What Is a Smart Outfit in GTA 5? Explained

Thanks, Lester, for not explaining a thing!

Despite GTA 5 being a massive sandbox for creating your own fun and unchecked destruction, it has an entire story, too. From time to time, a mission might come with a few prerequisites before you can move on. For example, at one point, Lester won’t even give you the time of day until you dress in a “smart outfit.” If you’re having trouble figuring out what that means, we can explain what a smart outfit is in GTA 5!

What is a Smart Outfit in GTA 5? Answered

Lester’s got another plan in the mission “Casing the Jewel Store” but Michael needs to dress the part. It does, after all, involve a jewelry store, and it’s going to look mighty suspicious if you case the joint dressed in loafers and shorts. You need a “smart outfit,” which is nothing more than a spiffy-looking suit in GTA 5! Below are the steps you need to follow!

  1. Visit the nearest clothing store.

    You can find clothing stores by checking your map. Look for a shirt icon and select it to make a waypoint. I suggest checking out Ponsonby’s, given their selection of really nice suits.find-clothing-store-with-suits-gta-5

  2. Find the Suits section.

  3. Pick a suit.

    It doesn’t matter what kind of suit it is, so long as it’s a suit. If you’ve bought a suit already—which Michael already owns—then you can always go back to Michael’s house and check his wardrobe.buy-a-suit-gta-v

With a snazzy new suit, Lester will finally let you follow through with the mission “Casing the Jewel Store.” And make sure you have it on before you speak to Lester. You need to look your best!

Well, folks, there you have it: that’s what a smart outfit is in GTA 5. It’s totally understandable why this mission causes so much confusion. I know I personally didn’t think of a suit, given that they’re synonymous with business. For more related content, I highly suggest checking the best GTA V mods, if you’re playing on PC!
