Clothing is the core of cosplay. Men and women need to pay more attention to the details of clothing when cosplaying. The following are common types of women’s clothing and suitable cosplay characters:

| Kimono/Yukata | "Demon Slayer" Butterfly Ninja, "Gintama" Kagura | Pay attention to the way the belt is tied to avoid looseness |
2. Makeup and hairstyle
The makeup of men’s cosplay and women’s clothing needs to highlight female features. Here are some key steps:
