Here's my look back at the 10 most-liked outfits published on Booth in May 2026, data included. What stood out this month, beyond the garments themselves, was how many creators designed the release itself — giveaways, launch events, and bundles all built into the plan.
At the top sits a sweet-and-edgy jirai-kei mini dress with a black enamel cat-ear beret and heart-shaped buttons (11,275 likes — and it's free). Let's start there and go through the lineup one outfit at a time.

10 Outfit Picks
Ranked by like count at aggregation time (July 2026), here are the 10 picks with what makes each one special.
#1: Melty Calling / ♥MM♥
A sweet-and-edgy jirai-kei coordinate pairing sheer pink detached sleeves with a black corset-style mini dress lined with heart-shaped buttons. A black enamel cat-ear beret, a chain shoulder bag, knee-highs, and platform shoes complete the set — and the whole thing is a free release. It took sole first place among May 2026 outfits (11,275 likes at aggregation time).
This is a new release from ♥MM♥, the creator behind the popular Pom Pom Kiss, made to celebrate 5,000 followers. ♥MM♥ has released a free outfit at each follower milestone, widening the roster of supported avatars every time. The giveaways themselves have become the shop's signature — a release strategy that clearly works.
Colors come in four patterns — pink, white, and black plus a houndstooth version. It supports 10 avatars including Shinano, Manuka, Milltina, and Mayo, with body shape keys specified individually per avatar. The setup assumes lilToon and Modular Avatar.
#2: After-School Distortion / EXTENSION CLOTHING
A navy blazer school uniform built around the concept of a classroom at sunset. A white shirt, a ribbed cardigan, plaid skirts and slacks, and a school bag with a rabbit plush hanging off it pack the whole after-school mood into one set. It landed at #2 (10,885 likes at aggregation time).
This is a new release from EXTENSION CLOTHING, the creator behind the popular Seventh Special Operations Agency "Valkyrie", and the third entry in the shop's numbered 2026 lineup. The page went up on May 29 with sales announced for June 5 — a tease-first release style that has become part of how each entry in the series builds anticipation.
The fun of this uniform is its hand-held item gimmick. A glitter-decorated flip phone, a milk tea carton, and a photo-sticker album can each be held via hand signs, so you can strike that "offering the phone to the camera" pose straight out of the box. Dress-up variations are generous too — tie the cardigan around your waist or roll up the sleeves from the menu.
Support covers 22 avatars across both body types — 14 feminine bodies including Shinano, Lumina, and Manuka, plus 8 masculine bodies including Minase, Komano, and Kanata. Polygons come to △129,227 for the ladies' set and △106,280 for the men's, with lilToon and Modular Avatar as the base. The price is ¥2,200 for a single avatar and ¥4,200 for the full pack.
#3: LOUNGEWEAR - SERENE / MAISONDARC.
Minimal, urban loungewear in heather gray with white piping. The ladies' version pairs an ultra-cropped hoodie with shorts; the men's version goes with a hip-length full-zip and wide half pants — the silhouettes are deliberately cut differently for each. It landed at #3 (8,884 likes at aggregation time).
This is a new release from MAISONDARC., the creator behind the popular C1 EXPANSION BIG SILHOUETTE MA1 & HOODIE SET, and the first entry in the new BASIC CONNECT series. Unlike the shop's previous mix-and-match collections, the series concept is to design one complete look from head to toe: glasses, earrings, necklaces, fur slippers, and sock-integrated platform sneakers all arrive as a finished coordinate.
Support covers 22 avatars — 13 feminine and 9 masculine bodies. Polygons are △85,575 for the ladies' set and △82,410 for the men's, on lilToon and Modular Avatar. Prices run ¥2,400 per avatar, ¥4,200 for the ladies' full set, ¥3,800 for the men's, and ¥5,400 for the all-in pack. Full sets also come with the separately sold UTILITY BACKPACK as a launch bonus.

#4: Adrian-Bikini / FOXYPLAY
A swimwear set that bundles two silhouettes in one product: a bold string bikini and a racing-style monokini with deep side cutouts. A hip bag with chains and an anchor charm sits on the waist, and star-studded leg straps wrap the thigh — beachwear with a clear streak of street style. It landed at #4 (8,643 likes at aggregation time).
This is a new release from FOXYPLAY, the creator behind STRYDE, the #1 outfit of February 2026. The shop also placed third in my April report, so a spot near the top of the monthly chart is becoming its regular seat.
The accessories go deep: platform quilted sandals, wired earphones with a small music player, and patterned adhesive bandages for arms and legs. Colors run 8 palettes for the bikini and 5 for the monokini. It supports 21 avatars centered on Shinano, Milltina, and Manuka — including Misaki, who debuted this very month — and ships with a PSD for retexturing. The price ranges from ¥1,190 to ¥2,380.
