"You comin' to my show, daddy-o?"

"Come see me in action tonight. I'll lay down the face-meltin' beats." - DJ KK


Seeing K.K. Slider's acoustic performance on Saturdays in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is fun because the player can request songs for this cute dog musician to play. "KK Bossa" has always been one of my favorites, but there are a lot of other great songs in his catalogue too! And players get to know another side of K.K. Slider in New Leaf. DJ KK performs at Club LOL from Sunday through Friday starting at 8:00 p.m. The player can hear samples or remixes of K.K. Slider songs and dance along in-game with the D-pad. It's a pretty cute feature.

So today's outfit is based on the cool dog DJ with face-meltin' beats.




  • Shirt (CHOiSE): DJ KK is a cool guy, so I wanted an outfit based on him to be pretty cool too. A black and white long sleeved crop top seemed like a great place to start.
  • Pants (Marcelo Burlon): Distressed jeans were a must for this look, and the skinny fit keeps with the cool-without-a-care vibe that I wanted.
  • Belt (Hot Topic): This style of belt was an instinctual selection for me. I'm probably showing my age here, but my emo/goth alarms were going full blast in my head when I was thinking about this outfit as a whole. 15-year old me would be proud.
  • Shoes (Converse): Who else had a worn out pair of Chuck Taylors in high school? The ones for this outfit are still looking fairly new, but I'm sure they will be scuffed up and scribbled on soon enough.
  • Hat (Neff): I chose a beanie to go with this outfit instead of DJ KK's pageboy-style cap. I think it fits the style of the overall look, and it's a great pop of color too. 
  • Glasses (Linda Farrow): Instead of KK's large black glasses, I decided to pair some tortoiseshell frames with this outfit. I like the orange-ish brown tone next to the orange beanie. But some other thick-framed or black specs would have worked well here too! 
  • Ring (Monroe Yorke): DJ KK doesn't have a lot of color besides his orange hat, so I didn't want there to be too many different colors in this outfit either. A silver ring with a black gemstone fits well into the limited palette, and I think it will go great with the manicure I'll be mentioning soon. 
  • Necklace (Sandy Steven Engravers): Giving a nod to K.K.'s day-job, a silver guitar pick necklace is another accessory that keeps this outfit true to style.
  • Headphones (LSTN Sound): To be honest, I just thought these headphones were dope. There are a ton of different brands and styles out there, and pretty much any of them would look cool sitting on the neck of the person wearing this outfit. So if these wood headphones aren't your cup of tea (or Brewster's coffee), that's totally fine too!  
  • Thermos (RedBubble): Another one of my favorite characters in the Animal Crossing series is Brewster. When playing New Leaf, I love visiting The Roost CafĂ© to get a hot cup of coffee or to lend a hand as a barista. And since the player can occasionally see DJ KK spending some downtime at The Roost, I figured a nice to-go thermos of his favorite brew (a blend with no milk and no sugar) would be a perfect extra touch. 
  • Manicure*: The silver dots on this black almond-shaped manicure are a nice touch that match the jewelry. *I was unable to find the source for this image, and the closest I got was from a list of manicures from thetrendspotter.net. So if anyone knows the original owner of this picture, let me know and I will give credit where credit is due.



Thanks again so much for reading!

Talk to you all soon!
