dress-up games

Fashion fantasy activities

Dress-up games are activities—physical or digital—where players select clothing, accessories, and hairstyles to style a character or doll.

The term most often refers to online or app-based games popular with children, where users drag and drop outfits onto avatars: She spent an hour playing dress-up games on her tablet.

The appeal lies in creative expression and experimentation with fashion without real-world consequences.
