@tapevulture above 部長~buchō is 本部長~honbuchō, then typically 副社長~fukushachō before 社長~shachō.
Which would be equivalent to something like General Manager → Managing Director (Executive Officer) → Vice President (COO) → President (CEO), although 1:1 translation into American corporate culture lingo and structure is always hazy.
I didn’t pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, I’d say splatoon. With the huge amount of clothing and shoe variety in the game, you can make yourself look exactly how you want. You can find examples of classic staples, like MA-1 Flight Jacket stand-ins, Reebok Pump Fury look-a-likes, to ACRONYM inspired jackets, which are just fantastic. Sneakers and Footwear, in particular, Splatoon does fantastic. Creepers, Dr. Martens, modern tech sneakers, Vans, Clarks Wallabees. Whoever designs the gear in Splatoon knows Modern Japanese fashion, which makes sense. I even found a T-shirt from the game (https://matohash.com/collections/mens-referee-shirts) and purchased it as a reference.

I don‘t know that it counts as fashion, but I’m enamored by the designs Masanori Ushiki did for No More Heroes III – I think the work (like a whole lot of his work) very clearly has a high-concept fashion inspiration, especially in the use of patterns and textiles
Defend all of the Splatoon mentions. I collected and maxed out every single piece of clothing in the first game. Starting to get pumped for the fashion in part three -- I guess it's a highly successful Nintendo game, but it still feels like the art direction and music of that series is severely slept on
Speaking of very popular Nintendo stuff, clothes in the new Pokemon are looking pretty good, check these kids out

This girl's Soul Edge shirt from Dancing Eyes is pretty rad, as is the pineapple with sunglasses and wax lips. Too bad about the gameplay.

Also qualifies as a #monkeygame
sorry boys and move over princess, the new queens are in town, Mineral Town
(from Harvest Moon DS)
@connrrr I had never heard of Dancing Eyes when I first played it in an arcade in 2006. The Soul Edge t-shirt was what struck me the most of everything.
@hellomrkearns not even half as funny, but i chuckled when i saw this in the new Saints Row. i‘d say it’s a spiritual sequel
@hellomrkearns we finally have the technology

The “Get Smoked” hat, “Noobs” varsity jacket, and cuffed skinny jeans feels like how a millennial would dress if they had a time machine and went back to middle school.
@Tradegood This looks like a Persona character but I don't recognize them. What is this from?
@captain A ha. Thank you!
Been playing a lot of KOF ‘98 on the Switch. I’m guessing a lot of people already know this, but I was floored when I learned that one of Kyo's color schemes makes him look A LOT like his fanboy/ already sort of lookalike Shingo.
And hey! Shingo has a color scheme to look like his hero Kyo!
It's a shame more fighting games haven't messed with this concept. I know in the Alpha series of Street Fighter Ryu has an orange gi costume...but it's designed to clearly not be Ken's orange. And Ken can wear a white gi, but it's such a different white, it doesn't do anything to make him look like Ryu. How cool would it be if you could really put them in each other's EXACT gi(s)? Get Akuma in Sean's gi, get Ryu in Dan's gi, let's go here!
Also: I don't really play much Mortal Kombat, but I want yellow Sub-Zero and blue Scorpion real bad now.
I agree with Splatoon as the correct answer to the question of this thread. Many games recently have struck me with ambitious or otherwise compelling fashion - Hades (Zagreus‘ immaculately cut toga ’n tights, for one), Sable (gorgeous desert-appropriate outfits for each profession), and even Arknights wild swings at techwear come to mind.
Beyond that - my answer for best _bad_ fashion was Sword and Shield bringing a fresh take on the recent Pokemon games' use of dorky athleisure by mixing it with esports uniforms.
@Tradegood gonna do this in my 40‘s when I’m feeling old.
@captain Where can I get that??
@DaveedNoo I wish I knew…
@rearnakedwindow first screen looked like the characters were
Kyo
Shingo
Jerry
Just for a second
@thebryanjzx90 They should just make up a Jerry Bogard and put him in there. He could be Terry‘s Shingo. Like he’s a long lost cousin or maybe even totally unrelated but gets invited to the tournament by accident (except when you beat the game with him it‘s revealed it wasn’t an accident because of course it wasn't because the Orochi gods arranged it because Jerry actually has latent green-flame Orochi powers but nobody knew about it, etc.).