#5: LV.15 Mizu_Muse / LookVook
A poolside coordinate with the air of "walking home from swim practice": a navy racing swimsuit and swim shorts, with a track jacket draped over the shoulders. Goggles, a whistle, and a stopwatch complete the swim-club kit. It landed at #5 (7,802 likes at aggregation time).
This is a new release from LookVook, the creator behind the popular LV.7 Cheeky_Tweaky, and the 15th entry in the numbered LV. series. The 10th entry placed sixth in my September 2025 report — a serial line that keeps stacking numbers season after season.
The playful part is the water. The included white tee has a wet, see-through look and ties at the hem so you can layer it over the swimsuit. On top of that, the set ships with tan-skin presets for every supported avatar, applied in one touch from lilToon's preset menu. Star and paw-print decal swaps for the swimwear round it out — one package covers the whole midsummer pool shoot.
Support covers 17 avatars including Misaki, Mayo, Kumaly, and Shinano — with May's new arrival Misaki at the very top of the list. It runs on lilToon and includes a PSD. The price is ¥1,600 for a single avatar and ¥3,200 for the full package.
#6: Lilyte / HyuLicca
An elegant, refined one-piece built on the concept of "a white lily gazing at the sky." A high-neck bodice meets voluminous detached sleeves, and the midi-length skirt turns sheer toward the hem with a scatter of glitter. Spiral ribbon leg bands finish the look. It landed at #6 (6,112 likes at aggregation time).
HyuLicca released it to celebrate 500 followers, and the interesting part is that it's designed to be recolored. The white base keeps its surfaces simple, materials are split across the sleeves, skirt, and gem, and a per-part color mask is included. The product page's color sheet shows 14 sample palettes — dye it wine red or black and it swings gothic. The skirt ships as two meshes, long and short.
It sells as a full pack only, at a milestone price of ¥1,500 (a support edition with identical contents is ¥2,000). The pack is a one-time purchase where newly added avatar support costs nothing extra — and support has indeed kept growing since release, reaching 15 avatars at aggregation time, including Milltina and Ramune. Polygons total △21,406, on lilToon and Modular Avatar.

#7: Oversized Zip-Up Hoodie / Chocolate Spice
An oversized zip-up hoodie with balloon sleeves that pool past the hands. Across the back runs a silver-foil graphic of radiating spikes with "NOT FOR YOU" lettering, and unzipping it reveals a cropped shirt with a necktie and low-rise distressed denim shorts — a sharp, edgy street look. It landed at #7 (6,046 likes at aggregation time).
The range of combinations is wide: the hoodie comes in 16 variations spanning plain, all-over print, and foil versions, the sandals in 11 materials, and the shorts in 3 damage levels. The hoodie itself carries shape keys, so you can push the silhouette looser or tighter. A gray-base PSD makes retexturing easy.
Support centers on Shinano, Manuka, and Milltina, and a post-release update added Misaki for a total of 17 avatars. The creator also kept polishing fast — clipping and weight fixes landed repeatedly within days of the May 1 release. The price is ¥1,300 for a single avatar and ¥3,400 for the full pack.
#8: Chilloom Wear / salmona mignon
A unisex loungewear set pairing an oversized tee with track-style pants. Glasses, fluffy slippers, and a mug toggle on and off from the menu, recreating that "lazing around past midnight" mood exactly. Released for the shop's first anniversary, it landed at #8 (6,040 likes at aggregation time).
Its biggest feature is how light it is. Even fully equipped — glasses and drink included — the men's set totals △4,771 and the ladies' △5,309, a full outfit at the polygon cost of a single tee. Mesh Cutter removes the hidden body underneath, so supported avatars need no manual adjustment, and the shirt even follows the avatar's own breast shape keys automatically.
There's plenty of play in it too: drop a transparent texture onto the material and the tee prints your own words across the chest, with hand-written-style textures reading "in bed by midnight" and "go to sleep already" included from the start. Sets come in 9 colors, with 8 back prints and 5 mug designs.
The release plan fit the anniversary as well — the set was free until May 11, then switched to paid. Support covers 15 avatar slots (9 feminine, 6 masculine), priced at ¥500 per avatar or ¥2,600 for the all-in full set.
#9: Zenith_Suit / velvetsky
A double-breasted formal suit armed with camo lapels, leather harnesses, and chains — a full suit × techwear hybrid. Yellow armbands, a thigh pouch, and buckled combat boots sharpen the black base. It landed at #9 (5,851 likes at aggregation time).
This is a new release from velvetsky, the creator behind the popular Noir_Luxe. The inner layer is a one-piece bodysuit with a dress-shirt collar and necktie, and the outfit strips down in stages — full suit, jacket with skirt, sleeveless with harness — to shift the impression. Colors span 19 coordinates across 7 families from black and white to navy and wine red, plus 8 stocking colors.
