Which outfits best capture both Arthur's personality and my playstyle?

Red Dead Redemption 2 has given us so many possibilities in terms of making a fashion statement with countless unique clothing items in a wide variety of color schemes & styles. Whether you wish to dress Arthur or John as a typical savage outlaw, rugged/classy bank robber, experienced master hunter, or even a classic plain old cowboy, you can go for any look you want and even combine a few. Some of these, however, would need to be crafted and if you're not exactly a one-with-nature type, this would prove to be pretty difficult. But, luckily this isn't just a showcase, this here will guide you to the top 5 RDR2 outfits and how to get them.
5) The Dreamcatcher

The Dreamcatcher is a garment set that certainly lives up to its name due to its majestic appearance. Though it's mostly made up of legendary animal pelts and one of which might not be available to Arthur (without the use of an exploit), it's well worth the grind considering how damn fresh that hat and those fowlers (boots) are. Also, I'd suggest pairing this outfit with the legendary pronghorn coat, just for aesthetic & cold protection purposes. With this particular outfit, you won't have much protection from the cold on its own despite coming with a pair of chaps, warm gloves, and a warm vest, but who cares when you can slowly freeze to death in style?
Some items to keep in mind about the Dreamcatcher include:
- Unique & stylish pair of boots
- A unique variation of the Muskrat Cavalry hat
- Darker, polished variation of the Sheepskin vest
Outfit Details:
- Legendary Beaver Flop Hat - Legendary Beaver pelt, Legendary Boar pelt, 1x Cardinal feather
- Legendary Bison vest - Legendary Tatanka Bison pelt
- Legendary Bison Batwing Chaps - Legendary Tatanka Bison pelt
- Legendary Boar & Bison Fowlers - Legendary Boar pelt, Legendary Tatanka Bison pelt
- Legendary Beaver Cavalry Gloves - Legendary Beaver pelt

4) The Bronco Buster

The Bronco Buster attracts a very particular interest in people, which mostly consists of those who have a knack for hunting (like myself) and want to exhibit that through a bold fashion statement. With some of the utmost protection from the cold, you could set camp up North and hunt down any moose, bear, elk, or deer without having to worry about the 30 degrees and below weather while also blending in with the forested mountains, as a true huntsman should. Or, perhaps you'd like to show off to the common folk of the simple northern towns that you mean business out on the range.
Here's why you should consider this outfit:
Elk Flop hat gives the rest of the outfit a darker, more serious element
Coyote Scout jacket gives a more modern-huntsman vibe, especially when coupled with the Elk Flop hat
Offers great protection from the cold
Outfit Details:
- Elk Flop Hat - 1x Perfect Elk pelt
- Coyote Scout Jacket - 1x Perfect Oxhide, 1x Perfect Coyote pelt
- Huntsman Vest - 1x Perfect Sheep hide, 1x Perfect Deer pelt
- Boar Fringed Shotgun Chaps - 2x Perfect Boar pelt

3) The Marauder

The Marauder is a more simplistic, silent killer-type garment set that complements its darker theme with some snakeskin to show that you're not messing around. It doesn't offer much in the way of protection from the cold, but considering you'll probably be spending a bunch of time in the swamps as the outfit suggests, you'll be just fine while you hunt down some Night Folk.
Some key features of this outfit include:
- Unique black cavalry hat
- Sophisticated deerskin vest
- Modern biker-style bull hide chaps
- Intricate snakeskin pattern gloves
Outfit Details:
- Muskrat Cavalry Hat - 4x Perfect Rabbit pelt, 1x Perfect Muskrat pelt
- Principal Vest - 1x Perfect Cowhide, 1x Perfect Deer pelt
- Bull Fringed Shotgun Chaps - 1x Perfect Bull hide
- Snake Skin Cavalry Gloves - 1x Perfect Boar pelt, 1x Perfect Snake Skin

The Night Wrangler is arguably the sexier counterpart of the not-so-related Wrangler outfit, for numerous reasons, of course.

Let's also just say for the record that John's faithfulness as a husband would probably be put in jeopardy with all the cougars and homewreckers that just so happen to love the passionate color red, especially on an outlaw.
