How to put it together

1
Put on the solid black long-sleeve shirt and black pants or leggings as your base layer.
2
Slip the orange carrot tunic over your head, aligning your arms with the armholes.
3
Adjust the tunic so it hangs evenly, ensuring the tapered bottom allows you to walk comfortably.
4
Place the green leafy headband or hood on your head, positioning the leaves so they stand upright.
5
Pair with simple black or neutral sneakers to complete the look.

Makeup & hair

Keep hair pulled back or tucked under the headpiece so the green leafy top remains the main focus. Makeup is optional, but a touch of orange face paint on the cheeks or nose can add a playful, festive touch.

Carrot for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: Pair up as a carrot and a rabbit, or go as a classic peas and carrots duo.
group: Create a garden salad group with friends dressed as tomatoes, lettuce, peas, and broccoli.
kids: A simple orange fleece bunting or tunic with a green felt leaf hat is comfortable and warm for toddlers.

Tips

If your foam tunic arrives creased, hang it up or steam it on low heat to smooth out the wrinkles before wearing.
Wear comfortable shoes, as the tunic naturally draws attention down toward your legs and feet.
For outdoor events in cold weather, layer warm thermals under the black base layer.
