How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white short-sleeved button-up shirt and button it completely to the top.
- 2
Secure the red bow tie or ribbon directly under the shirt collar.
- 3
Slip on the high-waisted dark green pleated skirt, tucking the white shirt neatly inside.
- 4
Layer the oversized pink cardigan over the shirt, leaving it completely unbuttoned and letting it drape off your shoulders slightly.
- 5
Pull on the white crew socks, pulling them up to mid-calf, and step into the brown loafers.
- 6
For Okarun's alternate look: Wear a black high-collar gakuran jacket closed, dark trousers, and put on the round wire-rimmed glasses.
Makeup & hair
For Momo, style your hair into two high pigtails with face-framing bangs, or use a dark brown cosplay wig. Keep makeup natural with a touch of pink lip gloss. For Okarun, style your hair messy and slightly spiked forward, and wear round glasses.
Dandadan for couples, groups, kids & more
- couples
- One person dresses as Momo Ayase (pink cardigan and green skirt) and the other dresses as Okarun (black gakuran jacket and round glasses).
- group
- Add characters like Seiira Shiratori (in her purple uniform), Aira, or someone wearing a Turbo Granny mascot head.
- kids
- A simplified version using a pink cardigan, white shirt, and green skirt for an easy, comfortable kid's costume.
- Plus size
- Look for a pleated skirt with an elastic waistband and an extra-large oversized cardigan for a comfortable, screen-accurate drape.
Tips
- The key to Momo's look is the slouchy fit of the cardigan; buy it 1-2 sizes larger than your usual size.
- If wearing this to a convention, the loafers are flat and comfortable, but insert gel insoles for extra support during long walks.
- Carry a small plush Turbo Granny (in her cat form) as a fun, highly accurate prop for photos.
