Every week is fashion week in Dress to impress on Roblox. Streamers have turned the multiplayer dress-up game into a breakout online hit. Now, the game is inspiring real-world fashion. On social media platforms like TikTok, Dress to impress inspired a recent trend where people are using the game’s audio to show off their outfits and pose with in-game emojis.
Dress to impress is an online game where people compete to create the best outfit based on a theme. In the game, each player parades down a runway to show off their outfit, and other players vote for their favorites. The overall style of the game can change drastically depending on the theme of each round, and now fans in the real world have created a trend inspired by the game.
Videos in this trend borrow the same structure: people employ the music from the game to show off their outfits and pose like their virtual avatars. The video below shows an example of this. This video, which was viewed over 3.2 million timesoverlays text over the video that says, “subject: going out.” Each person poses for the camera, showing off their going out look.
The idea inspired a few variations of people imitating this general joke. A common joke in every video is people doing the “28 Pose,” which is a popular in-game emote where the character stands with their legs spread wide and their hips jutting out. It looks silly, and you can scroll down to see some examples.
Personally, I am impressed by the people who followed the trends and participated in this year’s New York Fashion Week.
Overall, it’s a cute trend that combines the game and its world with the joy of dressing up. Now everyone can feel confident posing in front of the mirror as they explore the theme of dressing up for every day of their life.
