‘Dress for the job you want,’ they say. But what if your dream job involves getting paid to play video games? Don’t worry, we have got you covered. Our fashion contributor, Sana Bun, has dissected the wardrobes of top streamers to crack the code on their ultimate capsule collection — because even behind a screen, style still matters (apparently).
The first thing that struck me about streamers’ wardrobes was a paradox — one that makes perfect sense yet feels oddly contradictory. While e-athletes invest serious effort (and actual money) into outfitting their in-game characters with the most elaborate gear and accessories, their real-life style is all about simplicity and function. Most of them are minimalists, prioritising comfort above all else, with a few go-to staples they swear by. Here are some of them.
Hoodie
Soft, cosy, warm, and endlessly versatile — the humble hoodie is a streamer ultimate companion in just about any scenario. Whether it is for a quick power nap between marathon gaming sessions, a casual takeaway run, or even a fan meet-up, this staple piece always delivers on comfort.

Make sure you have at least one — opt for neutral, understated shades for everyday wear and a bold, statement print for when you want to stand out. Bonus points if it is your own merch.

Checked shirt
The ultimate ‘I made an effort (sort of)’ staple. Throw it over a T-shirt, and just like that, you have got a look — whether it says ‘casual cool’ or ‘this was on my chair’ is up to you. Cosy, great for layering, and slightly retro, it gives off major ‘tech bro meets indie musician’ vibes — almost convincing enough to suggest you have a life outside of gaming

Bomber jacket
Whether you are looking to add a touch of depth to your outfit with a sleek design or proudly display where your stream donations are going with a bold, branded logo, a bomber jacket is an absolute must-have. It is the perfect way to combine style, comfort, and a little bit of swagger — because why not?

Denim
A pair of classic jeans, a lined jacket, or even a matching two-piece — it isn’t so much about the style of denim you buy or how you wear it, it is just about making sure it finds its way into your wardrobe. After all, denim is one of those timeless staples that works for just about any occasion. Whether you are dressing it up or down, or even wearing it to meet your wax twin at Madame Tussauds, it is that versatile piece you can always rely on.

Suit
If you are serious about climbing to the top of the gaming industry, you can’t make it without a proper suit for those high-end events and awards. The best part? Even if streaming doesn’t land you at the red carpet just yet, at least you will have a sharp outfit ready for weddings.

Statement accessories
Sticking to the unofficial streamer dress code is all well and good, but don’t forget to add that personal touch — embrace your own style, or at least use a few bold accessories to make a statement. Think a funky hat, a pair of glasses, or some eye-catching jewellery to set you apart and make you even more recognisable on streams. After all, it is the little things that turn you into an unforgettable personality.
