GTA 6 may still be months away from launch, but its trailer and characters have already made a bold impression, on fashion. With over 100 million views and countless rewatches, the game is influencing how people dress, post, and even shop. From viral outfits to subtle luxury statements, here are five real-world fashion trends that GTA 6 seems to be setting in motion, long before it hits shelves.
1. Tropical prints come back loudly

Jason's flower shirt, heavily showcased in the trailer, has turned into an unexpected style icon. It renewed the popularity of Hawaiian and tropical prints, as enthusiasts and creators on social media copied his style for summer fashion and streetwear inspiration. Retailers already have similar shirts available, combining relaxed vice style with tough masculinity.
2. Gorp Core with Vice City flair

Utility attire, cargo pants, tactical vests, functional accessories, gets a comeback through the game's hard-hitting but fashionable aesthetic. GTA 6 blends gorp core into the color-drenched frenzy of Vice City, imbuing the trend with its own bright, sunny twist. Combining combat gear with its urban neon backdrop creates a new, wearable tension.
3. Lucia's streetwear-chic style

Lucia's looks, ranging from sleek tanks to streamlined joggers and sporty kicks, have begun to influence streetwear stylists on TikTok. Her aesthetic has the rugged and feminine energies in balance, creating a tidal wave of new fashion mood boards inspired by bold, unapologetic silhouettes. She's quickly becoming a digital fashion icon, and the game isn't even out yet.
4. Retro Y2K clubwear

Spotted on NPCs in the trailer are sequined tops, low-rise jeans, and flashy chains, reminiscent of early-2000s club fashion. With Y2K fashion already trending again, GTA 6's visuals have continued to bring this retro-glam look back to pop culture relevance. The game does the Miami nightlife aesthetic justice in a manner that feels nostalgic and fresh.
5. Quiet luxury with criminal undertones

Both heroes dress in a way that seems deliberately low-key, solid colors, clean lines, no aggressive logo-ing. This is the
"quiet luxury" trend: unobtrusive, high-end-looking fashion that quietly implies power without brashness. It's the ideal fashion trope for criminal chic, cool, calm, and quietly in charge.
Rockstar can be credited with gameplay innovation, but GTA 6 is also a fashion trendsetter. From tactical streetwear to retro club gear, the game mixes style and mayhem in ways that are already impacting wardrobes. If that is from a trailer, GTA 6 could be the most stylish gaming title in history, one that changes the face of how games influence fashion.