The hair in the product shots is a separately sold collaboration piece by MOMORI — add it and you can recreate the product page's look outright.
Support covers 25 avatars, from feminine bodies like Shinano, Milltina, and Manuka to 6 masculine bodies including Minase, Komano, and Bokusei. It runs on lilToon and includes a PSD. The price is ¥1,800 per avatar and ¥3,500 for the full pack.
#10: Tokimeki Ribbon One-Piece / Radiant-iseo
An A-line mini one-piece with a white sailor collar and an oversized ribbon at the chest. A wide-brim straw hat, a vanity-style ribbon bag, and a lace eyepatch all match the dress color — a sweet summer coordinate down to the last piece. It landed at #10 (5,684 likes at aggregation time).
Its strength is sheer volume of colors and patterns. Solids, gingham, tartan, and even lemon and cherry prints bring the color variations to 25, and the chest ribbon recolors independently via mask — so pattern-times-ribbon combinations multiply the looks almost endlessly.
The small pieces are carefully built too: the straw hat and lace eyepatch carry fitting shape keys and bones so they sit right on each avatar's head. The ribbon wedge sandals come in 6 colors. Support covers 18 avatars centered on Manuka, Shinano, and Milltina — including Kaguya, added after release — on lilToon. The price is ¥1,600 per avatar.

May 2026 Trends
Setting the ranking aside, here's what the full set of 291 outfits published in May tells us.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Items | 291 |
| Average likes | 1,604.7 |
| Median likes | 943 |
| Average price | ¥1,261 |
| Median price | ¥1,200 |
| Top 10 avg. supported avatars | ~18 |
The median sits at 943 likes and the average at 1,605. Melty Calling pulls ahead at 11,275 likes, with two items in the 10,000-like class and a thick band continuing down through the 5,000s. The median price of ¥1,200 edged back up from April's ¥1,000 while staying easy to reach. Top 10 avatar support ranges from 10 to 25 bodies, averaging about 18.
Supported Models: Shinano, Milltina, and Manuka Stay on Top
Top 10 Supported Models
Distribution of supported avatar models.
Shinano leads with 194 items, followed by Milltina at 152 and Manuka at 144 — the same big three as April. Chocolat (131), Milfy (127), Airi (125), Mayo (116), Rurune (108), Lumina (106), and Eku (105) round out the top ten.
Just outside the Top 10, one item stood out for the breadth of its support.
Aoi Kiba by MINUÉL is a Japanese-gothic swordfighter coordinate: a jet-black kimono with blue accents and butterfly motifs. The katana ships as prefabs in both gimmick and non-gimmick versions, and support runs to 23 avatars, from Shinano and Manuka to Misaki. At 5,553 likes at aggregation time, it pressed right up against the tenth spot.
Outfit Types: Shorts and Shirts Neck-and-Neck, Bikinis Climbing
Top 10 Outfit Types
Outfit types bundled with these products.
The top outfit types are a tight cluster: shorts at 38, shirts at 37, skirts at 35, dresses at 35, and pants at 33. The eye-catcher is bikinis at 31 — now level with one-piece dresses at 31 — and together with Adrian-Bikini at #4 and Mizu_Muse at #5, the summer-ahead swimwear wave is unmistakable. Keyword counts back it up, with "summer clothes" at 26 and "swimsuit" at 22.
Taste: Casual and Sexy in a Dead Heat
Top 10 Taste Tags
Which taste/aesthetic tags appeared most in this theme.
The top tastes are casual at 84, sexy at 80, cool at 66, girly at 65, and street at 64. Casual and sexy run practically even, and the Top 10 mirrors both camps — loungewear like SERENE at #3 and Chilloom Wear at #8 on one side, swimwear like Adrian-Bikini at #4 on the other.
For a sharp cyber-tech entry outside the Top 10, this one caught my eye.
Venom Umbra by CYCR (Cyber Critter) is a cyberpunk coordinate pairing a translucent yellow raincoat with a gas mask and a black bodysuit. It belongs to the shop's signature hair-included outfit series, so a matching hairstyle comes in the box and the look is complete the moment you buy it. CYCR took #1 in my April report and kept shipping new work through May — momentum that's hard to miss.
Colors: White and Black Rule
Top 10 Colors
Distribution of primary colors.
The color spread is white at 158, black at 156, pink at 41, gray at 37, and red at 31. White and black tower over everything else, the same monochrome-heavy picture as April.
For black worked into a matching his-and-hers look, this one also arrived in May.
