Luigi Costume
Step out of Mario's shadow with this iconic green look.
Luigi is Nintendo's beloved, slightly nervous plumber and Mario's taller twin brother. He is a classic choice for solo cosplayers, couples, and groups who want a nostalgic, instantly recognizable outfit. The signature look consists of a bright green long-sleeve shirt, blue denim overalls with oversized yellow buttons, white gloves, a green cap with an 'L' emblem, and a thick mustache.

- 3

Prepare your hat by cutting a white felt circle, drawing a bold green letter 'L' in the center, and securing it to the front of the green cap.

Peel the backing off the fake mustache and press it firmly onto your clean, dry upper lip.
