How to Dress Up Like a Captain America
So you want to be a Captain America and don’t have the time or money to go out and buy that outfit. Well, I have good news for you. You can purchase your own Captain America costume. Now you might be thinking that this is impossible but trust me it isn’t. This is especially true if you are like some of the others that wear the Captain America outfit as a costume play thing. If you want you can even do it in the comforts of your own home.
There is not much difference in what a person who wears the Captain America outfit looks like. That is because the costume is a one piece outfit that is red, white, and blue. If you were to look at the movie itself, you would see what I’m talking about. That is why I feel you will not find a lot of people out there wearing the actual Captain America costume. But that doesn’t mean that you cannot have the outfit.
The only thing you have to do is make it a reality by making yourself into a character. This can easily be accomplished by using a face mask. Once you have the mask on you can use your signature pants and shirt. This is a great way to be a Captain America and show off your unique skills.
To pull off this outfit well you have to keep your hair pulled up and your eyebrows plucked. A wig will also help to complete the look. Now I know you might be saying to yourself that you don’t have any hair that long and it won’t take much to apply a wig. That is a huge mistake though. You will end up looking like someone who is five years old because your wig will just not look right.
You can make the costume look like it was specially made for you. You can get Captain America’s head from the comic books and a pair of gloves from the movie. These two items alone will give you the unique look needed to pull off the costume. The legs from the costume can be made from blue jeans or tight white jeans. They can even be cut short so you don’t stick out as much.
Putting the costume on is quite easy but there are a couple of things you should take care of before you put the costume on. The first thing you need to do is to spray your costume with a seam sealer so the paint won’t wear off. The second thing you should do is to spray the bottom of the costume with polyurethane. Lastly you need to spray your captain America’s shield in order to complete the look of the costume.
