she doesn’t have the time to do the things she really loves. It boasts itself as a time management game so the players design clothes but also try to get Angela to live a good life. In any case, there are several games in the series and most of the revolve around fashion to some extent.
Glu’s dress up games
Price: Free to play
Glu is arguably the champion of the fashion games space. The studio has four huge games in the genre, including Kim Kardashian: Hollywood (linked at the button below), Kendall & Kylie, Nicki Manaj: The Empire, and Britney Spears: American Dream. The first two are true-blue fashion games. You create a character, dress them up, and do various things. Meanwhile, the other two are celebrity simulators with some dress up elements. They are some of the most popular games in the genre if you don’t mind the celebrity tie ins.Â
Love Nikki
Price: Free to play
Love Nikki is an interactive adventure game with heavy dress up game elements. Players explore a world with Nikki while dressing her up in the latest fashions. The game goes outside of the box a little bit with fashion designs from all sorts of genres. Plus, there’s an actual story to play through in case normal dress up games are too simple for you. It’s also free player friendly with plenty of opportunities to earn premium currency. Thus, it’s relatively easy to avoid the free to play mechanics if you really want to.

Mystic Prince Dress Up
Price: Free (with ads)
Mystic Prince Dress Up is a simple, but fun little dress up game. You create a male doll avatar and dress him up in a bunch of cloths. You can do things like change skin color, mix and match various looks, and even customize things like facial expressions and size. This actually works excellently as a character creator for a tabletop RPG (which is how I tested it), but it’s fun to mess around with regardless. The developer has two more fashion games here as well if you want something a little more traditional.
PitzMaker
Price: Free / $1.99
PitzMaker is a different kind of dress up game. This one lets you create characters for various purposes. Some examples include tabletop games or webtoons. The concept is mostly the same, though. You create a character, design them how you want, and that’s it. You can create as many as you want and even create little webtoons with things like speech bubbles. It’s not a dress up game in the classical sense, but it’s a decent and chill app for people who just want to create original characters.
Pocket Clothier
Price: $5.49
Pocket Clothier is something a little bit different. It’s a fashion game where you start and run a successful clothing store. This one is surprisingly deep and you can do things like strategically position mannequins, decide what clothes to sell, and even help customers land that big job with a sweet interview outfit. This one is also faster paced so expect some challenge as well. There are some bugs here and there, but the game only seems to really do badly on lower end devices. It runs for $5.49 with no in-app purchases. We recommend playing it as soon as possible to make sure you like it before the refund time expires.
Shopping Mall Girl
Price: Free to play
Shopping Mall Girl is another mall-style fashion app. Players move around from store to store to try on various outfits before adding them to their collection. There are also makeup, hair, and self-care options (like facials) as well. There is a light rhythm game element to it, but most people shouldn’t have too much trouble with it. This one also features the usual stuff like fashion contests and some other social elements. The game is free to play and that seems to be the cause of most people’s complaints. This one is fun if you don’t mind the grindy part of it.
The Sims Mobile
Price: Free to play
The Sims is, by far, the most popular simulation game ever. It’s technically not a dress up or fashion game, but The Sims contains plenty of elements from the genre to count as one in some cases. Players build a Sim and then build that Sim’s entire life from the ground up. There are also some social elements along with goals to achieve. The Sims FreePlay is also available if this one doesn’t work out. Both games can be buggy for some folks, but they’re both decent overall.
