Thrifted Treasures: Creating Classic Anime Costumes on a Budget
POSTED ON OCTOBER 18TH, 2023
Cosplay can sometimes burn a hole in your wallet, but thrifting offers a more budget-friendly alternative without compromising on authenticity. Anime offers an array of colorful characters that can be recreated using thrifted items.
- Sailor Senshi (Sailor Moon): Search for pleated skirts, white blouses, and blue sailor collars. Accessories can be crafted or modified, like the tiara and the bows.
- Ash Ketchum (Pokémon): Keep an eye out for green gloves, a white and blue jacket, and a red cap. Bonus points if you can thrift a small yellow plush toy as your very own Pikachu!
- Naruto Uzumaki: Orange jackets and pants can be modified with navy blue details. Don't forget to find a black headband to paint or sew on the Konoha symbol.
Tip: While thrifting, focus more on color and shape rather than specific details. Many elements can be DIY'd or added later.
