How to put it together

  1. 1

    Put on the brown dress pants and tuck in the white short-sleeve dress shirt.

  2. 2

    Tie the red and grey zig-zag necktie, keeping it slightly loose at the collar for a stressed office-worker look.

  3. 3

    Apply the red face paint evenly over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area, or slip on your red headpiece.

  4. 4

    Style your hair straight up using strong-hold gel and temporary red hair color spray, or put on the DIY flame headband.

  5. 5

    Adopt a scowling, folded-arms pose to complete the angry persona.
