Legwear

Legwear is an item of clothing worn by Inklings and Octolings. Unlike gear, legwear is entirely aesthetic, having no gameplay effect. In Splatoon, all Inklings have the same legwear, while in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, legwear can be changed as a player customization option.

Splatoon

In Splatoon, legwear in not changeable. All Inklings wear black shorts with a stripe of the wearer's ink color on either side. The male Inklings' shorts are slightly longer than the females' and go down to their knees.

There are three pieces of clothing that, when worn, replace the normal legwear with different legwear. These are:

Splatoon 2

In Splatoon 2, legwear is available as a default customization option like hairstyle, eye color, and skin color. Various different legwear options are available in addition to the shorts from the previous game, including skirts with shorts, capris, leggings, and exercise shorts for females and loose shorts with leggings, looser capris, leggings lacking shorts, and loose shorts reaching just below the knee for males. Four of these legwear styles were added to the game in version 2.0.0, namely the "tight black pants" and "loose sport shorts" for girls, and the "leggings" and "denim shorts" for boys.
