What do you wear under a condiment tunic?

It is best to wear solid black or neutral-colored leggings and a long-sleeve shirt so the bright red or yellow bottle stands out.

How do you make a DIY ketchup and mustard costume?

Get a red and a yellow t-shirt, use white fabric paint or felt sheets to create the labels on the chest, and make cone hats out of matching poster board.

Are condiment costumes comfortable for parties?

Yes, especially if you use the t-shirt method. Foam tunics are also lightweight, though they can make sitting down slightly awkward.

How to put it together

1
Put on your neutral base layers, such as a black long-sleeve shirt and black pants, to make the bright tunic pop.
2
Slip the red, yellow, or green condiment tunic over your head, ensuring the printed label faces forward and is centered.
3
Adjust the shoulders and sides of the tunic so it hangs straight and mimics a rigid squeeze bottle shape.
4
Place the matching cone-shaped nozzle hat on your head, securing the elastic band under your chin or behind your ears.
5
Pair with simple, comfortable sneakers to keep the focus entirely on the colorful bottle design.

Makeup & hair

Keep makeup minimal and clean. For hair, tuck long hair into the cone hat or style it in a sleek ponytail so it doesn't distract from the bottle-cap headpiece.

Tips

If using a foam tunic, steam it gently a few days before wearing to remove any creases from packaging.
Wear comfortable walking shoes, as these costumes are highly popular for active social events and trick-or-treating.
Keep your hands free by wearing a black fanny pack underneath the tunic to hold your phone and keys.
