Disco Elysium is a narrative game revolving around the murder mystery that you must solve. You play as a detective who has lost his memories of, well, everything at the bottom of a bottle. You can play as any type of cop, depending on what stats you choose and what skills you upgrade as the game goes. As you explore Revachol, you will come across some pieces of clothing that will get you some benefits, such as skill points or achievements – but how do you put those fashion items together? Don’t worry – today I will be your stylist. Here are 10 Disco Elysium outfits I put together for you.
I didn’t list every clothing category for every outfit, and it’s up to you to fill in the blanks. Pick whatever suits your fashion and skill needs!
10. Yeah, I Was in the Military
This jacket will definitely make others listen to you
The benefit of losing your memories is a chance to invent literally any past for yourself. Why not simply pretend to be a former military member? Become attentive, well-spoken, and collected, like a real cop with military experience (that you definitely have).

Doesn't that just scream "cool cop"?

6. Man of Enamel
This T-500 is somehow intimidating while also impossible to take seriously
A detective’s work is dangerous, so you better suit up in this sturdy vitreous enamel armor. You will look distinctly un-fashionable, but nonetheless intimidating and very… durable? The cuirass can stop a bullet, by the way, if that ever comes in handy.
