It's easy to change the appearance of characters like Ciri, Triss, and Yennefer in The Witcher 3: Complete Edition, but it's hard to know how.

How to Change Outfits for Different Looks
Alternative Looks were three of the most popular free DLC packs for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and they updated the in-game clothing for Ciri, Triss, and Yennefer. The Witcher 3: Complete Edition contains the Alternative Looks DLC (along with some of the best paid DLC expansions in gaming history), but in order to see the costumes in-game, the player must actively switch them on.
While most of the DLC for The Witcher 3 allows players to find the new content out in the world by simply adding it in to existing or new areas, Witcher 3's Alternative Looks DLC is less complicated. Anyone looking to change Yennefer, Triss, or Ciri's appearance only needs to do so from the proper place on the game's menu screen.
How To Change Outfits With Alternative Looks
In order to use Witcher 3's Alternative Looks DLC for Ciri, Triss, and Yennefer, the player needs to manually activate them one by one. To change outfits, go to the Gameplay tab in the menu and scroll to the bottom of the list. The Alternative Look DLCs are selected individually, so the player is free to mix and match them with the default outfits. This mean a player can change Yennefer's outfit in Witcher 3 without changing Ciri's look at all, or vice versa.
When activated, the in-game character models for Ciri, Triss, and Yennefer are changed. Ciri starts wearing a stylish suit of chainmail, Triss wears a set of green robes with an intricate golden inlay, while Yennefer sports a black dress. When they originally released from May to July in 2015, these new outfits turned out to be a hit with players and became the subject of many Witcher 3 cosplay outfits around the world.
Other Alternate Appearances In Witcher 3
After the success of The Witcher Netflix show, additional DLC was added which provided a new quest and new Netflix-based alternate appearances in Witcher 3. Much like changing outfits for Ciri or Triss, players can activate an alternate Dandelion appearance and a new type of Nilfgaardian armor in the game's menu.

Geralt also received some free DLC between the original launch of Witcher 3 and the new Complete Edition, but his new looks aren't found in the menu. Completely new players might not even know these are alternate looks for Geralt, because the DLC update which added them (the Beard & Hairstyle Set) acted like more traditional DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and simply added more customization options to choose from at barbers.
