How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white button-up shirt, leaving the top one or two buttons undone for a relaxed look.
- 2
Roll the sleeves up to your elbows if you are using a long-sleeved shirt.
- 3
Put on the black trousers and secure them with a simple black belt.
- 4
Tie the skinny black necktie loosely around your neck, keeping the knot resting slightly below the open collar.
- 5
Slip on the starter cord necklace so the triangular pull ring hangs right at the center of your collarbone.
- 6
Put on the blonde wig, using hair wax or gel to style the choppy, chaotic spikes and messy bangs.
- 7
Lace up your red and white sneakers to complete the outfit.
Makeup & hair
Style a short, messy yellowish-blonde wig with choppy layers and bangs that fall into your eyes. Keep makeup minimal, but you can use light brown or grey eyeshadow under your eyes to mimic Denji's tired, sleep-deprived look.
