To equip a Fortnite skin, open the Locker from the lobby, select Character, choose an outfit, then select Back. Fortnite calls skins “outfits” in its menus and support instructions; the outfit you select appears on your lobby avatar. (Epic Games Support)

Equip or change a Fortnite skin

  1. Launch Fortnite and return to the lobby.
  2. Open the Locker tab.
  3. Select Character.
  4. Choose the outfit you want to use.
  5. Select Back to return to the lobby. Your avatar reflects the cosmetics selected there, according to Epic’s outfit instructions and its Locker item instructions.

You can choose among outfits available in your Locker. Equipping an owned outfit is a menu operation; it does not require a physical product.

Equip a different cosmetic from your Locker

For another Locker cosmetic, open Locker from the lobby, select the item you want, and go back. Epic describes this as the way to equip an item from the Locker: How do I equip an Item from my Fortnite Locker?

Change an outfit’s style

Some outfits and other items offer alternate styles; not every item does. Select the item in Locker and choose Edit to view the styles available to your account. A style may already be selectable or may need to be unlocked, and styles included in a pack appear in that item’s style list. If a style you expect is missing after a pack purchase or grant, see Epic’s troubleshooting instructions.

If the menus look different or an item is unavailable

Epic’s English support instructions describe the outfit route as Locker → Character → outfit → Back. If your platform’s layout differs, look for the corresponding Locker and Character sections; labels and layouts can change with game updates. Epic’s terms also say in-game content features, pricing, availability, and functionality can change, and compatibility may depend on the experience or platform. That means owning or equipping a cosmetic does not guarantee it is offered or works in every experience. (Epic Games Terms of Service)
