Nami has a slender, curvaceous figure with a sunny disposition that matches her name. Her long, wavy orange hair cascades down her back. Her eyes are typically depicted as blue or green, and she has a small, upturned nose.

Nami often wears revealing outfits that allow for freedom of movement. Her clothing style also frequently changes as the story progresses.

Earlier in the series, her attire is simpler and more practical. However, as the Straw Hats encounter different cultures and islands, Nami's fashion choices become more diverse. She might adopt elements from the local fashion trends, such as wearing a kimono in Wano Country or a more revealing outfit in tropical climates.
