Leon appears to have short brown hair, with fringes on each side and brown eyes. In the FMV scenes in Resident Evil 2, his brown hair becomes a copper shade and his eyes turn blue. From Resident Evil: Vendetta through the remake version of Resident Evil 4, he is depicted to have dark brown hair and ice blue eyes. Leon wears a full-body R.P.D. uniform in Resident Evil 2 with a vest, in contrast to other officers in the game who wear summer uniforms. This outfit is predominantly different shades of blue. He also gains bandages on his chest half way through the game after he saves Ada from being shot by Annette and the latter treats his gunshot wound in return. He has two alternate costumes to wear in the game that changes his shooting style with the Handgun. The first is a casual outfit consisting of a leather jacket with a picture of a skull on the back and jeans, while the second costume is a purple tank top with cargo pants and an R.P.D. cap. The Nintendo 64 version replaced these costumes with a S.T.A.R.S. uniform and another consisting of camouflage pants with T-shirt, leather vest and sunglasses. In Resident Evil 2 Remake, Leon's full body R.P.D. uniform was updated due to the change of graphics similar to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. His tactical vest is now black and his police uniform is now dark blue. Later in the game, the bandages are no longer in the chest as it was now on his left shoulder after Ada rips the left sleeve from his uniform to treat his gunshot wound after he saves her from being shot by Annette and is no longer wearing white arm warmers and elbow pads due to being removed. His initial appearance is a contrast to the original Resident Evil 2 before wearing his full body R.P.D. uniform, he wears a casual outfit which would later be worn by his older self in later games and animated films. Leon wears a dark gray nylon jacket with an extending collar, a matching black long sleeved loose button shirt and a white short sleeved undershirt, tattered blue jeans and white sneakers with brown soles. In Resident Evil 4, Leon's R.P.D. uniform has been updated which becomes his alternate costume when the player completes the game once and later used again in The Darkside Chronicles during the reimagined "Memories of a Lost City". Since Resident Evil 2 and onwards, Leon is depicted to have brown hair and brown eyes during cutscenes.

In Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles during the scenario "Operation Javier", he wears a black long sleeve shirt with the sleeves below the elbows and green leather suspenders with four pouches on each side, brown and green camouflage pants and black combat shoes. !n Resident Evil 4, Leon wears a short-sleeved black 5.11 shirt, blue 5.11 pants, black Magnum combat boots, and a brown B3 sheepskin bomber jacket. However, he loses the jacket early in the game, much to the chagrin of players who liked its look. When playing Ada's scenario "Separate Ways", the previously unknown fate of the jacket is discovered; it was stolen by a Ganado when Leon and Luis were captured at the end of Chapter 1-1. He sports a variety of equipment and gear around his waist, including an attach case on the small of his back, double pistol magazine pouches, navigation light, rappel, and radio pouch. A drop leg holster is strapped to his thigh, and he also wears a brown leather shoulder holster. Later in the game, the player has the option of acquiring the Tactical Vest, which puts a black assault vest and assorted gear over Leon's standard outfit. The vest reduces damage by 30%. In the PlayStation 2 and Wii ports of RE 4, he is given a classic mafia-style outfit that is unlocked along with the Chicago Typewriter after the player clears the "Separate Ways" scenario. Since the typewriter has infinite ammo, Leon will simply tilt his hat when the reload button is pushed and if the player hits reload four times, Leon will throw his hat in the air and catch it. Wearing the Mafia costume will change Leon's pose on the attach case screen while the typewriter is equipped and will change the typewriter's magazine from a standard box magazine to a drum magazine. The Mafia outfit also changes the look of Leon's knife. Instead of a Combat Knife, it becomes a switch-blade to complete the authentic criminal motif. This change is purely cosmetic, and does not affect the performance of the knife at all.
