No offense, but isn’t this like the 99th version of the same thread? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not opposed to some more stylish outfits in the next game, but still.
Nonetheless, I would actually like if we saw more outfits like in the comics, specifically in the latest post-Rise ones. I’m also 100% for reboot Lara being a woman who doesn’t quite understand fashion (a bit of my own headcanon tbh).. Like sometimes she can really snap with her outfits whereas other times it can look a bit awkward... in an endearing or appreciable way. Just my opinion |

Was gonna say the exact. I feel like the same thread gets repeated in different coatings. and I'm still looking forward to start my own first ever thread on some attractive topic.

I totally agree with the OP. These issues beyond anything else really drag the recent games down a lot for me. I don't get the buzz or excitement to see Lara so serious rather a an edgy sleek character like she was before. I look at the range of female assassin type characters out there and they all have this enigmatic charisma but Lara has thrown away to become more relatable. I find it hard to be endeared to her being so burdened and just want some fun or enjoyment from her. Not wanting to go over old ground I find the recent TR's wardrobe for the most part ugly, bulky and masculine - in need of a major rethink. At least the praise for tactical adventurer and retro updates from the fandom gives the devs a direction to push more.
If the things in the tittle were achieved, the whole reboot could be lifted gigantically and the fandom reaction to the games would improve a lot. I root for the thread title 100%. |

Shes stylish and charismatic in the reboot movie and reboot comics.

Honestly, I don't think Lara should be super stylish. In my mind, she's just not the kind of person who cares too much for fashion or looking pretty. She probably understands it to some degree thanks to her upbringing and she can use that understanding if needed but if it were up to her, she'd just wear practical, comfortable clothing 24/7. That being said, I definitely agree that Lara's personality needs to go back to being more confident, sarcastic, etc.

Now all we get is medieval armor and animal skins, lol. Everyone’s too worried about having everything be so realistic that Laura will get the West Nile virus from a mosquito bite if she wears shorts so we’ve lost that fun in her style. (I do love the green coat in Rise tho) |

It just makes Lara look like silly since literallly all it would do is make her an easier target. |

Woah, how dare you. The reboot games are 100% Realistic™ and practical always. Seriously tho, lol. I think it just goes back to Laura being too pedestrian. Lara Croft is supposed to be larger than life not a relatable girl next door pleb. But for some reason that’s the aesthetic they’re going for and obsessed with, thus her cardboard esque personality is reflected in her unfortunate wardrobe choices. |

Personally, stylish outfits fit more a spy than a tomb raider, but I'll go with whatever they think will be most successful. |
