What do I need for a basic DIY baseball costume?

All you need is a baseball cap, a button-up shirt or jersey, long socks pulled up to your knees, and some black eyeliner smudged under your eyes.

It is highly recommended to wear regular sneakers instead of cleats, as cleats can ruin indoor floors and are uncomfortable to walk in on pavement.

How to put it together

1
Put on the white or pinstriped baseball pants, pulling them up comfortably.
2
Put on the knee-high athletic socks, pulling them all the way up to meet the bottom of the pants.
3
Slip on the baseball jersey, leaving the top one or two buttons open for a relaxed look, and tuck it in or leave it loose.
4
Place the baseball cap on your head, facing forward or slightly tilted.
5
Apply two thick swipes of black eye makeup or adhesive eye black strips directly onto your cheekbones.
6
Put on your baseball glove on your non-dominant hand, or carry a lightweight foam bat as your primary prop.

Makeup & hair

Keep hair practical and athletic, such as a ponytail or low bun tucked through the back of the baseball cap. Apply two simple black swipes of eye black on the cheekbones under each eye.

Tips

For safety at parties or crowded events, always opt for a lightweight plastic, foam, or inflatable bat instead of real wood or metal.
Wear comfortable sneakers or turf shoes instead of metal cleats to avoid damaging indoor floors.
If going as a group, decide on a cohesive color scheme (like classic red and white or navy blue) to look like a real team.
Tuck your pants into your socks just below the knee to get that authentic, old-school 'knicker' look.
