How to put it together
- 1
Put on the dark brown short-sleeve collared shirt and tuck it into the brown shorts or pants.
- 2
Secure your pants or shorts with a simple black or brown belt.
- 3
Cut out a shield shape from the yellow felt, and a slightly smaller shield from the brown felt. Glue the brown shield onto the yellow shield, then cut out the letters 'UPS' from yellow felt and glue them to the center. Pin or fabric-glue this logo to the left chest of the shirt.
- 4
Create a smaller version of the felt logo and attach it to the front center of the brown baseball cap.
- 5
Put on the cap and wear comfortable black, brown, or white athletic sneakers with white crew socks.

Makeup & hair
Keep hair neat and tucked under the baseball cap. Makeup is not required, but a clean, friendly, everyday look works best.
