I think Aragorn changed clothes while he was in Rivendell. The velvet didn't make the trip, I think, and it was back to the travel clothes. He changed shirt in Edoras, and again in Helm's Deep, but the mail and leather surcoat covered it.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Nobody
I don't know if he changes, ita, but I would like to see those scenes in DETAIL in the EE. Just for, the, um, character, um, stuff.
scrappy is right. So many important moments have been cut from this film, but some things are absolutely necessary to my libi...libr...understanding and interpretation of book!canon vs. por film!canon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it was back to the travel clothes
He just wore that one outfit the whole movie and half the second? My lord, the boy's nasty.
Okay, so maybe everyone else did (though I'm sure Legolas probably had five or six of the same outfit), but looking at the day per page calendar pics I had around, his outfit just looked beat.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ah, but then, after all that, we got the light teal dupoini silk tunic. I likey that. Fer shure.

The "travel clothes" were his ranger's outfit. Gods know how old it was before the Fellowship.
I think it's still a practice in many European cultures to have one or two outfits for work and one good set for church, funerals, the opera, weddings, etc., and simply bathe and change underthings daily. I know people whose parents inherited a "good suit" from their parents, and wore it.
Costuming leads down interesting cultural backtrails.

I'm guessing that's outside of the big cities, because I've not seen that there.

Yeah, most probably rural and smaller villages. Plus, my knowledge is from when they left, 20 years ago.

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious
It occurs to me that if all dwarves fought like Gimli (who was neck and neck in kills with Legolas) or all humans like Aragorn, then the orcs might have all turned tail and run.
If anything, Aragorn would have more, If he played, but the heroes always kill tons, it's a thing. It's the how's and wherefores that skew the whole thing for me.

I think Aragorn would, if he played, but he would never play so it all twists up on itself.
I mean, it's not like they're killing more than they would otherwise, I think.
I guess they handed the flashy powers to the Elves (I can't wait to get my hands on that Warfare book), so he got the big cheer points. Aragorn got the emotional ones¹ (like Weathertop), and Gimli was the journeyman.
¹ Well, if you leave out every time the hobbits get involved.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
We FINALLY saw RotK today. Dear God, I loved it. But I've gotta say one thing:
Hobbits jumping up and down on Frodo's bed? And then Gimli walks in and eyes them with a big, knowing smile? And then Legolas comes in? Slashiest. Scene. Ever.
