How to put it together

  1. 1

    Choose your character: opt for Six's yellow raincoat look or Mono's paper bag and trench coat ensemble.

  2. 2

    If playing Six, put on the oversized yellow raincoat and pull the large hood forward to partially shadow your face.

  3. 3

    If playing Mono, cut two small, round eye holes into the brown paper bag, slip it over your head, and adjust for visibility.

  4. 4

    For Mono, put on the dark grey trousers, roll the cuffs up to mid-calf, and wear the oversized olive or grey trench coat over them.

  5. 5

    Go barefoot to match the game's authentic, vulnerable aesthetic, or wear flesh-colored socks/invisible flats for comfort.

  6. 6

    Carry your character's signature prop: a brass lighter for Six, or a small toy flashlight or key for Mono.

Makeup & hair

For Six, style your hair in a short, dark bob with straight bangs that cover your eyes, or use a wig. For Mono, no hair or makeup is needed as the paper bag completely covers your head.

Tips

  • If you choose to go barefoot for photos, bring slip-on shoes or flesh-colored flats to wear while walking around outdoors or at a convention.
  • To make Mono's paper bag mask sturdier, line the inside with a thin cardboard band or a clean baseball cap with the brim removed.
  • Use a matte black mesh fabric glued inside Mono's eye holes to hide your eyes while still allowing you to see out.

Little Nightmares costume FAQ

How do I make Mono's paper bag mask?
Take a standard brown paper grocery bag, place it over your head to mark where your eyes are, and cut out two small circular eye holes. You can line the inside with black mesh to hide your eyes.
What does Six wear under the yellow raincoat?
In the game, Six appears to wear nothing visible under her oversized raincoat, but for comfort, you should wear a simple t-shirt and shorts that are shorter than the raincoat.
Is a Little Nightmares costume comfortable for conventions?
Yes, both outfits are very comfortable. Just make sure to wear flesh-colored shoes or thin flats instead of going completely barefoot on hard convention floors.
