How to put it together
- 1
For Jesse, put on the highly oversized graphic hoodie, letting it hang loosely.
- 2
Pair the hoodie with loose, baggy blue jeans and classic flat-soled skate sneakers.
- 3
Place the black knit beanie over your head, leaving a small amount of forehead or hair peeking out.
- 4
For Jane, wear the fitted black turtleneck tucked neatly into the black skinny jeans.
- 5
Layer the black faux-leather motorcycle jacket over the turtleneck and put on black combat boots.
- 6
Put on the black wig with blunt bangs, ensuring it sits straight and frames the face.
- 7
Stand together, with Jesse adopting a slouchy, hands-in-pockets stance and Jane posing with a cool, poised expression.
Makeup & hair
Jesse requires minimal styling—just light stubble or a drawn-on goatee if desired. Jane's look relies on pale foundation, sharp winged black liquid eyeliner, and deep red or plum lipstick to match her alternative aesthetic.
