A quick question on off-duty outfits

Where and how do you change into off-duty outfits after you purchase them? Do you have to visit a tailor to do this? Just wondering.

    You have to visit a tailor to create them, but to wear them you just change like your uniforms. Right click on the picture of you by your health bar, select change costume/outfit/whatever it calls it and select it, no matter where you are.

    O.K. this was unexpected. I did just that and it told me that I don't have an off duty outfit. I could have sworn that I created one. I was thinking of changing it anyway, so I went down to the tailor to check, and I don't have an off duty slot at the tailor either. Is this a tailor bug?

    Have you purchased any extra clothes slots? If so, try using one of them. If not, I think you have to join a fleet to unlock the off duty tab.

    Remember, the very first costume can only be used for a uniform. It has no other slot type options.

    When I started there were 3 costume slots at the old pre-LOR tailor shop
    1) Uniform
    2) Off duty
    3) fleet uniform (unavailable until I join a fleet)

    I picked out a uniform and an off duty costume. I didn't like the off-duty costume at all, the options were limited, but I've been too busy on missions to pay any attention to the off-duty costume. Now, of course I'm interested in picking out something Risa appropriate. That's when I discovered that now I only have my uniform slot and the unused fleet uniform slot. The off duty costume and costume slot are both gone and I don't know where they went. The Tailor Dialog box says "2 Additional outfits" in the bottom left corner, but It's not clear how to access those.

    The '2 additional outfits' means you can make 2 brand new outfits.

    The button to switch between Uniform and Off-Duty outfit type is under the Head category. Yes, it makes little sense, but that's where it is.

    If the button is grayed out, it was mentioned somewhere by a dev (or patch note) that you should purchase the outfit and edit it again - then the button will work.

    OK That's the problem the button is greyed out.

    Happened to me too; it's a bug. Just create and save a costume, and then modify it, and the drop down should be no longer grayed out. If you're in a fleet, you may need to go to the 'head' tab to make it appear at all, though.
