There are three different clothing chains, with a total of four stores, in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] in [[GTA IV]].
The ability to ''' choose and wear clothing in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''' is a feature similar to [[Clothing in GTA San Andreas|that of]] [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], albeit much less complex.


The shopping experience has changed from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] -- rather than outfits loading from the changing rooms, the player approaches clothes-racks or shelves to try on the various articles of clothing. Already-purchased clothes can be rebought for immediacy's sake (ie, the player won't have to go back to a safehouse to don the item). There are also extra outfits used to complete missions, which cannot be purchased; these stay in the player's wardrobe after their respective missions are completed.
Access to various outfits is absent altogether in [[The Lost and Damned]], but is reintroduced in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], where a more simple wardrobe system more akin to those found in [[Clothing in GTA Vice City|Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Clothing in GTA Liberty City Stories|Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Clothing in GTA Vice City Stories|Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] is used.


There are gloves in GTA IV, and they appear only in official videos and screenshots. The files are in the game, and can be worn by spawning them with a trainer.

=== Basic outfits ===
In GTA IV, there are three different clothing chains, with a total of four stores, in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]]. However, the shopping experience of clothing in GTA IV has changed from GTA San Andreas - rather than outfits loading from the changing rooms, the player approaches clothes-racks or shelves to try on the various articles of clothing. Already-purchased clothes can be rebought for immediacy's sake (i.e. the player will not have to go back to a safehouse to don the item).  


With the exception of the medical scrubs (see below), clothing has no influence on gameplay outside of comments from [[Girlfriends in GTA IV|girlfriends]]; unlike in previous GTAs, changing clothes does not lower the player's Wanted level.

== The Lost and Damned ==
In [[The Lost and Damned]], [[Johnny Klebitz|Johnny]] is only depicted wearing a large Lost MC black jacket, a button up black dress shirt, grey jeans, and black biker boots. The player has no ability to change outfits, nor does the player character appear to wear helmets, as his biking lifestyle does not appear to merit the need for one.
