Skins are a new feature in Don't Starve Together. They are equipable items that players can use to customize their characters in-game. Players can change which Skins they are using when they join a server for the first time (doing so after they select their character) or in-game by activating a Wardrobe. They are set to randomly drop after spending a certain time on servers. The player does not have to be active in order to receive the skins, though they must open the earlier gift box to receive the next one.
 * The first skin of the week drops after approximately 15 minutes of being on a server
 * The second skin drops approximately 2 hours of being on a server after the first skin
 * The third skin drops approximately 4 hours of being on a server after the second
 * The fourth skin drops approximately 10 hours of being on a server after the third.

Skins are purely cosmetic, and have no effect on gameplay besides visuals. Currently, once a skin is obtained, it cannot be destroyed, but Steam users can trade skins with other players, buy/sell them on the market or use the Trade INN interface, where a player can exchange 9 unwanted skins for 1 skin of higher quality. Distinguished skins cannot be traded in for a Elegant skins, and Elegant skins cannot be traded in because it is the highest tier.

In order to obtain a skin, one must receive a random drop, which will be signaled with a gift box appearing in the top-left corner of the screen and a sound similar to ripping paper. After this, the player must go to one of the science research stations (Science Machine or Alchemy Engine) to open it. When a whistle plays and the research station starts producing streams of shadows the gift can be opened and the Skin will be obtained.

There are six types of Skins (Torso, Gloves, Legs, Shoes, Items and Character-Specific) that are classified based on rarity (Common, Classy, Spiffy, Distinguished and Elegant). Most items come in a variety of colors, and all clothing items are unisex. The player can get up to 4 skins per week; this count resets every Thursday.
