[April 2026] VRChat Outfit Trend Report on Booth

A look back at the new outfits published on Booth in April 2026 that gathered the most likes, paired with the data. April was "the all-purpose-outfit arms race climbing even higher (Top 10 averaging ~20 avatars), plus a thick layer of dark, Japanese and gothic styles, and a wider unisex push." The Top 10 was full of darker, heavily-built outfits — a gothic sailor, a cat-hood hoodie, a dragon cheongsam, a yokai kimono, a military coat and a mafia suit.

Top 10 Outfit Picks

Ranked by like count as of the aggregation date (May 2026), here's a look at the craft behind each one.

#1: Crimson Rumor / CYCR (Cyber Critter)

A Japanese-modern gothic sailor outfit on a white-silver-haired, blue-eyed avatar: a black sailor collar, a crimson scarf and a navy jacket, finished with red tassels and a halo where deep crimson and dark blue cross. It took the solo #1 spot for April 2026 outfits (11,055 likes at aggregation). It's a new release from CYCR (Cyber Critter) — the creator behind the popular outfit "Midnight Fox 2.0" — and it sits in the shop's signature line of "outfits that ship with matching hair."

The product splits into outfit-only, full set, and full set with hair packages, so you can either match the whole look including the hairstyle or just put the outfit on your existing hair. It covers 19 avatars — Shinano, Milltina, Manuka, Chocolat, Selestia and more — with per-avatar shape keys for the chest, corset and hips. The outfit body runs 188,534 polygons with 55 PhysBone components, built on lilToon and a Modular Avatar workflow. With all those sleeve and skirt decorations, the swaying physics are tuned to match.

#2: Kyro Neko Hoodie / Kuroneko

An oversized cat-eared hoodie paired with a bikini and a choker — a dark-cute street set that suits a neon night. With a friendly ¥890–¥1,780 price range and 26-avatar compatibility, it landed at #2 (9,393 likes at aggregation).

The lineup is busy in a good way: separate parts for the cat-eared hood, an oversized choker with a leash and paw-pad foot jellies. The hood works as a toggle between "worn" and "pushed back" in-game, and the bikini has its own lift-the-jacket / tug-the-underwear toggles. The 26 supported avatars run from staples like Airi, Shinano, Milltina and Manuka to male bodies like Minase, Kanata, Komano and Bokusei. Male-avatar single packages drop the bikini and stockings entirely, and the Kipfel version skips the bikini gimmick at a slightly lower price. It's built on VCC + Modular Avatar 1.16.2 + lilToon 2.3.2, and the MA-ready prefab just drops under your avatar.

#3: BOO / FOXYPLAY

A ghost hat over a sheer white mini dress — a Halloween-leaning set that lands between sexy and cute, complete with a garter and sandals. It reached #3 (9,153 likes at aggregation). It's a new release from FOXYPLAY — the creator behind "STRYDE," February 2026's #1 outfit.

It covers 18 avatars — Shinano, Milltina, Manuka, Shinra, Mizuki and more — with per-avatar shape keys not just for the chest but for the waist and corset (Waist_Slim / Waist_Corset) too. The product page notes upfront that the off-shoulder design can clip around the underarms, and that the smaller shape keys are meant to be used with PhysBone off. It ships as a Unity Package + MaterialPack + PSD, on lilToon (with RimShade). The sheer dress and ghost motif are kept on a line that's neither too prim nor too sweet.

#4: Setsurei / RINNETOKYO

A cheongsam with dragon embroidery on black, paired with a red sash, tassels and a white fur stole — a grown-up look leaning Japanese and dark. #4 (7,517 likes at aggregation). It's a new release from RINNETOKYO — the creator behind "Eye of the Moon Fox," July 2025's #1 outfit.

It covers 21 avatars including Shinano, Milltina, Ichigo, Airi and Manuka. Like Eye of the Moon Fox, the natural arm movement is built with a Rotation Constraint, so the latest Modular Avatar is required — and the page warns upfront that putting VRCFury and MA in the same project can break the arms. The outer layer has an Object Toggle for clip prevention, so wearing it automatically turns off the back cloth. The hair, dragon horns and tail are offered separately as a collaboration with MOMORI called "Astel-hair", so you can push the dragon motif further if you combine them. Ships as Unity Package + MaterialPack + PSD.

#5: Yokai Butterfly Kimono / #Sinicat3

A yokai-themed kimono in black and red, layered with red horns, a large butterfly-like ribbon, hair ornaments and tassels, finished with a black parasol. #5 (6,846 likes at aggregation). Its jet-black-and-red take on a dark Japanese world really stands out even within the Top 10.

It covers 20 avatars — Airi, Chiffon, Chocolat, Lime, Manuka and more, including Lapwing and MARUBODY bodies. There are a lot of parts, and the page lists the swaying physics directly: 32 PhysBone components and 9 colliders. It comes Modular-Avatar-ready, with dress-up and coordinate swaps from the Expression menu, and on top of lilToon it asks you to install UnlitWFShader in advance for the lamé and glow textures. The parasol is included as a prop that works nicely for photo composition.

