How to put it together

1
Put on the green fitted undershirt and tuck it securely into the dark trousers.
2
Thread the green and yellow studded belts through your pant loops, crossing them over each other to create an asymmetrical 'X' shape at the hips.
3
Put on the long dark trench coat, keeping it completely unbuttoned to showcase the shirt and belts.
4
Attach the thick gold chain to the left collar of the trench coat using a heavy-duty safety pin so it drapes down to the chest.
5
Style your hair at the back of your head into messy, spiky tufts using strong-hold hair gel.
6
Place the modified cadet cap on your head, pulling some of your hair through the open back of the cap so the hat and hair appear to merge.

Makeup & hair

Use a brow pencil to draw sharp, dramatic anime-style eyebrows. Style the back of your hair with heavy-hold wax to create dark, spiky tufts that blend directly into the torn back of the cap.

Tips

Practice the iconic 'JoJo poses' in the mirror to bring the character's dramatic energy to life in photos.
Use a lightweight plastic chain instead of real metal to keep the coat collar from sagging under the weight.
If you are making the hat yourself, use safety pins on the inside to secure it to your hair so it doesn't slip.
