If there is one thing that the Straw Hat Pirates’ journey through the Grand Line has proven, it’s that the world of One Piece is chockfull of different cultures and characters. This diversity generates a lot of the appeal that has kept the franchise relevant for over 25 years. However, one aspect of the series doesn’t seem to receive enough love from fans — its fashion.
There are tons of well-dressed pirates along the Grand Line, many of whom are also major players in the One Piece narrative. While they may be better known for the actions that made them infamous, these pirates deserve recognition for the style that they bring to the series.
10 Kuzan’s Icy Powers Are Reflected Through His Post-Timeskip Appearance
Formerly known as Marine Admiral Aokiji, Kuzan now roams the seas as an ally to the Blackbeard Pirates. While his appearance pre-timeskip was the most fashionable of the three Admirals, his look afterward is what slots him among the most stylish characters in One Piece.
Kuzan dons a fur-lined trench coat, beanie, and backpack following his battle with Admiral Akainu. This informal, chic design perfectly represents the Hie Hie no Mi-user’s resignation from the World Government.
9 Trafalgar D. Law’s Punk Appearance Befits The Worst Generation
Trafalgar D. Law has been a mainstay in the top ten of One Piece popularity polls for years, due in large part to the striking aesthetic that characterizes his appearance. Both before and after his appointment to the Seven Warlords, Law’s style is the most fashionable of the Supernovas.
His speckled hat and jeans are an unusual design, but thanks to his alternative/grunge aesthetic, they perfectly complement the other elements of his wardrobe. Throw in the long black trench coat that Law wears throughout the New World, and he is dressed as well as any other rising pirate on the Grand Line.
8 Crocodile Looks The Part As The Leader Of Baroque Works
When Crocodile first appears in One Piece, he is tricking the vast majority of Alabasta Kingdom into thinking that he is the hero of their nation. While his Devil Fruit powers certainly won over many of Alabasta’s citizens, his mob boss-like appearance almost certainly played a role raising his credibility as well.
Crocodile looks like, walks like, and talks like money — his gold-plated hook, slicked-back hair, fur coat, and affinity for cigars all speak to his love of the high life. However, while Crocodile’s sense of morality may be subpar, his sense of style is anything but.
7 Donquixote Doflamingo’s Flamboyant Wardrobe Is Among The Series’ Best
Donquixote Doflamingo stays in one outfit more than almost any major character in One Piece. However, rather than serving as a mark against his fashion, it speaks to the fantastic style choices that the megalomaniac Warlord is capable of. The flamboyant pink feather coat that he constantly wears is as iconic as any single article of clothing in the entire series.
For this reason, Doflamingo isn’t the beneficiary of many costume changes throughout the course of One Piece. However, the sheer legacy left behind by his primary outfit is enough to cement his place among the best-dressed characters in the series.
6 Dracule Mihawk’s Aesthetic Alludes To His Spanish Influence
Almost all the Seven Warlords have incredibly unique appearances, and in Dracule Mihawk’s case, he is no exception. The World’s Strongest Swordsman and his design are distinctly Spanish, adding a layer of cultural variety that rarely shows up in One Piece.
Everything about Mihawk’s style is perfectly curated. His facial hair, eyes, cross-shaped sword and pendant, and all generate an air of superiority that the pirate more than deserves — even his candle-lit pirate ship speaks to his dominion over the open seas.
5 Boa Hancock’s Style Matches Her Status As The Most Beautiful Woman In The World
As the most beautiful woman in all of One Piece, Boa Hancock has a clear advantage when it comes to fashion. Virtually any outfit would highlight her striking appearance, but as befits a pirate of her station, she is outfitted in some of the most gorgeous, elegant clothing in the entire series.
The Pirate Empress regularly cycles through outfits, demonstrating that her sense of style is far superior to her Warlord peers As the wielder of the Mero Mero no Mi, Boa Hancock makes fantastic use of her ability to charm opposing factions.
4 Cavendish Wowed An Entire Nation With His Beauty
Few characters in the history of fiction have rivaled the beauty of Cavendish, the former Prince of Bourgeois Kingdom. At one point, the handsome Super Rookie was in line to become King of Bourgeois Kingdom, but after the Kingdom’s entire female population refused to marry anyone but the dashing prince, he was ostracized to a life of piracy.
Despite being forced from his royal position, Cavendish’s wardrobe reeks of the regal lifestyle afforded to him during his youth. The “Pirate Prince” only wears the finest clothing, easily qualifying him as the most stylish character in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
3 Sanji’s Fashion Characterizes The Tone Of His Personality
From the first moment that Sanji appears on-screen, his stellar fashion is at the forefront of his character. His dashing good looks, fitted black suit, and dangling cigarette made Lieutenant Fullbody look shabby in comparison, and luckily for the chef, this was only a sign of things to come.
Every time Sanji sports a new outfit, it is perfectly suited to his personality. With the Germa Kingdom-created Raid Suit now in his wardrobe, the Straw Hat Pirates’ resident ladies’ man is all set to woo the residents of the New World.
2 Nami’s Wears More Outfits Than Anyone In One Piece
No character in One Piece has undergone more costume changes than the Straw Hat Pirates’ navigator, Nami. The tangerine-loving pirate adores stylish clothes almost as much as she does money itself, and because of this, her sense of style is as refined as any pirate in her generation.
Most of the Straw Hat Pirates’ stops along the Grand Line have yielded at least one new outfit for Nami, resulting in an extensive list of different appearances for the character. Were it not for one of her fellow crewmates, she could very well be the most stylish pirate in One Piece.
1 Nico Robin’s Wardrobe Includes Many Of One Piece’s Most Recognizable Outfits
Since Nico Robin first encountered the Straw Hat Pirates in Alabasta Kingdom, her stylish costumes have been one of the highlights of the series. When Robin joins the Straw Hats, she is notably older than her peers, and using the various outfits she wears in subsequent arcs, she demonstrates her maturity and refined sense of style.
Many of the most iconic outfits in One Piece history are possible because of Nico Robin’s character. The cowgirl-style outfits she wears during the events of Alabasta are by far the most striking in the entire saga, setting up a trend for many of costumes her moving forward. While Robin and Nami both have the utmost taste in fashion, the former barely edges her crewmate out when it comes to One Piece‘s most memorable outfits.
