Channel your inner mischief-maker with this iconic purple and dark purple look.
Waluigi is the tall, lanky, and delightfully mischievous rival to Luigi in the Super Mario franchise. He is a popular costume choice for gamers and group outfits due to his expressive personality and distinct color scheme. The look is defined by a bright purple long-sleeve shirt, dark purple overalls, a matching purple cap with an upside-down 'L', and a sharp, stylized mustache.
