ACNL status symbols

[LittleCricket]

I've noticed there are certain items that are seen as status symbols or what all the "cool" people wear. The big one (for girls) seems to be the hairbow wig (which I just got today ;D )

Also the bandage, post op patch...anything that looks pastel goth.

What do you guys think are some status symbols and why ARE they status symbols??

I wear the crown just cause it matches my outfit, lol, but I do see a lot of people wearing it.

Pretty sure I also see a lot of people wearing the kids smock and hat, because it's really cute. Or sometimes they try to get all of their villagers wearing it.

Villagers can wear hats?? Or do you mean the smock?

The smock, sorry. Not the hat. I'd probably die if they could wear hats because it would be so adorable (like marshal in the captain's hat or something. that would be too cute.

I remember the hairbow wig was a huuuuuge thing way back when New Leaf first came out. People were paying millions for one e_e

I just got one from my friend I gave her all my tbt but she's been helping get stuff so it's super fair ;p

I feel like getting QR dresses/shirts is a status symbol of some sort.
Like "The regular dresses aren't good enough for me, mine is SPECIAL"

... Then again, I wear a tiny crown too, but... IT LOOKS CUTE OKAY

To be fair, a lot of the default dresses aren't all too appealing. I swear, wore the Gas Mask and the Plaid Cami Dress for the longest time, until I switched it up.

I wear the Flashy Hairpin and some random QR code now, lol.

True, most aren't that nice. Even some of the Gracie stuff is pretty bland/fugly.
Though, I like the kimonos. <3

Wasn't wearing clovers in your hair sort of a fad when ACNL first came out? I think clovers, in general, used to be really popular last year. People would pay thousands for them, so they could make paths out of them and wear them. Really, though, I don't think any of these things are status symbols because there is no inherent sense of classism in ACNL because, literally, anyone can buy these things or will be able to at some point in time in the game. They just need to save up and match the right buyer to the right item. It's not rocket science.

Unless they make a hat that looks like a rocket.

... Nintendo make that a DLC item pls

I'd wear it.

 

[RuikaTora]

I'd wear it.

Next new fad anyone?

 

[starlark]

nah I don't wear a hairbow wig much now, I don't find it that awesome IMO

my boyfriend's character wears a post-op patch but that's cus I forced it upon him xD

I'd say that QR dresses are a fad, and I've bought into that because the closest thing that looks like my OC's shirt is the snow shirt.

I don't think it's a fad. I mean, they're never going to implement Vocaloid dresses into the game even though IA looks so friggin' cute so QR codes are the closest we're going to get.

Also, what about the whole king's set with the royal crown? I've seen a few guys wearing it.

 

[doveling]

those two items are really overrated ;-; (no offense to anyone)
i try to avoid hairbow & crown though they are pretty nice...

 

[Angerfish]

I had no idea the bandage was a fad until I joined tbt. I just liked the way they looked with my character's beady eyes. But yeah, I can see how over hyped items can become exasperating.

I don't know about qr clothes tho. I mean, customizability is what makes New Leaf what it is.

kids smock and hat, because it's really cute. Or sometimes they try to get all of their villagers wearing it.

I think that's really cute too, I put Stitches in it. XD Guilty as charged.

Also guilty of wearing the crown and hairbow wig at times. I just find them very cute. I actually bought the crown myself from Abels and everytime I'd wear it when I was trading, people would beg me to catalog it. It was kind of nerve racking at the time to trust them to give it back.

I got the hairbow wig on ACC last year and at that time it was like 500K, so yeah they were both a big deal.

That and pink hair. Which I still have.

Ugh, I'm guilty of all of it. No shame though. ;P

 

[jessicat_197]

I'm guilty of wearing both but I actually like them c:
I wear the hair bow wig because I don't like the hair styles. I love long hair (I have long hair) and the longest hair has the front bangs but I'm not such a big fan of it. I never knew about the bandage.
