How to put it together
- 1
Put on your neutral base layer of a black long-sleeve shirt and black pants.
- 2
Carefully slip the foam tequila bottle tunic over your head, guiding your arms through the side openings.
- 3
Adjust the shoulders of the tunic so it hangs straight and flat against your torso.
- 4
Secure the bottle cap hat or mini sombrero headband onto your head.
- 5
Carry your lime wedge prop or sling the lime-shaped bag over your shoulder to finish the look.
Makeup & hair
Keep your hair simple and styled away from your face so it doesn't interfere with the tunic neck or hat. Clean, natural makeup or festive party glitter works perfectly.
