5 Easy Anime Characters to Cosplay
Cosplaying is a fun hobby and a perfect way to express yourself through fictional characters. Costumes are usually expensive, which makes them overwhelming for beginners. But in reality, you don’t need to spend so much money to enjoy cosplaying! There are costumes that are much cheaper and easy to sew.
Here are 5 easy anime characters to cosplay for beginners
1. Hyouka: Houtarou Oreki and Eru Chitanda
Hyouka takes place in a school setting which makes the main attire a Japanese school uniform. Boys wear matching black trousers and a tunic with a standing collar and five gold buttons. Girls wear long-sleeved sailor uniforms which Japan adopted because of their easiness to sew. With enough practice, you can do it too!
2. Jujutsu Kaisen: Megumi Fushiguro and Maki Zen’in
Jujutsu Kaisen also takes place at a school of sorcerers. Despite sounding fancy, characters wear simple matching uniforms. These are dark blue trousers/skirt and a long-sleeved dark blue top with the school’s emblem etched on the button. With only a blue fabric, you already have perfect cosplay!
3. Kakegurui: Ryota Suzui and Yumeko Jabami
You got it right! These characters are also in their school uniforms. As a cosplayer myself, I can honestly say that the easiest costume to start with is uniforms. However, the uniform in Kakegurui won’t be easy to sew as there’s a complicated pattern on the bottoms. Fret not, this costume is available on Shopee for an affordable price!
4. Blend S: Dino and Maika Sakuranomiya
Café outfits! There’s nothing cuter than these outfits of a manager and a maid waitress. This costume is perfect for those who want a cute simple look yet still recognizable! It will definitely catch the attention of other anime fans.
5. Your Name: Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu
Who doesn’t know these characters from the famous movie, Your Name? You can cosplay these protagonists from the film without hassle! All you need is a long-sleeved polo and dark gray trousers/skirt. The necktie, ribbon, and vest can easily be bought at the mall!
Cosplay is a way to show off your love for your favorite anime characters. Another great way is to have them printed on custom embroidery patches. You can choose from a wide range of designs and styles. These patches can be added to your clothes, bags, hats, or anywhere else you want, as they can help you achieve a more authentic look and feel for your character. They can also be sent away as gifts to anyone who enjoys the same anime characters.
Most of these costumes are available on Shopee and Lazada. If you want a perfect fit, having it custom-made by your preferred tailor is the best choice! Wigs aren’t necessary as most of the characters on this list have black and dark-colored hair. Now, did you find anything that you would like to try next? Let us know!
