Are you looking to wear cosplay in a professional manner?

Hundreds of people have asked me this question over the course of my career as a professional cosplayer. I’ve collected some of the best tips and tricks that I’ve learned along the way and I can’t wait to share them with you!

I want to start out by saying that there is nothing wrong with wearing your costume in public. It’s totally okay to go to a convention or a party and dress up like your favorite character. But if you’re at work, or in class, or are around other people who might not understand why you’re dressed up like that, it can be embarrassing for everyone involved.

In fact, some people think it’s bad luck if they see someone wearing their costume while they’re working. That’s why I always wear my costume under a lab coat when doing experiments.

So what do you do? Don’t worry! I’m here to help!

Halloween and cosplay are great ways to express your spirit, but it can be a challenge to wear your costume in a professional setting. Here are some tips on how to wear your favorite costume without getting in trouble at work.

If you’re going out on the town and not planning on stopping by the office, you should have no problem wearing your costume. However, if you’ll be stopping by the office before or after a party, or just want to celebrate with your colleagues, you’ll need to make a few modifications.

Cosplay costumes are rarely appropriate for the workplace. Even if you typically dress informally for work, an elaborate cosplay costume might still be over the top. The best way to determine whether or not your costume is appropriate for work is to ask yourself: “Would I feel comfortable wearing this in front of my boss?” If the answer is no, then it’s probably not office-friendly.

Halloween costumes are often more family friendly than cosplay costumes. If your Halloween costume is too suggestive for work, consider changing out of it before arriving at the office. You can also wear less revealing clothing underneath your costume and change into it after work.

No matter what costume you choose to wear this Halloween, it’s important that

Cosplay is a fun activity for many people. For some, it is an art; for others, a hobby and passion. No matter what category you fall under, it’s a great way to meet people with similar interests and even make new friends! (I have made quite a few friends through cosplay, actually.) That being said, there are times when you might want to wear your costume outside of a convention setting—for example, if you are going to a Halloween party or event. And while this is perfectly fine and encouraged, there are a few things to keep in mind so that you can do it in a professional manner.

The first thing I will say is this: Do not wear your costume to work unless you work in an accepting environment (for example, if all of your coworkers know about your hobby) or if your office is having an event where costumes are encouraged (like for Halloween). There’s nothing wrong with wearing your costume at other times, but wearing it to work without cause can be seen as unprofessional and distract from the job at hand.

Once you get past the workplace issue, though, the rest is easy! When deciding where to wear your costume outside of conventions, consider what kind of place it is and

As we all know, Halloween is one of the biggest holidays of the year. Many people love to dress up and immerse themselves in a different world. This is perfectly fine when you’re at home with the kids or hanging out with friends, but what about when you’re going out and about in public?

Many costume shops will try to sell you a “sexy” version of your favorite characters, but these costumes are often more embarrassing than they are sexy. For example, instead of wearing something that shows off too much skin, you can wear a costume that still shows off your favorite character while being classy and fun!

If you want to wear a costume without embarrassing yourself, then here are some tips for you:

Halloween is a holiday that lends itself to a certain amount of silliness.

If you want to participate in the fun without making yourself look like a fool, there are some things you should understand about how people make fun of cosplayers:

1. If you dress up like a character from a movie or TV show, expect someone to ask you what character you are supposed to be, and then expect them to snicker when you tell them.

2. If your costume is something that real people wear (like a police officer, or a nurse), expect someone to ask why your mundane job requires you to wear that outfit, and then expect them to snicker when they learn it’s just your Halloween costume.

3. Expect people to point out that your costume is not as good as someone else’s costume who dressed as the same character.

4. Expect people to point out imperfections in your costume or makeup.

5. Expect people who recognize your character will know more about that character than you do and will be happy to tell you about it even if you don’t want them to.

6. If your costume has any kind of armor or weapons attached, expect someone with experience dressing up for battle reenactments or Renaissance festivals will be

I will start with the obvious disclaimer that I am not a cosplayer, and that cosplay is a subculture to which I have been an outsider looking in.

With that out of the way, let’s get started!

What is Cosplay?

According to Oxford Dictionaries, cosplay is a noun that means the practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime.

Cosplay is short for costume play. It is a type of performance art in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character. The term cosplay was coined by Nobuyuki Takahashi while attending the 1984 World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) in Los Angeles. He was impressed by the hall and the fans and reported on both in Japanese science fiction magazines. The coinage reflects a common Japanese method of abbreviation in which the first two moras of a pair of words are used to form an independent compound. Costume becomes kosu (コス), and play becomes pure (プレ).

The term cosplay has been capitalized as official English term since 1996. Some terms are subject to varied use in different communities. Terms such as costume play, costuming, and masquerade are considered archaic or pejorative by some members of the cosplay community; however, they were regularly used in the past by convention-goers.[1] Cosplayers often wear