#6: NEVER OVER - Glitch / VELLIE

A logo cap over a sporty striped jacket, a crop top and denim shorts — a street-and-punk set with chains and laced leg straps for edge. #6 (5,979 likes at aggregation). It's a new release from VELLIE — the creator behind the popular "Urban Grace - City" — and the latest in the shop's ongoing urban-street line.

It covers 20 avatars including Shinano, Milfy, Airi, Shinra, Manuka and Moe, with per-avatar chest and waist shape keys (Waist_slim / Waist_corset) and a Shrink shape key for minor clipping. Built on VCC + Modular Avatar + lilToon, it even got post-launch updates fixing the Lumina fit and the choker weights. The colorway is a black / white / light-blue sporty palette.

#7: HINOs 5th Anniversary / Sunny-Side Step / HINO shop

An off-shoulder long tee with black bottoms, a garter, a beret and a shoulder bag — a casual street summer outfit. Released for HINO shop's 5th anniversary, it landed at #7 (5,703 likes at aggregation).

The highlight here is the breadth of 16 color variations. The product images line up per-avatar fitting examples — on Chocolat, Plum and others — and the set includes both plain hot pants and a plaid mini skirt, so you can swing the mood widely on the same silhouette. It covers 12 avatars — Shinano, Ramune, Milltina, Manuka, Eku and more. At roughly 46,000 polygons, 16 materials and 18.5 MB of textures it's on the light side, and the cap has its own adjustment shape keys. Built on VRChat SDK 3.10.3 + Modular Avatar 1.16.2 + lilToon 2.3.2.

#8: Volkov / BLVK

A military-style long coat in deep crimson and jet black, with a fur collar and claw accessories — a dark-military outfit. #8 (5,550 likes at aggregation). It's a new release from BLVK, made as a collaboration with Anoyo.

It covers 30 avatars in total: 16 male bodies and 15 female bodies — the highest count in this Top 10. The male side runs from Minase, Komano, Baku, Nakiya, Hanka, Kanata and Kuuta to the +Head shared body, and the female side covers Lumina, Airi, Shinra, Shinano, Milltina and more, with Lapwing, Mao, Mamehinata and Usasaki included on both. You wear it via an MA-ready prefab (v1.14+ recommended) or by adjusting BlendShapes with the included alpha mask. The fur material is optimized to keep the load down, and the model (by Girumon and Nerro) runs 128,195 polygons. Post-launch, prefab fixes for +Head, Milfy and others were stacked up over a short span.

#9: Boss Mafia / PandaStic

A pinstripe vest and shorts with a long coat, hat, sunglasses and a cigar — a mafia-style formal set in heavy monotone. #9 (5,326 likes at aggregation). It's a unisex set with separate contents for women's and men's bodies.

It covers 18 avatars — women's bodies like Milltina, Lumina, Shinra, Manuka and Sio, plus male bodies like Minase, Komano, Kanata, Hanka, Kuuta, the +Head shared body and Baku. The items split into a coat, arm ribbon, hat, sunglasses, boots (shoes for men), necktie, vest, gloves and more, at 65,645 polygons for women and 60,668 for men. The cigar is provided as a separate file you can place freely on the hand or mouth. Rather than touching the outfit's shape keys directly, you fit it by adjusting the avatar's own shape keys through Modular Avatar.

#10: Zzz Cozy Set / KIKUKA

A fluffy knit pajama set rounded out with a fuzzy hair band, slippers and even a toothbrush — loungewear for time at home. A white-based piece with a black ribbon at the chest, it reached #10 (5,277 likes at aggregation).

It covers 15 avatars — Airi, Milltina, Milfy, Manuka, Moe and more. It packs 100 shape keys, and UV color editing lets you recolor the hair band, slippers, pajama top and bottom, toothbrush and fur individually. Built on lilToon + Modular Avatar, with the hair band sized to each avatar's default hair. Post-launch it added support for Milltina and Misaki, and with playful props like the toothbrush held in the mouth, the whole set lands on a relaxed, laid-back mood.

April 2026 Trends

Rather than the ranking, let's read the trends from all 284 outfits published on Booth in April.

Metric	Value
Items	284
Average likes	1,529.2
Median likes	961
Average price	¥1,088
Median price	¥1,000
Top 10 avg. supported avatars	~20
Modular Avatar frequency	204 / 284 (~72%)

Median 961 likes, average 1,529. The Top 10's average supported-avatar count climbed to about 20, with all-purpose outfits tightening their hold on the top. The median price dropped a notch to ¥1,000 (from ¥1,200 the previous month), with items concentrated in the ¥500–1,999 range. Modular Avatar frequency hit about 72%, so MA-based setup is now almost fully the standard line.

