    Choose a base layer of lightweight, breathable fabrics to handle the evening humidity and heat.

  3. 3

    Add character-specific colors and simple accessories like a themed headband or jewelry.

  4. 4

    Put on broken-in walking shoes to ensure comfort over miles of walking.

    Secure your hair in a style that stays neat in high humidity and doesn't interfere with your headband.