Hiss 503 by murr combines a grunge-textured knit with distressed denim for a vintage street style. It's the third entry in the shop's "hiss" line, and it fits both feminine and masculine bodies, so you and a friend can stand side by side in the same mood. Support covers 22 avatars from Shinano and Minase to Misaki and Linne. Pricing steps from ¥1,900 for a single avatar through ¥3,200 for a men's or women's full set to ¥4,200 for everything.
Included Accessories: Ribbons Lead, Hats and Bags Follow
Top 10 Accessory Types
Distribution of accessory and decoration types.
The most common accessories bundled with outfit sets are ribbons at 44, chokers at 37, hats at 29, bags at 25, and belts at 24. Ribbons on top tracks with the depth of girly designs. The strength of hats and bags reflects sets like the straw hat and vanity bag at #10 or the school bag at #2 — outfits that finish the look with belongings, not just clothes.
For a piece where a big waist ribbon plays the lead, take this one.
Sunny Blossom Set by NANAMO pairs an off-shoulder blouse with denim for a sweet summer setup. A big waist ribbon and puff sleeves carry the girly side, while 19 supported avatars and a full 19-color range make it easy to slot into whatever coordinate you already have.
Prices: About 60% Land in the ¥1,000–1,999 Band
Price Distribution
Price bucket distribution for products in this theme during the period.
The price spread: 14 free items, 7 at ¥1–499, 65 at ¥500–999, 179 at ¥1,000–1,999, 20 at ¥2,000–2,999, 5 at ¥3,000–4,999, and 1 at ¥5,000+. The ¥1,000–1,999 band leads with 179 items (about 62%), and the two bands from ¥500 to ¥1,999 hold about 84% of everything. Free items dropped to 14 from April's 19 — yet with Melty Calling on top, milestone giveaways loom larger than ever.
In the ¥500–999 band, this one wore summer best.
Sharky Summer by Koukla is a shark-themed summer bikini set. Two palettes, white and black, come with wide-brim hats topped by little shark and orca mascots and a watermelon net bag — one purchase makes any ocean-world photo shoot instantly livelier. It supports 11 avatars including Shinano and Milltina, at ¥990 per avatar or ¥1,500 for the full pack.
May Trends from an Outfit Creator's Perspective
Here are four angles worth an outfit creator's attention, drawn from the Top 10 and the month's full numbers. The table lines up three months so the shifts are visible.
| Metric | Mar 2026 | Apr 2026 | May 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Items | 298 | 284 | 291 |
| Median price | ¥1,200 | ¥1,000 | ¥1,200 |

| Top 10 avg. supported avatars | ~18 | ~20 | ~18 |
Points for outfit creators:
-
Summer-ahead swimwear arrived in force — the two-in-one bikini/monokini set at #4 and the racing swimsuit at #5 put swimwear twice in the Top 10. Across the month, bikinis hit 31 items in the outfit-type count — level with one-piece dresses — while "summer clothes" (26) and "swimsuit" (22) climbed the keyword chart. Stocking the shelves one or two months ahead of the real season shows up directly in the ranking.
-
Unisex, his-and-hers design is becoming the standard — #2 (14 feminine + 8 masculine bodies), #3 (separately designed ladies'/men's versions), #8 (unisex with 9 + 6 slots), and #9 (6 of 25 bodies masculine): four of the Top 10 ship a men's version out of the box. The step beyond "also supports masculine avatars" — cutting both versions from the start and bundling them into one product — now defines the top of the chart.
-
Milestones and free periods are built into release plans — #1 is a 5,000-follower free release (part of a giveaway-at-every-milestone strategy), #6 pairs a 500-follower price with a full pack where future avatar support arrives free, and #8 ran free for its first-anniversary window before switching to paid. Turning milestones into reach for a new release characterized this month's upper ranks.
-
Outfits raced to support Misaki, the same month's new avatar — Misaki, whose page opened on May 1, already appears on the compatibility lists of three Top 10 outfits at aggregation time (#4, #5, and #7), and sits at the very top of #5's list. Aoi Kiba and Hiss 503 from the trends section support her too. Being fast onto a new body has come into focus as a competitive edge for outfit makers.
Summary
May 2026 in outfits struck me as a month where how you release decided as much as how you build. A free mini dress celebrating 5,000 followers took first place; a year-numbered uniform followed with a tease-first launch; and further down came a full pack whose future avatar support arrives free, and loungewear that ran an anniversary free period before going paid. Much of the Top 10 was thought through all the way to the delivery.
The emblem of it is Melty Calling — free, yet complete down to the cat-ear beret and rings — alongside After-School Distortion, which recreates after-school life down to the pose of offering a decorated flip phone to the camera. Add the bundled men's versions and the rush to support a body born that very month, and this was a month when the creators who closed the distance to "I want to wear this" earned the support. For anyone about to release an outfit of their own, these playbooks are worth keeping close.
