10 best Baldur’s Gate 3 armor and clothing mods

The Baldur’s Gate 3 modding community has established itself as one of the most dedicated in the gaming space. Fans of Larian’s critically acclaimed CRPG have expanded on the game in various exciting ways, which, of course, means you can face the Mind Flayers ahead while looking fabulous.

In a title where player customization is important, many of the best Baldur’s Gate 3 mods have expanded upon the game’s armor and clothing options. If you could only choose some to add to your collection, these are the 10 best armor and clothing mods in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Basket Full of Equipment

Basket Full of Equipment is the most extensive armor and clothing mod on this list. It adds over 800 pieces of new equipment to BG3, some of which are brand-new, while other bits are in the game but inaccessible to the player. Orin’s outfit? You got it. Gortash’s robe? Sure, go ahead. You can use Basket Full of Equipment as a base mod to complement the rest of your load order since it’s got plenty of options to choose from.

Cloaks of Faerun

BG3 has a few cloaks to choose from, but more options never hurt anyone. Cloaks of Faerun adds a total of 33 new cloaks into the game, from Common all the way to Legendary.

Mod author Araelynn has placed them carefully throughout the game to help them feel like a vanilla part of the BG3 experience. Each cloak is unique, with powerful effects sure to help you experience the game in new ways.

Faerun Colors (Dye and color sets)

Faerun Colors (Dye and color sets) is a phenomenal Dye kit if you’re seeking more colors for your armor and clothing. It comes with over 90 new stunning dye colors to the game, each “based on deities and famous entities from Faerûn.” It’s lore-accurate, it adds more armor and clothing customization options, and it expands the roleplaying possibilities for players who love to embrace that side of BG3. What’s not to love?

Modular Equipment

Modular Equipment is a mod that only a few players can use, as it’s only compatible with “tall slim femme characters,” according to mod author Wesslen. If that fits the description of your Tav, then it’s a must-download, adding various armor and clothing pieces designed to be interchanged with one another.

These pieces are cleverly made to complement many vanilla items, so you can even use individual items to enhance an outfit comprised mostly of base game clothing and armor pieces, too. There’s even dye support, which works well (for the most part – some items don’t necessarily look like they’re supposed to).

Having more items to work with is nice because it allows you to truly customize your gear and make it your own. The Extra Gear mod is exactly what the name promises and delivers a collection of fresh designs to give you more items to choose from. All of this armor and clothing is rich with details, making it some of the best gear you can get.

Transmog Enhanced

There’s nothing more frustrating than finding gear that has amazing stats but an atrocious appearance, but with Transmog Enhanced, this is an issue of the past. You can use this mod to hide the true appearance of most equipable items, including other modded ones listed on this list. This allows you to create the perfect gear, both in gameplay functionality and design.

Everybody Dyes Unlimited Dyeing

I can never tell what Dye is going to look like before I apply it, so I used to try all of them out, exit without saving, and reload to then choose only the one I want. This process was always quite annoying to me until one day I found Unlimited Dyeing.

Unlimited Dyeing is a game changer because it makes it so Dyes are never consumed upon use. This allows you to recolor your armor and clothing as frequently as you like without worrying about hunting down more of your favorite colors.

Aether’s Black Dye – Item Shipment Framework

Aether’s Black Dye – Item Shipment Framework is a mod that is somewhat surprisingly not in the base game. It’s not exactly complex – it just adds a black dye to BG3, so you can embrace darkness no matter your outfit. This black dye has infinite uses, too, so you can turn your group into a party of goth adventurers if you so desire.

Druu’s Clothes and Armours

Druu’s Clothes and Armours adds a couple of new outfits for your Tav. It’s not a massive selection like something like Basket Full of Equipment, but I loved these outfit options so much that I had to include them.

They’ve got physics support and even allow you to use custom dyes from mods like Faerun Colors (Dye and color sets). Not every player will find a use for Druu’s Clothes and Armours, but I’m confident these outfits are perfect for plenty of playthroughs, especially if you’re looking for a super detailed and unique look.

Modular Skirts

Last but certainly not least, the Modular Skirt mod is a must-have for your Tavs who love wearing skirts. This mod is modular, which means it’s super customizable and designed to pair well with other mods and attire already in BG3, including those listed here, like Basket Full of Equipment.