Supported models: Shinano, Milltina and Manuka still lead

Shinano leads with 196, then Milltina (158) and Manuka (154) — the top three all clear 150. Chocolat (133), Milfy (124), Airi (121), Lumina (115), Mayo (114), Rurune (109) and Chiffon (108) follow. When a new outfit picks which bodies to support first, locking in Shinano, Milltina and Manuka is the line that reads as "reaches buyers fastest."

Meanwhile the Top 10 supports broadly across the board — as a street example, here's a 26-avatar unisex outfit built around damaged jeans and a cap that works on either male or female bodies.

Outfit type: dresses lead by count, but the Top 10 skews Japanese / uniform / formal

By count, the top types are one-piece dresses (48), dresses (35), uniforms (32), jackets (31), boots (31) and short pants (30). Across the category, one-pieces and dresses are the biggest blocks, but the Top 10 was taken by #1 gothic sailor (uniform), #4 dragon cheongsam, #5 yokai kimono, #8 military coat and #9 mafia suit — leaning Japanese, uniform and formal. The genres that are common by count differ from the ones gathering likes at the top this month.

As a one-piece example, here's a yumekawaii loungewear one-piece wrapped in pastel frills for time at home.

Taste: girly and sexy by count, dark / Japanese / gothic in the Top 10

The top tastes are girly (71), sexy (70), casual (61), dark (57), cute (53), cool (47), street (46) and gothic (41). By count, girly and sexy are neck-and-neck out front, but the Top 10 was dominated by dark, Japanese and gothic — #1 gothic sailor, #4 cheongsam, #5 yokai kimono, #8 military and #9 mafia. The popular-by-count tastes and the top-gathering tastes split apart, which is the read of the month.

As a dark example, here's a gothic doll-style one-piece with an Atlas-moth (swallowtail) motif. Its jacket lamé and frills glow softly in the dark — a piece for female avatars.

Color: black and white dominate

Color breaks down as black (169), white (140), red (32), pink (24), blue (24), gray (23) and light blue (23). Black and white are the two pillars, outpacing third-place red by four-to-five times — a monotone-heavy month. The Top 10 was largely black-based too: Crimson Rumor, Kyro, Setsurei, the yokai kimono, Volkov and Boss Mafia.

As a black example, here's a tactical-style workwear piece built around belts and a harness — a navy jumpsuit layered with black gear for near-future roleplay.

Accessories: ribbons clearly out front

The accessories bundled with outfits top out at ribbons (62), chokers (33), belts (31), chains (27), hats (26), bags (21) and neckties (20). Ribbon inclusion is clearly out front, in step with the thickness of girly and cute styles. The chokers, belts and chains that follow are the small parts working for dark and street looks.

As a ribbon example, here's a sleeveless sailor one-piece with a flower headdress and a ribbon — a tidy, monotone, prim piece.

Price: about 86% sits between ¥500 and ¥1,999

Price breaks down as free (19), ¥1–499 (7), ¥500–999 (107), ¥1,000–1,999 (138), ¥2,000–2,999 (7), ¥3,000–4,999 (5) and ¥5,000+ (1). The two bands from ¥500 to ¥1,999 hold 245 items (about 86%), and the median ¥1,000 dropped a notch from the previous month (¥1,200). Like #2 Kyro (¥890, 26-avatar support), outfits pairing a low price with broad compatibility surfaced at the top — continuous with this distribution.

As a ¥500–999 example, here's a monotone oversized-hoodie street outfit.

April trends from an outfit creator's view

From the Top 10 and the April-wide numbers, here are four axes worth noting from an outfit creator's side. I've lined up three months so the changes against the February and March reports are visible.

Metric	Feb	Mar	Apr

Median price	¥1,300	¥1,200	¥1,000
Median likes	819	837	961

Notes for outfit creators:

Wrap-up

April 2026's new outfits read as "the all-purpose-outfit arms race climbing even higher, a thick layer of dark / Japanese / gothic styles, and a wider unisex push." The Top 10 had the crimson-and-navy gothic sailor "Crimson Rumor" take the solo #1, followed by a cat-hood hoodie, a ghost dress, a dragon cheongsam, a yokai kimono, a street set, a military coat and a mafia suit — a lineup full of darker, heavily-built outfits.

Across the category, one-pieces and dresses lead by count and girly / sexy lead by taste, yet the Top 10 was taken by Japanese / uniform / formal cuts in dark and gothic styles — the popular-by-count and the top-of-the-ranking faces split apart this month. Color was a black-and-white two-pillar affair, price concentrated about 86% in the ¥500–1,999 range, and the median fell to ¥1,000.

From a creator's view, this was a month where the Top 10's average supported-avatar count climbed to about 20, and both the low-price-plus-broad-compatibility pattern (Kyro, ¥890, 26 avatars) and unisex coverage reaching male bodies (Volkov, Boss Mafia) lined up as top-tier formulas. Modular Avatar frequency rose to about 72%, and adding avatar support after release continues. "Cover broadly by count," "make entry easy with price" and "widen the audience with unisex coverage" all meshed with the month's dark / Japanese / gothic tastes — that was the shape of April 2026's new outfits.
