Build the look

Three decisions, then a wear test.

  1. 01

    Set the base

    Start with plum sweatshirt and black trousers. Keep this layer comfortable enough to wear for the whole plan.

  2. 02

    Make it readable

    Add one wide black fabric triangle and curved brim printed across a vest as the clearest clue. Let that single shape do more work than several small props.

  3. 03

    Finish, then test

    Use a gold edge line keeping the form graphic rather than wearable to complete the idea. Photograph the look from front and side, then sit, turn, and climb a step; each profile must be printed or sewn flat below the face, with no actual broom, flame, bird, animal role, cauldron, pointed rigid brim, projecting gargoyle, or sharp ironwork.
