Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh (aka Pooh Bear or just Pooh) is a good-natured, though sometimes absentminded yellow bear. Based on the character of A.A. Milne’s books, Pooh is stuffed teddy bear that belongs to Christopher Robin. He loves to eat honey, as indicated by his round belly. His usual phrase is “Oh Bother.” There’s a few ways to style an outfit inspired by this adorable character. You can lean more toward cosplay with the bear ears, wear the bucket hat for a “Disney-bound,” or get cozy in a onesie. This guide includes masculine and feminine options, but feel free to wear what feels comfortable for you!

Pip Fitz-Amobi from A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi is the protagonist of the Netflix series, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. The six episode series is based on the YA novel of the same name written by Holly Jackson. The story follows Pip as she investigates the murder of Andie Bell, which occurred five years prior in her hometown. Everyone believes Andie’s boyfriend, Sal Singh, was the culprit, as he confessed and took his own life shortly after. However, Pip believes Sal was innocent, and that the real killer is still out there. You may recognize her actress, Emma Myers, as Enid Sinclair from Wednesday.

Huckleberry Pie from Strawberry Shortcake

Huckleberry Pie is one of the only male characters from the Strawberry Shortcake franchise, appearing in numerous series. He is a fisherman and one of Strawberry Shortcake’s friends. He also has a puppy named Pupcake.

To dress like Huckleberry, wear a straw bucket hat and attach faux blueberries or huckleberries at the side (I’ve attached blueberries in this case as they’re brighter in color like the original design). Wear a purple sweater over blue overalls. Roll the legs of the overalls into cuffs, then take green and white striped fabric and cover it either by sewing or glueing, hiding the seams in the folded areas. You can also use this fabric to cut out a large square to tie as a bandana to wear around your neck, and if you’d like to take the costume even further, carry any stuffed dog and cover it ears and one paw in the striped fabric by glueing or sewing like patches.
