The Nautical theme in Dress To Impress, the Roblox fashion game, comes down to color more than props. Navy and white do most of the work, and aqua and teal take over when you want the sea instead of the ship. Below are three complete nautical DTI looks: a sailor, a mermaid, and a striped yacht outfit. Each one includes hair, a face, and shoes. Every piece comes from the free Dressing Room, the hat wall, and Lana’s Salon.

Quick answer: Use navy and white. For a sailor, wear a white crop top with navy straps, a navy sarong, and the white sailor cap. For a mermaid, use an aqua and teal glitter gown with long red curls. For a yacht look, wear a navy-striped corset, a ruffle skirt, and navy sneakers.


Where to find clothes, hair, faces and hats in Dress To Impress

Dress To Impress doesn’t show item names. Every piece below is described by where it sits, what it looks like, and its color. Here’s where each part of an outfit lives.

  • Clothes and shoes: the Dressing Room. Use the Teleport pin in the top left and pick “Dressing Room”.
  • Hair: Lana’s Salon, left-hand arch. Sit in a hair chair under the framed pictures and press E to open the Hairstyles panel.
  • Faces: Lana’s Salon, right-hand arch. Sit at a vanity, press E, and open the Feminine tab.
  • Hats: Find the hat display of mannequin heads beside the Skin Tones booths.
  • Skin: Use the curtained booths beneath the “Skin Tones” sign, next to the shoe shelf.
  • Runway: Select the Teleport pin and choose “Freeplay Runway”.

There are ten tabs in the Hairstyles panel: Feminine and Masculine; Bangs, Curly, Straight and Wavy; Updo, Locs, Braids and Afro. The three looks below share one skin selection, made at the beginning. Choose the Skin tab, then row 3, column 3, for a natural mid tan.


How recoloring works in Dress To Impress

Click a piece to preview it. While it previews, use the arrows to move through its parts. The panel shows labels such as “1/2: Top”, “2/2: Straps”, or “1/5: Preview”. For each part, choose a color on the Palette tab, a material on the “+” tab, or a tile on the Patterns tab, then press Put On. Metallic and Glitter are both free materials.

You can still change a piece after you put it on. Open the Wearing panel with the hanger button on the right and click the piece’s picture to bring its color panel back.

Colors below are given as positions on the Default palette. Columns are counted from the left and rows from the top. Row 8 is the white-to-black row.

ColorPalette columnPalette row
White18
Navy47
Aqua56
Dark teal57
Bright red (hair)16
Auburn brown (hair)71
Honey blonde (hair)31

On the runway, the navy at column 4, row 7 shows up as a deep, bright navy blue. It’s the navy used in all three outfits.

A pattern tile and a palette color overwrite each other on the same part. If you pick a palette color after a stripe tile, that part turns plain. Always pick the stripe tile last.


Nautical look 1: Sailor in white and navy

This look starts with the two-piece on the top shelf of the party-dress unit, beside the shoe shelf. It’s a ruffled crop top with straps and a wrap sarong skirt.

Click the crop top. On “1/2: Top”, pick white. Use the arrow to go to “2/2: Straps”, pick navy, and press Put On. The top now reads white with navy straps.

Nautical look 2: Mermaid sea siren in aqua and teal

Start with the ball dress in pale pink, positioned at the center of the party-dress shelf’s lower level. Materials create the mermaid effect: give the skirt a metallic finish and the bodice glitter, then complete the look with long red curls.

If you’re switching from the sailor look, open the Wearing panel. Remove the cap, top, sarong, and updo with the heart X under each picture.
Click the pale pink ball dress. On “1/2: Preview”, pick aqua (column 5, row 6), then choose Metallic on the “+” tab.

Nautical look 3: Yacht stripes in navy and white

This look starts with the corset puff dress on the left of the lower party-dress shelf. You wear it as two separate pieces, its corset and its skirt. The stripes come from the Patterns tab.

If you’re switching from the mermaid look, open the Wearing panel. Remove the ball dress, heels, and curls.
Select the corset on the corset puff dress to bring up “1/5: Preview”. Choose white for parts 2, 3 and 5, and navy for part 4.
