    Make sure that you wear a long sleeved shirt. Even if it's not the original color of the cosplayer, you can substitute for black, or even a turquoise blue (something that will flow with the cosplay's color scheme).

    Put on your wig. Make sure it has the right look. Even if your wig is in good condition, brushing always prevents future tangles, so stroke a brush of your choice over your cosplay wig a few times just to make sure.

    Style your wig! There are many hair products available, so choose the one that suits to your needs best. It may also be helpful to ask people what brands or products they use.
    • The trick to using hair gel is to rub it in your fingers like it's lotion, and apply it by twisting small bunches of hair and pulling them both outward, and downward. And voila! Just like magic your hair would look ten times better!

    Have some type of headphones like Aoba. Aoba Seragaki, like many other characters, has cosplay headphones. If you cannot afford, or cannot get one shipped to you in time then try going to Hot Topic, or Walmart to get a pair of plain, red headphones for under $40.

    Don't forget the glove. The step to cosplaying would be Aoba's glove, which is fingerless. Aoba only wears one glove and it's on his right hand.

    Remember it's not about having a perfect cosplay, it's about having fun. Don't be afraid to make the cosplay you wear unique and individual!

Tips

  • Aoba's cosplay is just as good without his jacket, so if you cannot afford one, your cosplay is still considered complete!
  • Wearing a pair of turquoise Chuck Taylors or even Supras make a nice substitute.
