Customization Dilemma

[Chromerator]

I want to customize my character with stuff that isn't the normal school uniform, but it just feels off to be the only student walking around not in uniform. Anyone got some head-canon to explain as to why a Hogwarts student wouldn't be in uniform during school hours?

Edit: I'm talking about transmog options.

Just transmog into whatever you want. Visuals are split from attributes for clothing.

That's not what I'm talking about, though I can see why you might think that.

Think I might have the same issue, I like the school uniform and wearing something else seems out of order.
Problem is some gear (some look okay, some others don't or missmatch) is better then what I'm usually wearing (defence and offense seems to go up)
Maybe I'm missing something that clothes can be leveled later on ?

Huh...literally never even thought about that. Seems that the simplest answer can also be the best answer, though still curious what others come up with.

There are some slight color changes like I found one that is the normal school robes, but with gold and house color trim to it. Bought it from clothes shop in Hogsmeade, but could also get lucky as a random drop.

Press [F] while mouse over clothes option and you can change appearance without sacrificing stats, if you didn't know that.

I mean I don't have an exact reason as to why, it's more vague. But we're enrolling as a fifth year, which is apparently highly abnormal. And before we even got to the school a professor was taking us a dangerous adventure.

Plus we're obviously unique or abnormal in some way from the very beginning, with some of the magic stuff going on with us.

So my reasoning is that we are a special circumstance for...everything. For some reason.

I mean. . . you start attending Hogwarts as a 5th year, does being the only one out of uniform seem that odd in comparison?

Didn't think about comparing them. Good point!

Most high-schoolers in the States are used to casual wear for school. Certain schools that are less strict and more 'up with the times' won't even mind the female students to wear something more revealing and that showing a bit of cleavage isn't that uncommon.

But traditional British boarding school, which I firmly believe Hogwarts being one, isn't like that at all. It doesn't offer the students negotiation on what to wear during school days other than school approved uniforms regardless of the Year the student is attending, getting transferred from abroad or whatever. The only chance of wearing casual as an official Hogwarts student is during weekends and field trips outside the school to Hogsmeade or wherever else. Hogwarts however does allow some leeway and that students can ease up a bit in the uniform after school, like loosened up ties and tugged out shirts.

So to OP's question, the only lore friendly solution would be to transmog your clothes real hard and frequent into the correct attire whenever you're in and out of school grounds cuz you'll look outta place by having any other way.

You're a fifth year that just transferred in. It's too late to be in any of the normal cliques, so you decided "Screw it, I'm be my own person" and just said screw tradition, because basically at the end of the day, who is gonna tell you "no" when you can smite them with ancient magic? (also apparently you can't use ancient magic on students which is bull crap)

[Kimahn]

yeah.. in the cutscene you clearly look like the main character. i eventually got back to the default cape
