The very name ofJojo’s Bizarre Adventuresreminds everyone of epic storytelling, filled with unforgettable characters, and a healthy dose of weirdness. But beneath the surface of this beloved manga and anime series lies a secret ingredient that has won it fans from all corners of the globe.
Which is indeed its outrageously amazing fashion sense! Everything is cool in Jojo, from Jotaro’s sleek leather jacket to Dio’s, well, everything. A part of their charm is in exactly how these characters pull this stuff off. But now you might wonder, what exactly makes Jojo’s fashion so Jojo-esque?
The Genius Touch of Fashion Sense inJojo’s Bizarre AdventuresIs Truly Impeccable
Fashion inJojo’s Bizarre Adventuresis a masterclass in creativity and boldness. The character designs by Hirohiko Araki (the creator), instantly identify each protagonist with his silhouettes, that scream right off the character’s individual personality. In a resurfacedinterview by ANN, Araki himself mentioned,
I put a conscious effort into creating distinguishable protagonists who don’t have similar silhouettes and appearances, including their outfit designs. I also have the protagonists function to symbolize the “world” that each part takes place in, so the story influences them as well.Of course, I also don’t want to hinder the evolution of the art itself. I’m always exploring art styles.
Araki is always trying to come up with various melodramatic poses and unapologetically loud, eye-catching outfits in the series. Indeed, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures is an art book in its own right on the screen, where every character’s appearance has become iconic in its way and has carved itself into the identity of the show.

Only inJBA, Araki was able to get away with a character like Jotaro Kujo, who makes a sleek leather jacket and wisps of hair falling everywhere seem effortlessly cool. The influence of Jojo in modern fashion is absolutely undeniable, borrowing its outfit ideas in different cosplay events by the fans. In this world of Jojo, fashion isn’t a detail, it is a superpower!
Araki Frequently Changes His Character Art Style Throughout The Manga. But Why?
Everyone knows how muchHirohiko Arakiloves pop culture and art history, and it is also reflected in the character designs in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures with an eclectic mix of both. From rock bands to classic paintings, Araki’s references are out there to show how boundless his creativity is. But one question still remains, what drives him to constantly change his characters’ art style throughout the manga?
The reason behind this is the urge to evolve with the story and its characters, so that every dress, every pose, and each design factor would speak to the story. In the same interview, Araki mentioned,
When I create characters’ outfits, I am conscious of two elements: ‘daily life’ and ‘fantasy’. I envision everyday fashion alongside strange, cartoonish, bizarre clothing that would be impractical in real life.
What makes it even more impressive is that everything about each character’s outfit carries meaningful motifs with it, revealing aspects of their personality, abilities, or backstory. For instance, Rohan’s artistic flourishes, Jolyne’s butterfly accents, or Jotaro’s symbolic anchors and dolphins; each character fits the bill in their respective story developments.

The muscular physiques of the earlier parts paved the way to a more slender-like fashion design in later installments as Araki’s style changed to accommodate the world he had created. This ability to experiment and innovate has captured audiences, who are now eagerly waiting for the next chapter inJojo’s(truly)Bizarre Adventures: The JOJOLands!
