The '''Garish garb''' is a recurring piece of clothing in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a gaudy set of clothes typically reserved for sillier characters that provides a surprising amount of protection.

The garb has had two distinct designs over the series history. In the illustration for the Famicom version of ''III'', it is a long purple coat with yellow fur lining decorated with five-pointed stars and fringe. The female gadabout wears it over a blue leather ensemble, red stockings with a zigzag design, and pink-pointed heels. She completes the look with an outrageous bouffant hairstyle, crescent moon earrings, a variety of belts, bracelets, rings, and necklaces, and a blue star on her cheek. In the illustration in the Super Famicom version of ''III'', the garish garb is now a long pink star-spangled coat accessorized with various embellishments and decorations.
