Build the look
Three decisions, then a wear test.
- 01
Set the base
Start with long coat, boots, and knit layers. Keep this layer comfortable enough to wear for the whole plan.
- 02
Make it readable
Add a battery lantern as the clearest clue. Let that single shape do more work than several small props.
- 03
Finish, then test
Use old key ring and weathered scarf to complete the idea. Keep ears, wings, hats, and handheld clues soft, light, and clear of the wearer’s face.
