How does the Style Showdown Game Mode work in Dress to Impress
As mentioned earlier, the Style Showdown Game mode has multiple rounds depending on the number of players. You can find details about each of these rounds below.

- First Round: Round 1 is like the default mode of DTI, where you would be given a random theme, and you have to dress according to it. This is relatively simple to understand as this is the core format of DTI. In the end, players with the highest number of votes from other contestants will move to the next round, while others will be evicted.
- Following Rounds: The following rounds of Style Showdown are very similar to the first round, except that there will be challenges or limitations. As of now, there are seven types of challenges in the game, and one of these will be selected randomly for a round. Also, the players with the least number of votes will be eliminated, while others will progress.
- Random Item: You will given a random item to use in that round.
- Item Lock: Some of the items in your wardrobe will not be accessible anymore.
- Limited Items: You can only equip a limited amount of items during this round.
- Immunity Idols: Some of the players will be immune to voting.
- Double Eliminations: Two players will be eliminated in that particular round.
- Vote Reveal: The game will reveal the number of votes received by a player and the name of the player who voted for them.
- Speed Round: A round where you will be provided 90 seconds to dress up instead of the default 180 Seconds.
- Pose Sync Round: The Pose Sync is the penultimate round in Style Showdown, where you have to play a mini-game that revolves around pressing the correct button at the right time to match your pose correctly. This is similar to the QTE(quick time events) from popular video games like Guitar Hero or Rythm Zone. Also, players with the lowest score in this round will be eliminated while others progress.
- Final Pleading and Voting Round: In the final round, the surviving contests can plead to the jury team (players eliminated in previous rounds) by sending a message in the server chat channel on why they deserve the title. After pleading, the eliminated players can cast their votes and decide the winner of the current Style Showdown.
How to win the Style Showdown mode in Dress to Impress
There are lots of factors that determine your victory in Style Showdown; I have mentioned every one of them below and why you should follow these points.

- Knowledge of Themes: The most essential criteria for winning the Style Showdown is to understand the various themes and how to dress for them. This does not come naturally, and you have to play the default game mode for a long time to understand each theme and its intricacies.
- Understanding the Challenges: After the initial round, you will have some sort of challenges in subsequent rounds, and it is vital to understand them to tackle them efficiently. For instance, during the Item Lock challenge, you cannot use certain objects. So, you must know alternatives to that accessory or prepare something new on the spot. Like this, learn about each challenge and develop a solution/counter for it.
- Being Friendly with Contestants: Throughout your Style Showdown journey, you need votes from other players to go to the next round and eventually win the title. So, right from the beginning, be friendly with other players and spread positivity among the contestants to gain the upper hand while voting.
