How to put it together
- 1
Put on the crisp white or light blue button-down dress shirt and button it completely to the collar.
- 2
Tuck the shirt tightly into your dark suit trousers or pencil skirt.
- 3
Tie your conservative necktie with a neat, standard knot.
- 4
Put on your matching dark suit jacket or blazer.
- 5
Clip your custom Lumon Industries ID badge to your left lapel or breast pocket so it is clearly visible.
- 6
Style your hair in a neat, slightly stiff, parted corporate look.
- 7
Carry a show-accurate prop, like a green tote bag, a black binder, or a small plate of melon balls.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup minimal, matte, and natural to mimic the sterile, fluorescent office lighting. Hair should be neatly combed, parted, and styled in a conservative, slightly retro corporate fashion.

Tips
- Keep your expression neutral, slightly dazed, or politely vacant for photos to capture the 'severed' look.
- Print out a 'Lumon Employee Handbook' cover and wrap it around a standard black binder as an easy prop.
- For a fun party prop, carry a green plastic bowl filled with melon balls or a single blue balloon.
- Ensure your ID badge is printed clearly, as it is the key element that distinguishes this from regular office wear.

Did you know? The costume designer for Severance, Sandy Kenyon, intentionally chose slightly outdated, timeless corporate styles from the late 1970s through the 1990s to make the severed floor feel unstuck in time.
