Are there any websites with references for fantasy clothing in DnD other than the art galleries on the official site? Also, do any of you feature clothing as being important in-game?

I tend to look at art from the period and modern artistic renditions based on them for my games. And yes, I do tend to make it not all important but significant.

Are you trying to figure out clothing for a particular campaign setting?

My regions tend to dress according to a cultural theme. It can be important, particularly when dealing with areas of overlap.

Go to a bookstore, and browse the fantasy section.

Most often they have pictures of people, especially the TOR books.

I look at them sometimes. Also, the replica websites that produce clothes for Renfaire can be helpful. Museumreplicas.com for instance, has pictures of most of their clothes, and you can easily imagine fantastic variations on those articles.

I know certain games that put more of an emphasis on clothing styles, but with my players, unless it really gives you a bonus or something they don't care.

You can also find historical clothing and alter it to look fantasy. :)
