EASY COSPLAY IDEAS (For Guys!)

As I promised, here's the male version of easy cosplay ideas :D These are just suggestions, okay? XD (For the Girl ver. just look at my past post :D)

1. L (Lawliet of Death Note)
This is a common one, but everyone loves L anyway :D. Costume's just composed of white long-sleeves, baggy jeans and for the complete look, eyeliner. For those with short hair, you might need to buy a wig. Never forget the crouch and style your hair with a lot of hair gel.
DIFFICULTY: 5/10

2. Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)
It's kinda simple. I bet you guys can find a red vest and sandals at a thrift store. Plus, you can just ruin your old pants (could be jeans) for this and apply stitches on your cheek using eyeliner. Staw hats might be difficult to find though.
DIFFICULTY: 6.8/10


3. Mikado Ryugamine (Drrr!)
His costume is mainly that white and green jersey and a messenger bag so it's not much work in my opinion. :D
DIFFICULTY: 6.7/10


4. Takeshi Yamamoto (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!)
His uniform is pretty simple to recreate. I guess you'd just have to style your hair like his. And you can buy his Vongola ring from the local Otaku Store to make your cosplay distinguishable.
DIFFICULTY: 6/10


5. Hibari Kyoya (Katekyo Hitman Reborn)
Uniform is as easy to copy as Takeshi's but Kyoya would be easier to recognize because of the armband. You might need a medium-length hair/wig for this. And you can make a prop Hibird plus his weapon. :D
DIFFICULTY: 6.3/10


6. Gon Freecs (Hunter X Hunter)
If your hair is already spiky, hooray! Gon's hair might look gravity-defying, but you can always use some (make that a whole bottle of) hair gel. As for the costume, he wore a white top on the Heaven's Arena Arc and a blue/black one in the Greed Island Arc. Don't forget the fishing rod! :D The only hard part would be the boots.
DIFFICULTY: 7/10


7. Gray Fullbuster (Fairy Tail)
What makes this easy is because Gray's topless. Nuff said. Just put effort on the hairstyle, buy or make the necklace, wear black pants, put a chain and belt for detail, and don't forget the blue fairy tail symbol. Uhm... just a friendly reminder... if you're a skinny guy, you might wanna work out. :)
DIFFICULTY: 6.5/10


8. Touma Kamijou (To Aru Majutsu No Index)
White uniform over an orang shirt. Seems pretty easy, right? :D Requires medium length hair and hair gel.
DIFFICULTY: 5/10

Phew. Done!
I'm working on a cosplay prop how-to post so watch out for it!

EASY COSPLAY IDEAS! (For Girls)

After my struggle with designing this blog, I finally decided to make a post. 

Domo minna~

This post is for beginner cosplayers. So far, here are the ones I saw that only needs small amount of effort. And since they’re easy, they’re also very cheap. :D This is just a female cosplayer's edition so watch out for the male ones :D. 

Okay, start!

1. Namine (Kingdom Hearts)
Here’s Namine-san~ The costume’s really easy since it’s just a white dress (you can just buy a plain one anywhere and cut the edges), plain sandals (they’re eeeverywhere), a sketchbook and a pencil. The wig and lenses may be a bit difficult to find though. But there are always online shops. If you’re naturally Kinpatsu Hekigan (literally Blonde-hair, blue eyed), lucky you!
DIFFICULTY: 6/10


2. Shana (Shakugan no Shana)      
On the season three of SnS, Shana wore a plain white dress when she was trapped in the Seirei-den. The costume is just a long dress with a red and gold band on top and a big white ribbon at the back, white heels, white stockings, and a chain bracelet. For more reference, watch the episode 8 of Shakugan no Shana season 3. Oh, and no need for the sword because Shana is powerless in this episode.
DIFFICULTY: 4.5/10

3. Sunako Nakahara (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge)
Sunako-chan is another easy one. She mostly wears a baggy sweatshirt and red jogging pants. I’m pretty sure you can find them anywhere. XD The pants has one white line on both sides but you can just add them yourself. There’s also the one with a skirt that looks like amoeba. No need to worry about the wig if you already have long black hair. And no need for the purple contact lenses because of her long bangs. As for the shoes, just a plain one will do. XD For extra touch of Sunako, just carry a kitchen knife covered with ketchup and be careful not to get caught by cops.
DIFFICULTY: 4.5/10 


4. Sawako Kuronuma (Kimi ni Todoke)
Sawako Kuronoma (Kimi ni Todoke) also has the same look, her brown eyes are shown though. She also wore a white dress on the first episodes of Season 1 of the anime (I forgot exactly which episode, but I’m pretty sure it was not a complicated one.) The pic with the chicken shown above is from the cover of the manga. :D
DIFFICULTY: 4.5 /10 


5. Sadako Cosplay
I know. I know. It’s just like the previous two posts. XD. But this one comes with a t.v. I’ve seen one in a convention before. It was both hilarious and terrifying at the same time. (. _ .)
DIFFICULTY: 4/10

6.Misa Amane (Death Note)
Misa-chan is an idol so she wears fashionable clothes…mostly gothic though. Just look for a blonde wig(light brown will do) and tie it like her hairstyle. And then grab your long black t-shirt, destroy it a little, wear black stockings, gothic jewelries, put gothic make up on (do not forget the red lipstick) and POSE.
DIFFICULTY: 6.5/10 


7. Chihiro (Spirited Away)
Fairly Easy. Just a plain white t-shirt with a green stripe, pink shorts, and yellow shoes. :D Or you can to dress up as No-Face. XD
DIFFICULTY : 5/10 


8. Nekos
Yes, nekos. I often see them at conventions. They’re at every corner, either in a box or surrounded by photographers. Put your cat ears, cat paws and cat tail on, wear something oversized, practice saying “Nya~” and… hoozah! A neko! You can also try Inu (Dog), Usagi(Bunny) or Kuma(Bear) ~
DIFFICULTY : 6.5 / 10 



Phew. That's it! I hope this helps :D If you have any questions and suggestions, just comment below.

That’s all for now folks!
