How to put it together
- 1
Put on the dark brown long-sleeve shirt and matching brown pants as your base layer.
- 2
Carefully slip the Hershey's bar tunic over your head, aligning your arms through the side armholes.
- 3
Adjust the shoulders of the tunic so it hangs straight down the front and back of your body.
- 4
If DIYing, secure silver foil tape along the top collar of your shirt to look like the exposed inner wrapper.
- 5
Pair with simple dark brown or black sneakers to keep the focus on the candy wrapper.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair neat and pulled back so it doesn't block the tunic's collar. Makeup can be kept natural, or you can add fun chocolate-brown lipstick or eyeshadow for a themed touch.
