Okay, so Style Boutique is basically the closest thing you'll get to running a tiny fashion empire on your DS. You start with this little shop that looks like it could use some serious TLC, and before you know it, you're picking wallpaper, arranging displays, and frantically trying to remember whether that last customer wanted "punk" or "girly" vibes.

The best part? The clothes. There's way more than you'd expect—like, hundreds of pieces you can mix and match. At first I just threw random stuff together, but after a few disasters (neon leggings with a ballgown? no.), you start getting a feel for what actually works. The fashion contests are weirdly intense—judges get opinionated about color coordination.

It’s one of those games where you mean to play for 10 minutes and suddenly it’s been an hour because you have to see how that new winter collection sells. If you ever played dress-up games as a kid, this is that but with way more sass and business strategy.
