With a constantly rotating selection of gear to purchase from the stores after reaching level 4, and unlockable Amiibo outfits to boot, there are countless options available. Here are some pieces that are sure to make you stand out from both your team and the competition.

11 School Uniform

The School Uniform is about as classic as it gets for Splatoon 2. So classic, in fact, that when Super Smash Bros. Ultimate added the Inkling to its roster of playable characters, one of its eight available alternate costumes was an Inkling in the School Uniform with bright purple hair.

This outfit can be scored by scanning your Inkling Girl Amiibo. Featuring a clean navy blazer, cream-colored vest, and quintessential red tie, the School Uniform is both simple and cute. Go kick some butt in those black loafers.

10 Moist Ghillie Suit

Yeah. "Moist" is not exactly the word you want to be hearing when you think of clothing. If you were looking to embrace your inner squid, the Moist Ghillie Suit is a fun and quirky costume option. Albeit, a squid that has unfortunately been trapped in netting and stuck in clumps of seaweed.

The Moist Ghillie Suit can be purchased from either Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe or SplatNet Gear Shop, and it comes with the "Ink Saver" primary ability, which will help you decrease the amount of ink your sub weapons use.

9 Fresh Fish Gloves

Ripped from the Fresh Fish mascot, who is essentially an eerie Mickey Mouse parody, garbing yourself in the Fresh Fish costume, or even just the Fresh Fish Gloves, is a great look "for the memes", or if you want to just have a laugh at yourself. The full costume can be obtained from scanning your Octoling Octopus Amiibo, and each part comes with a unique ability to aid your combat.

8 Whale-Knit Sweater

Few things could make you feel more ready for battle than standing alongside your team dressed in full traditional Samurai garb. With the Samurai Jacket and matching Samurai Helmet, you can jump back into the Edo Period of Japan and become a true samurai warrior.

That is if instead of a katana, a Samurai wielded a Splat Roller. The full Samurai set can be snagged by scanning your Inkling Boy Amiibo, and each piece comes with a primary ability.

Imagine piloting a mecha suit in Splatoon 2. With the Mecha Body - AKM equipped, you do not have to. This extremely rare set of clothing - completed by the Mecha Head -HTR and Mecha Legs -LBS - was only made available due to a promotion created by CoroCoro Comic in Japan.

This monthly manga magazine held a drawing competition in 2019 challenging Splatoon 2 fans to design their own set of gear. The winner, picked to be released with Japanese copies of the game, was the Mecha set. It comes with the Sub Power Up, and when worn, you can even see smoke subtly puffing from the suit.

3 Steel Platemail

You load into a game of Turf War, only to see that the entire enemy team is decked out in full plated armor, looking like the calvary is coming for you, Splattershots in hand. Scary, right? If you have the Octoling Boy Amiibo, you can channel your inner King Arthur by donning the Steel Platemail, Helm, and Greaves.

If you were lucky enough to participate in the Knight vs. Wizard Splatfest event in 2019, your Splatfest Tee would magically transform into the Steel Armor, so that you too could experience knighthood.

2 Marinated Top

"Marinated" is another word that you normally would not expect to be used to describe clothing, but in this instance, it is actually a play on words based around the darling Marina.

The top comes with the Special Power Up ability. You can snag the look for yourself by scanning the Marina Amiibo.
