Easy Halloween Costume Ideas: Velma from Scooby Doo | Chimera Costumes

Closet Cosplay is the perfect answer when you dont have time to make something new from scratch. I like to 'shop in my closet' for these, creating a low- or zero-cost outfit by reusing what I own already instead of buying new things. For Velma, what you want is something like this: • orange sweater or shirt  • orange shorts or skirt • tall orange socks • sensible shoes  • glasses I think the most important details are the orange and the glasses. You can wear orange leggings instead of socks + shorts and it will still be recognizable as Velma. But if you change the color of her clothes it gets much harder for people to immediately know who you're supposed to be.  That's actually one of the most important tricks when putting together a simple Halloween costume or closet cosplay: figure out which details “sell” the character. Once you've got those, you can have fun with the rest. A Velma with purple hair? Sure, why not? ???? #closetcosplay #simplecosplay #loweffortcosplay #scoobydoo #chimeracostumes
