Nyway to influence the outfits the villagers wear

animal-crossing-new-leaf

My villagers have terrible taste in clothing. They've all been wearing the same ugly camouflage shirt for about a week now. When a villager moves into town they quickly get caught up in the crazy and will swap into the same ugly shirt. I know that if I put up patterns in the Able Sisters that my villagers might wear them, and I put up a design a few days ago hoping they'd start to switch to it, but it didn't work. They're still wearing that same ugly shirt.

Is there anything I can do to influence my villagers to change their outfits, or will I just need to wait until the ugly shirt fashion craze is over?

Talk to Isabelle at the counter in the Town Hall and choose "problematic citizens." This will allow you to choose the neighbor, then give you some options. The options are:

"His/her language is rude." This resets their greeting and catchphrase.

"His/her clothes are wrong." This randomly changes their clothes.

"He/she has a naughty letter." I'm not sure what this option does. Deletes the letter I guess.

Also, when you put things up for sale at Re-Tail, your neighbors will occasionally come in to the shop when you're there. They will randomly select an item which will be announced by the alert sound and surprise lines over their head. You can influence them to purchase what they're looking at. If you have clothes in Re-Tail, that's another possible way for them to change their clothes.
