What does MJ wear in the Spider-Man comics?

Her most iconic comic look is a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and a green trench coat or jacket, paired with her signature bright red hair.

Is the Spider-Man suit hard to see out of?

Most modern costume suits feature white mesh eyes that allow decent visibility in well-lit areas, though it can be tricky in dark rooms.

How can we make this a low-budget costume?

MJ can be put together entirely from thrift store clothes. For Spider-Man, you can use a simple printed Spider-Man t-shirt and jeans instead of a full bodysuit.
