Clothes and their uses

[Xyteno Sane]

in the shop there is a diving helmet you can wear. first does it actually make it so you can stay under water longer or is it just for looks? second if it does work are there any other clothes that do it? i do not mean the things in the equipment section of our craft menu i mean like the fishing hat or pirate hat...

Only equipment that you make yourself give you some useful bonuses.

Purely cosmetic.

The only cosmetic item that even comes close to having a useful effect is the Anglerfish Head, as it gives off some light.
However even that is massively outshined (bud-um t'ish) by either of the Head Lights.

There is however an item (well, two technically) you can get at the trading post that's able to help you stay underwater for longer. The Salmon Salad recipe, which also needs Turmeric, increases lung capacity.
