Clothing in GTA San Andreas has been significantly expanded over its predecessor, allowing the player to extensively customize clothing the player character wears using the wardrobe room, down to accessories. Articles of clothing are categorized by the stores they were purchased from (see #Clothing stores), following by the types of clothing, including:
- Tops (shirts, jackets, tank tops, etc.)
- Bottoms (pants)
- Shoes
- Watches (worn on the player character's left wrist)
- Necklaces
- Glasses
- Hats
Clothing has a 4% influence on overall Respect, and 50% on Sex Appeal.
Clothing stores
There are six different clothing stores that do business in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Each has a fitting room, where the player may "try on" items before purchasing them. Once an item is purchased, the name of the item changes from blue to green text. Any article of clothing purchased at one of these clothiers is immediately made available in all wardrobes, which are contained in safehouses.
Shooting or aiming a weapon at anyone inside any of these stores will disable purchasing from the shop until you leave.
The range of clothing stores in the game is as follows:

Special outfits
Special clothing are specialized outfits that are awarded to the player via missions and girlfriends, provided in sets that encompass the top, bottom and shoes. While seemingly depicted as independent sets of outfits, the clothes are in fact simply added over the player's normal combination of clothing, as the player's normal top, bottom and shoes are still being worn. The player's watch, hat, necklace and glasses remain visible while wearing a special outfit.
If the player is arrested or killed, the player reverts to their normal clothing after respawning, usually the clothing that the player is wearing before changing to the special outfit.
