Rick Sanchez Costume
Wubba lubba dub dub! Master the multiverse's smartest scientist look.
Rick Sanchez is the cynical, dimension-hopping genius from Adult Swim's animated hit Rick and Morty. He is a highly popular costume choice for Halloween and conventions due to his instantly recognizable silhouette. The look is incredibly simple to assemble, requiring just a classic white lab coat, a light blue shirt, brown pants, and his signature spiky blue hair.
