The loveable and unique characters you can befriend and romance in Stardew Valley are the very heart of the game. These characters generally look the same all the time, but the 1.6 update added special Winter outfits for them.
Winter is the only time characters dress up for the season and equip unique attire. If you aren’t currently playing in this season, you might be wondering what they look like. Here are all Stardew Valley NPC Winter outfits.
All Stardew Valley villager Winter outfits
Most NPCs you regularly interact with have a unique look for the Winter season, so you’ll only ever see them wearing this look when it’s cold out. When characters do equip their Winter wear, it affects both their portrait when you talk to them and how they appear as they wander around.
Here are all of the Winter outfits NPCs have in Stardew Valley.

Outside of all of these characters, there are NPCs who don’t have a Winter outfit as of the 1.6 update. Some of the main NPCs you might expect to have special Winter outfits but don’t are as follows.
- Dwarf
- Sandy
- Krobus
- Wizard
Dwarf lives in the Mines and Krobus lives in the Sewers, so it makes sense neither of these characters has a special Winter look since they don’t stray from their homes. Sandy is found in the Desert where it’s always sunny, so she doesn’t need one either. The Wizard is a bit of an oddball who does whatever he wants, so choosing to retain his original look even when it’s freezing is also fairly fitting for him.
Outside of these four other core NPCs, there are a couple of other pretty minor characters you might be wondering about. All other less-significant NPCs not mentioned previously don’t have special Winter looks. This includes all of the following characters:
- Mr. Qi
- Gunther
- Birdie
- Professor Snail
- Morris
- Henchman
- Governor
- Marlon
- Fizz
- Gil
- Bouncer
- Grandpa
The NPCs who do have the special Winter seasonal wear are primarily just the characters you interact with on a day-to-day basis, the bachelors and bachelorettes you can romance, and all other key players around the main Stardew Valley region.
