How do you change clothes and wear a mask in GTA 6?

GTA 6’s HUD suggests that clothes and a mask are evidence as well as looks. The wanted display carries icons that read as what the police know about you, and two of its four are a clothes hanger and a face. That gives this guide something to say before launch, even though the clothes shop in the frames we have, A1 Fashions, is only seen from outside.

What the material shows

At 14:13 of the Extended Look the top right corner carries the star scale and, under it, four small red icons: two figures side by side, a clothes hanger, a single face and a car. The reading the frames support is that each icon is a piece of description the police hold, and the car icon is one we see go: it is still there at 15:49 and gone at 15:57, when a woman is mid-stride beside a dark saloon in a covered car park with a red paisley bandana pulled up over her nose and mouth, and the icons in the top right corner are the figures, the hanger and the face. What took the car icon away the frames do not show, and they do not show the bandana removing anything either. They show a face covering worn deliberately, under a display whose icons read as faces and clothes.

What is not here is a screen. Until 20 September 2026 the masks page on this site described an items tab with face wraps and masks on it; checked against every Extended Look frame we hold, that screen is in none of them. Outfits themselves are everywhere in the screenshots, from Lucia’s orange prison jumpsuit to gym gloves and floral shirts, which says the wardrobe is wide and nothing about how you open it.

What nobody knows

• Where clothes are bought, whether there is a wardrobe at a safehouse, and whether outfits can be saved.
• Whether changing clothes clears the hanger icon, and a mask the face icon.
• Whether masks are bought, found or handed out for a job.
• Whether the two figures mean accomplices, and whether changing who you are with matters.

How Grand Theft Auto V did it

This is the reference, not a prediction. Grand Theft Auto V sold clothes in stores across the map and kept outfits in the wardrobe at each safehouse. Masks were sold at Vespucci Movie Masks on the beach at Vespucci, a store that unlocked after the heist setup mission that needed them and sold novelty masks and printed shirts; the GTA Wiki lists the masks at prices in the tens and hundreds of dollars. Missions put others on the characters, such as the balaclavas Michael and Franklin wear on the roof entry of The Bureau Raid. The use that matters here was the search phase of a wanted level: putting a mask or sunglasses on, or taking them off, while the police were searching took a star off. A scuba mask had a use of its own, keeping the wearer alive underwater. A face icon sitting in the wanted block beside a hanger reads as that idea drawn onto the HUD and widened to the whole outfit.

What this page becomes on launch day

From 19 November 2026 this guide is rewritten from the release build: the stores, the wardrobe, what a change of clothes does to the display and what a mask does, each with the date it was tested. Until then the short answer at the top stands.
