Best Outfits For Female Sims In The Sims 2

Creating a Sim in The Sims 2 can be daunting, especially when it comes to deciding on outfits. While some clothes from this early-2000s game are delightfully retro, others are painfully dated. Fashion is always marching onward, despite the power of Y2K nostalgia.

Female Sims definitely have the most options when it comes to building a wardrobe, but not all outfits are created equally. The best outfits in the game are either versatile enough to fit any era, or distinctive enough to make everyone’s heads turn. We’ve made a list of some of The Sims 2’s most fashionable fits.

Floral Dress With Bolero

Very Demure, Very Mindful

This is an adorable dress that’s sure to fit a variety of different Sims. Whether you love the coquette aesthetic or just want a more vintage style, you’ll probably never run out of reasons to put this on your Sims.

Like many of The Sims 2’s best outfits, this dress made its first appearance in the Nightlife expansion. It’s not exactly the sort of attire you’d show up to the club in, but we’re glad it’s here. You have a few different pastel-themed color options at your disposal.

Edgy Outfit With Crop Top, Leather Jacket And Ripped Tights

Ow, The Edge!

Finding good outfits for alternative Sims can be difficult. Most alternative subcultures have an element of DIY and embracing your inner weirdness at their core. However, it’s hard to nail down the look perfectly if you’re not part of the scene yourself. This crop top paired with some ripped tights, however, is a step in the right direction.

Despite looking like it belongs in the Nightlife CAS collection, this outfit first showed up as part of the Apartment Life pack. It’s a great fit for any punk, scene, or emo Sims you happen to create, regardless of where you end up putting them.

Corset Top With Jeans

Of Corset Looks Good

Corset tops were highly popular in the early 2000s, and frankly, they should never have gone out of style. They’re a lot of fun, can be worn by themselves or layered with another top, and cinch the waist in an eye-catching fashion. This outfit preset pairs them with a simple pair of jeans and some boots.

The Nightlife expansion introduced this outfit to the world, which honestly makes sense. It’s the perfect attire for a night at the club or a hot date. However, don’t let those suggestions stop you from letting your Sims wear this corset top wherever they want.

Ratty Oversized T-Shirt And Pajamas

The One With The Cola Stain

Pretty much every game in the series lets you wear a T-shirt and pajama pants as a sleepwear option, but this is by far the most realistic version. The T-shirts you see in The Sims 3 and 4 look crisp enough to wear outside the house, which doesn’t quite reflect reality.

It’s great to see outfits and other content in The Sims that accurately reflects real life. Everyone has an old, baggy T-shirt with a mysterious stain that they’d never wear in public. This particular shirt originally appeared in the Nightlife expansion, and it’s probably going to be an indispensable part of many a Sim’s wardrobe.

Halter Strap Dress

If You’ve Got It, Flaunt It

If you’re looking for formalwear options for your Sim, you could do a lot worse than this halter dress. There was a brief window in the early 2000s where cutout dresses and plunging necklines dominated fashion shows, inspiring anyone with the right amount of confidence to flaunt what nature had bestowed upon them.

This dress originally appeared as part of the Glamour Life Stuff pack, which is fitting due to how snazzy it is. It’s the perfect mix of Y2K vibes and genuine style: a bold choice of attire that will let other Sims know just how much more fashionable than them your Sim is.

5

Fur Coat

Screw The Rules, I Have Money!

Sure, most people don’t wear fur coats anymore, but there are still plenty of reasons you might want to dress your Sims up in one. Maybe you want to recreate Ma Bagley in The Sims 2. Maybe your Sim is a wealthy villainness who enjoys kidnapping puppies and rolling around in piles of money.

The most likely reason, however, is that you just needed a historically accurate outerwear option for your rich old-fashioned Sims. Appropriately enough, this glamorous coat appeared as part of the Glamour Life Stuff pack, and is available as outerwear for all adult female Sims.

Cowl Neck Bodysuit

The Sims 2’s Most Heroic Outfit

Bodysuits tend to be underappreciated when it comes to clothing options, but there’s so much you can do with them. This classy cowl neck suit, for instance, allows your Sims to wander about the streets at night while looking like some kind of rogue assassin in a dystopian sci-fi movie.

Okay, perhaps your imagination isn’t running that wild, but it still looks pretty cool. This bodysuit first appeared in the Apartment Life expansion and is available for everyday attire, because every day is the right day to feel like a cool movie assassin.

3

Layered Knit Dress

The Sims 2: Nifty Knitting Stuff

The Sims 2 has a pretty good selection of layered outfits, but some of them are more stylish than others. This adorable ensemble combines a knit dress with a long-sleeved undershirt, making it great for days at your Sim’s favorite coffee shop or other hangouts.

This dress first appeared in Apartment Life, which makes sense when you take one look at how dang cozy it looks. It’s a great clothing option for Sims of just about any walk of life, while still keeping a distinct look.

2

Short Dress With Jacket And Boots

Short Skirt, Long Jacket

While the clothes in The Sims 2’s expansions tend to be a bit more fun than those in the base game, that doesn’t mean the original outfits should be overlooked. The wardrobe options that originally came with the base game allowed players to choose from some simple, sensible outfits.

Boots always pair well with short dresses, and the addition of a blazer gives this ensemble the amount of polish it needs to be appropriate for almost any situation. It’s great if you want your Sims to look at least somewhat professional without seeming too stuffy.

Evening Gown With Sheer Panels

All Glammed Up

Dresses that play around with opacity tend to go in and out of style. Beauty, however, never fades, and this gown is utterly gorgeous. It’s available as a preset in the formalwear category, and will make your Sims look smashing at any gala.

Nightlife truly managed to deliver when it comes to Sims 2 outfits, so it’s no surprise that this dress also has its origins in that pack. Whether your Sim is destined for a night at the opera or just needs to show up in something presentable for their sister’s wedding, this tasteful gown is sure to impress.
