How to put it together
- 1
Put on the black trousers or leggings and a plain black t-shirt as your base layer.
- 2
Slip into the long hooded robe, adjusting the shoulders so it drapes evenly to the floor.
- 3
Secure the robe at the waist using a black sash, rope, or belt if needed.
- 4
Put on the occult pendant necklace, ensuring it sits visibly over the front of the robe.
- 5
Carefully put on the goat mask, adjusting the elastic strap so the eyeholes align comfortably.
- 6
Pull the hood of the robe up over the back of the mask, framing the horns.
- 7
Put on the black gloves or hoof gloves to complete the obscured, non-human look.
Makeup & hair
If your mask doesn't cover your entire head, apply black face paint around your eyes so your skin doesn't show through the eyeholes. Keep hair tied back securely under the mask or hood.
