My vote goes to Parsee and Shoutoku no Miko (can't decide between the two of them).

While I do love that little troll, I can't say that she's the best dressed... rather the worst. Brown, blue, purple, red ribbons, together with blonde hair... And too many layers. But that's also part of her appeal.

My favourite is probably Yukari's IN dress. I've always liked Hina's style too. Reimu and Marisa are simple, but neat.
I don't know if it's all that fashionable, but Seija's design is amazing. She's certainly one of the coolest designs ZUN has ever done.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Remilia, though. She can be pretty fancy.

I'll second the "everyone in DDC looks great" sentiment. Kagerou might have my favorite outfit in the whole series.

And I like Satori's clothing a lot too. It's so un-fashionable it's fashionable. Definitely looks like something she was just wearing around her house when you rudely interrupted her, and in a land where everyone has the most complicated clothes ever, casual is cool.
I made a PADHerder. It's probably out of date though.

I totally forgot to mention her. But yes, I also like her style a lot. It looks really elegant with those ribbons and all. For some reason she reminds me of a Rozen Maiden character. :)

I also prefer PC-98 Reimu's design over the Windows one. I dunno, back then she looked more like an actual miko with those traditional clothes. Not trying to say the current design is bad, but I just happen to prefer the old one.

Sweetness and love~ ♥

Most of DDC's cast was pretty well dressed
Sekibanki's clothes were cool and suited her
Kagerou was very refined
Seiga gets points for creativity, flipping her bow and what not
Sukuna gets points because bowl-hat
And Raiko probably has the most modern outfit in the series in my opinion
I liked Yukari's outfit in the fighters
Marisa gets points for keeping it fresh, changing almost every game
I've always been fond of Nue's outfit as well, it's so simple but it works
Kasen just gets points for being Kasen, but her outfit is pretty awesome too
were we only supposed to pick one? This is to hard......

I think Yuyuko, Byakuren, and Miko all have great outfits. In Miko's case though I only really thought that after seeing fanart of her. :P


And maybe Yukari and Aya? Though I like Aya's design for more than her outfit, like the way her wings are part of the color scheme.

Kagerou, not sure if the wolf ears have anything to do with it...

Raiko's outfit is just awesome. I'd have to say in term of sheer appeal, Raiko doesn't just blow everyone out of the water, she destroys the water. :p
Otherwise, I'm rather fond of Yuuka's dress, as its simplicity meshes well with the flower fields she commonly resides.
That time, is breakfast time!

I'm shocked no one mentioned the Watatsuki sisters to be honest. I think that blouse with dress combo looks super stylish (along with the belt and hat/ribbon). Though I definitely do share the sentiment that TH14 characters look very well-dressed and pretty much just any character named here.

Raiko would be the most acceptable if we go in terms of Outside World fashion. she'd fit right in with a jazz ensemble

I have a soft spot for Mokou's outfit as well. she knows her outfit coordination, you gotta admit!

Komachi's outfit is pretty nice. Shinmyoumaru, Seija, Futo and Tojiko too. Kyouko has a lovely color scheme and Raiko deserves some extra brownie points for being Michael Jackson.

For EoSD, patchouli- pajamas are awesome; I think the strongest argument for Gensokyo being a legitimate paradise is that one is able to get away with wearing them 24-7.
PCB gives us Youmu's outfit, which I like because it somehow looks like a servant's uniform despite avoiding the usual cliches of maid or butler suits. Alice's is pretty stylish too, what with the colours and ribbons and hairband and shawl.
IN has Yukari's cool outfit, and PoFV yields Yuuka's, both of whom look very well dressed in some art floating around the net.

There are a few others that I think qualify, but these are probably the main ones.

Incidentally, mop hats and parasols and hand fans form the three imperial regalia of Japanese fashion, so Yukari wins in the end, I should think.

I am a sucker for Yukari's purple dress.

Aya's professional look is also appealing.

Recently, Mamizou's business suit is just awesome.

Raiko would be the most acceptable if we go in terms of Outside World fashion.

