Wrap the black tactical belt around your waist, adjust it for a snug fit, and fasten the buckle in the front.
4
Put on your black boots and tuck the cuffs of the jumpsuit pants into the tops of the boots.
5
Slip on the black gloves, ensuring they cover your wrists under the jumpsuit sleeves.

Place the black geometric mask over your face, secure the strap behind your head, and pull the jumpsuit's hood up over your head.

Makeup & hair

Because this costume features a full-face mask and a hood, no makeup or hair styling is required. If you plan to take the mask off, keep your hair neat or tied back to prevent it from snagging on the mask straps.

Squid Game for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: One person dresses as a pink Guard while the other wears a green Player tracksuit with a custom number patch.
group: Have one leader dress as the Front Man in a black geometric mask and long black coat, while others dress as Guards with different mask shapes.
kids: A miniature pink jumpsuit with a lightweight plastic mask is highly recognizable and comfortable for trick-or-treating.

Tips

The mesh masks can restrict peripheral vision, so take extra care when walking in dark areas or down stairs.
If you are attending an indoor party, keep the jumpsuit unzipped slightly at the chest to stay cool before putting the mask on.
For photos, stand perfectly still with your hands clasped in front of you to mimic the eerie, disciplined posture of the show's guards.
If you choose the Player variant, use iron-on transfer paper to easily apply your favorite three-digit number to a green tracksuit.
