Bottom
Blue jeans or khaki pants
Shoes
Sturdy boots or any comfy shoes
Makeup
Optional fur patches and dark nose
Hair
Wild and shaggy

Makeup

  1. Sponge brown face paint in patches along the cheeks and jawline.
  2. Use a darker brown or black to draw short fur strokes over the patches.
  3. Paint the tip of the nose dark.

Hair: Backcomb or tousle your hair and, if you like, add colored hairspray or a shaggy wig.

How to put it together

  1. Put on the plaid shirt and roll the sleeves.
  2. Add jeans or khakis, with some loose, rough edges.
  3. Tear the shirt lightly at the shoulder seams, or leave a few buttons undone.
  4. Style wild hair and add optional face paint.

Two variations

  • Full Werewolf

    Cover more of the face with fur paint and add a shaggy brown wig.

  • Trail Camper

    Add a backpack and beanie for a werewolf on a weekend camping trip.

Safety note

Use skin-safe face paint with a patch test, and keep paint away from eyes. Keep any red stains tiny and stylized, and make sure any wig does not cover your eyes.
