group: Add Grunkle Stan in a fez and suit, Wendy in a flannel shirt and trapper hat, and Soos in a green question mark t-shirt.
kids: This comfortable, everyday-clothing style is perfect for kids; swap the vest for a lightweight navy tee if it's too warm.
Plus size: Use a relaxed-fit navy blue utility vest and comfortable stretch-cotton gray shorts for an easy, breathable fit.
pet: Dress a pet in a small pink knit sweater to look like Mabel's pet pig, Waddles.

Tips

The Journal 3 prop is the ultimate identifier for this costume; don't skip it if you want to be recognized instantly.
This is an exceptionally comfortable costume for outdoor conventions or warm Halloween nights due to the shorts and t-shirt.
For photos, pose while pointing a flashlight or looking intensely at the pages of the journal.
If you are doing a Mabel costume instead, look for a knit sweater rather than a printed sweatshirt for a more authentic, cozy look.