Raiko is specifically 'borrowing energy' of modern drums, so her outfit probobly reflects that she is literally drawing her power from the modern world. She's a 'Modern Tsukumogami'. In fact; since Tsukumogami are literally the spirits of the item, Raiko's 'clothing' is literally an extension of her modern drumset. So it's natural that her clothing would be modern.

That said if we wanna get really technical; theoretically Raiko shouldn't even count, since her 'body' is just a spiritual manifestation created by the drums and thus there is no real clothing. The same goes for all Tsukumogami. [Kogasa, Benben, ect] That said; a lot of this depends on your headcanon on how Tsukumogami work. As far as I am concerned the human portion of a Tsukumogami is an illusion created by the item to better express and represent themselves. Which is why Raiko looks modern, or at least recent, and Kogasa has Heterochromia [Kogasa actually only has one eye. So her other eye is blue to match the rest of the projection's base color, although why her outfit is blue and not purple I don't know, perhaps because she is rather easily upset]

Oppose Poltergheists, who are not the objects, but are spirits possessing objects they chose [And can switch objects if they desire]. The Primsrivers; and other ghosts, probobly do have [spectral] wardrobes. Unless they are stuck wearing whatever they were wearing when they died.

tl;dr: I overthink things sometimes.

I don't even remember who put the above in my sig. [Wasn't me] Nor do I understand why I keep it here anymore.
Those two facts sum me up pretty well.

On the ghosts having different wardrobes, Yuyuko does this (and her clothes are pretty).  In SSiB she has a wide variety of different patterns on her kimonos and she usually does not wear the same one from previous games.

Definitely agree with this. I also like Byakuren's crisscross black and white dress, pretty unusual in a place with hundreds of colorful wardrobes. Also Youmu just for the little ghosties on the hem of her skirt. Absolutely Fashonaaaabluh

To add some more
New character Sumirenko has the most epic "evil villain" get-up in the entire series, gotta love capes with transdimensional patterns in them, even if Utsuho did it first

I agree, Sumireko's outfit is awesome!  Though I guess having some aspects of Renko's outfit helps.  Renko has a really nice outfit herself, as does Maribel.   Oh, and Sumireko's hat...  for all we know she handed it down to Renko.

I do have a soft spot for the more simple clothed ones myself. Rumia, Cirno, PCB Yukari, Mokou, Shizuha, etc. Also Satori and Koishis clothing I like for some reason, especially Koishi's hat.

Jesus, everybody really loves Raiko don't they? I will admit, however, that she's definitely one smooth criminal.

I love Sumireko's outfit, especially that rune cape.

After saying that, though, Raiko has pretty nice clothes, and Yukari, Kasen, Shinmyoumaru and Shou too.  And Suwako, solely because of the facial expressions of the frogs on her dress.

They're all very well-dressed, really.

I love Meiling's outfit. It's simple and sweet. Seiga's outfit is really pretty as well, I love her little vest. Yukari's IN dress is great, too. Keine's dress is one of my favs also.

Sumireko's clothes really are pure win. The only thing i don't particularly like are the glasses, because i don't like them i general, but i admit they add some appeal to her whole mysterious appearance.
I'd like to see ZUN's concept for her though, to see how he actually imagined her.

You know what I find funny about Sumireko? Her glasses, her hair and her look remind me of ZUN's wife.  :V

Here is a picture of her for you to compare:

Everything in touhouvania was awesome, I was always particularly fond of Patchouli's outfit in those games, I liked the hood  :P

Anyway, I believe the true question still lies in who has the best hat?  :derp:

The best hat? Marisa wins again. The flat one in Touhouvania, again. With the which one she looks a bit stereotypical.

If you wanna go for hats, I think Mamizou leaf Shikieiki wins. Elaborate and elegant, and imposing.

While I DO love Shikieiki's I also really like Iku's and Tenshi's
Also Shinmyoumaru (I always have to look up the spelling on that one) and her bowl-hat are the greatest
Meiling's is cool and simple
Strangely enough, my favorite is actually Letty, it's just so....... COOL looking  :dealwithit:
but seriously I really do like it, she's my favorite stage one boss
