How to put it together
- 1
Put on the khaki pants and pull them up to your waist.
- 2
Slip on the cream wrap tunic, crossing the left side over the right side to create a deep V-neckline.
- 3
Secure the tunic in place by wrapping the brown utility belt tightly around your waist over the fabric.
- 4
Put on your tan boots, then tuck the bottom hem of the khaki pants into your socks or the tops of the boots.
- 5
Wrap the tan fabric strips or bandages snugly around your lower legs, starting at the ankle and spiraling up to just below the knee, tucking the ends in to secure them.
- 6
Put on the sandy blonde wig, parting it down the middle and shaking it out for a slightly messy, windblown look.
- 7
Ignite your blue lightsaber prop and prepare to face the Empire.
Makeup & hair
Keep your face clean and natural, adding a light sweep of bronzer across your nose and cheeks for a sun-kissed, desert-dwelling look. Style your hair or wig into a shaggy, feathered 1970s cut with a soft middle part.
