A Cosplayer's Guide to Perfecting That Stalker Look

Ever wondered how to perfect that elusive 'stalker' look? No, I’m not talking about becoming a real-life, creepy, lurking-in-the-shadows stalker. I'm talking about 'stalker' cosplay! The kind that turns heads at cosplaying events, and gets you all the likes on social media.

Well, my friends, you’ve stumbled across the right blog post. I'm here to help take your stalker cosplay game from 'Meh' to 'Wowzers!'. So sit back, grab a snack, and let's dive into the world of 'Stalker Chic'.

Step 1: The Outfit

The first step to any successful cosplay look is nailing the outfit. Your best bet for a top-notch stalker costume is our beloved store Costume Shop. They have a wide array of sinister and sleek costumes that will help you channel your inner stalker.

Remember, the key to an impressive stalker cosplay is in details. Think long, dark trench coats or hoodies, chunky boots, and don’t forget your darkest pair of sunglasses - because stalkers love mystery, right?

Step 2: The Accessories

No stalker cosplay is complete without suitable accessories. Perhaps a faux telescope for all that faux stalking you'll be doing? Or maybe a set of walkie-talkies? And of course, a mysterious briefcase. What’s in it? Nobody knows. That’s the beauty of it!

Step 3: The Behavior

Once you’ve got your outfit and accessories down, it’s time to focus on behavior. Now, I’m not saying go and lurk in the corner of the room all night (unless that’s your thing), but a little bit of character acting can go a long way.

Try practicing your 'I’m mysterious and aloof' look in the mirror. Master the art of walking around without making a sound, and perhaps even work on your sleuthing skills. Remember, it’s all in good fun.

Step 4: The Hair and Makeup

Now to the final touches - hair and makeup. Stalkers tend to stay under the radar, so think subtle and understated. If you’re wearing a hood or hat as part of your costume, consider styling your hair to fit neatly underneath. As for makeup, less is more. A touch of dark shadow under the eyes to give that 'I’ve been up all night watching you' look can be very effective.
