When it comes to shorts, you can only do but so much to create something fresh.
Sure, you can alter the length or cut a fringe design into them.
But aside from that you just have to take them as they are – especially in The Sims.
And then people started embroidering designs into their shorts.
The world was forever changed, and no one ever had to wear boring shorts again!
Maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but I just love the floral designs like these on denim.
There are 8 swatches here with lovely flowers and greenery on both the front and back of the shorts, and you’ll have two options to choose from: frayed or neat.
This tee proves that only using one type of shirt doesn’t have to get dull.
As long as you have plenty of different colors to choose from, it’s like an endless supply!
Why bother trying to find more t-shirts to pad your guy Sim’s closet, when you can just choose one that’s really cool (like this one) and use it again and again?
The rolled sleeves on these make them visually interesting and stylish, and all 20 of the color options are great.
You could use these with shorts, khaki’s, and jeans alike, and they’ll always work.
But sometimes it’s nice to see your Sim in something a little more flattering.
This Riley Sweater from creator Anessasims has a more mature cut. It’s almost cropped, but not quite; with most pants, the bottom of the sweater and the top of the jeans will line up right beside each other.
As such, it’ll give any outfit a more modern appearance.
There are a total of 56 swatches here of both solids and patterns, so… that’s basically a lifetime supply of sweaters for your Sim.
As a kid, I got the majority of my shorts by waiting until the knees of my jeans got so thin my mom snipped the legs off, and voila, cutoff shorts were born.
I know I’m not the only one.
That doesn’t seem to be very common anymore… maybe the quality of jeans got better?
But in any case, it’s a bit of a nostalgic yet classic look that I like to give my Sim kids.
These shorts from Onyx Sims are definitely a little nicer than most of the cutoff shorts I had, but I love them.
They have a nicely detailed denim design and the legs are a little cuffed.
They’re available for both toddlers and children, so all the kiddos in your household can live the jorts life.
You might not think there’s much room to innovate when it comes to pants.
But as it turns out, that’s not quite true.
I’ve never seen anything quite like these Paperbag Trousers from Colorful Plumbobs, and now I feel like I’ve been deprived.
They are honestly gorgeous and have a very original design.
The waist is a little ruffled and belted with a bow. Whatever swatch you choose, that bow will match the pants. And the floral design is just gorgeous!
If you’re someone who almost always puts your Sims in skinny jeans because other types of pants seem unflattering, then these are definitely for you.
They have large baggy legs, but not at all in a bad way.
Overalls might just be one of the best inventions ever.
Not only are they incredibly practical, but amazing for casual outfits, too.
They’ve gotten pretty popular over the past few years, and don’t show any signs of slowing down. Tons of people still love to wear them with sweaters, cropped tees, long-sleeved shirts for a whole range of occasions.
This creator, Nords, brought some of the best things this trend had to offer together.
These overalls have an amazing & detailed denim texture, right down to the frayed design on the legs.
And the shirt layer fits right in, with a short-sleeved cropped tee.
You’ve probably heard the term “business casual” but have never really thought much about applying it to your Sims.
I mean, unless you have Get To Work, their job is just somewhere they disappear to for several hours per day – then return home in a rather unfashionable outfit that you immediately change them out of.
But this Rosemary Outfit will bring that classy vibe you wish your Sim’s real work outfit had home.
It’s a skirt and blazer set, and a very chic one at that.
Many of the blazers in-game, for both men and women, have a rather dowdy appearance.
This is like it was specifically tailored for your Sim, though.
The fit is great all around.
It also comes in 38 swatches, including unique swatches as well as some patterns like plaid.
Chances are you have more than just some t-shirts, sweaters, and a handful of crop tops.
To give your Sims some clothes that look more interesting, you don’t really have to go far into the CC realm. These creators are amazing at making looks just like you yourself would snatch up off the rack, and this top from Bowl Of Plumbobs is no exception.
It has a sort of puffy, layered sleeve design and a little knot at the bottom, both of which make this top very cute.
There are 26 swatches total here, including solids as well as florals.
You can never have too many casual dresses, honestly.
The smallest alterations can make a dress look completely different.
Changing out the jewelry or shoes can reinvent the whole look.
All of that will be super easy with a dress as lovely as this one.
It has a skater style, with shirt sleeves, a scoop neck, and a short length.
There are 50 swatches in total here, including 40 solids and 10 pattern designs.
Because of the style and amount of swatches, you can do all sorts of things with this CC. Choose a fall-toned swatch and some leggings for a cozy Harvestfest outfit, or go with a bright color and some sandals for a spring look.
Now that we know we’ll be having a real music festival in the game, these pants are especially appropriate.
They were created with just that sort of vibe in mind, and cover a huge array of styles, interests, and identities.
The pants themselves come in dozens of designs, including denim swatches and bright, fun colors.
But the patches are what really make them special.
Your Sims can sport everything from Star Wars, Voidcritters, LGBTQIA+ and more.
Like… a lot more.
There are 86 swatches here in total, for both males and females, and there are a ton of different fandoms and general Maxis Match styles to choose from.
Sometimes you just want something that says your Sim just rolled out of bed and pulled on the first pair of jeans he found on the floor, and that’s okay.
Seriously though, these jeans are actually an amazing creation.
And they’re a nice change of pace from the more prim and proper, almost skinny jeans we have so much of already.
These are the jeans of a guy who’s a little rough around the edges and doesn’t mind getting dirty. He knows his pants are up to the job, after all.
The denim texture here is really great, and the cuffing at the bottom of the pants a nice touch, too.
I’m sure it was no easy feat, but these baggy jeans look fantastic!
It’s actually become quite a hobby in recent years for people to find them, as well as other goodies from thrift stores.
For many people it’s about aesthetics, for others it’s just the thrill of finding a bargain.
But either way, your Sims can always use more stylish t-shirts.
These will be an awesome addition to your Sim’s everyday wardrobe.
They have cuffed sleeves, and all 10 swatches have some vintage designs.
When it comes to casual outfits I can’t think of a much better way to make your Sim look more like a real dude, without deviating from the game’s style.
That’s the beauty of Maxis Match.
These Simlish sayings still look right at home in the game, every though they’re all CC items.
No one can resist the temptation of comfy & stylish clothes that also serve many purposes.
As the creator of this Molly Outfit says herself, it’s something that can be worn as an everyday outfit, working out, or chilling at home.
And that is indeed the beauty of clothes like this.
Honestly, finding sets that look this good in real life can be difficult. I guess that’s all the more reason to let your Sims live out their best lives… they have easier access to better clothes!
There are 44 swatches here, including solids as well as some pretty cool designs like lightning.
There’s nothing more dashing than a man in a suit… a good suit.
It’s probably not often that your Sims wear their Formal clothes. But even so, you’ll still want them to have something great.
Whether they’re going to a fancy party, out on a date, or to a wedding, their appearance is very important.
You don’t want them to get confused for a townie because of their clothing, do you? Never! The horror!
These suits are some of the best ones I’ve ever seen, both in form and style.
They have a much nicer look than many others, and the swatches really make them special.
You’ll have plenty to choose from too with 56 total swatches in total, including a ton of solids and patterns to suit any occasion.
Haha get it? Suit? Anyway…
These are a fantastic Maxis Match choice to add to your game, since they “feel” a little more modern and fun than most of the other suits, which just have the usual dark swatches.
