Men
Turkish Olympic Sharpshooter
In the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, Turkish sharpshooter Yusuf Dikeç went viral for his no frills setup and relaxed posture reminiscent of the average dad — or perhaps a hitman in disguise. No earplugs, no high-tech goggles, just a hand in his pocket was enough to win him a silver medal at the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. To go bare minimum on your costume, as Yusuf himself probably would do, all you need are black glasses, a white Turkiye shirt, and an air pistol. Add the salt-and-pepper wig or a green Nacar dive watch for the extra touch.
Pence from Kingdom Hearts 3
This article will be covering Pence’s outfit in Kingdom Hearts 3, if you would like to see his earlier iterations, please check out my first article here! His English voice actor changed in KH3 to Tristan Chase, but in Japanese he is still voiced by Hayato Taya.
Pence’s hair and eyes remain unchanged (both in dark and light brown as before), but his headband is a solid black instead of two toned. He wears a long, 3/4 sleeved shirt in black and white, with a similar DogStreet logo to his old shirt, with a striped sunset-toned bandana around his neck. His pants are long, plain black ones, and he wears laceless shoes in a similar color scheme to the rest of his outfit, including the colors from his bandana.
Volo from Baldur’s Gate 3
Volo is a character in Baldur’s Gate 3. He is a Human Wizard who appears in Act 1 of the game at the Sacred Pool, where he tries to interview a bear. If you speak with him, he then tries to interview you – though he won’t agree with your retelling entirely. See, he’s best known for his wildly inaccurate and exaggerated guidebooks. The player can allow Volo to join their camp. While there, he’ll make quite the gory attempt to remove the Mind Flayer tadpole from your eye. But he gives you an enchanted eye in compensation, which grants Volo’s Ersatz Eye as a permanent buff.
Bryce from The Real Bros of Simi Valley
Bryce is one of the four main characters in The Real Bros of Simi Valley. Created by comedian and actor Jimmy Tatro, the series debuted on YouTube and moved to Facebook Watch, with a movie now streaming on Roku. Bryce used to be a professional skateboarder, and similarly to the other bros, peaked in high school. However, a knee injury cut his career short, so he began “coaching” kids at the local skatepark. In the movie, Bryce picks up a career in teaching after returning to finish high school. Arrogant and profane, Bryce is the eldest of the bros, but that certainly doesn’t mean he’s the brightest. Getter, an American DJ, portrays Bryce. This is a guide for his outfit in the meme where he tries to fight baby Hawk, though any sort of skater style and tattoos achieves the look.
Reuben from A Quiet Place: Day One
Reuben (played by Alex Wolff) works at the hospice facility where Sam lives and takes her and other patients to a marionette show in New York City on the day the aliens invade in the horror prequel A Quiet Place: Day One. Reuben has long hair and a full beard, and shows himself to be a kind and caring person, reaching out to Sam even when she is prickly and combative. He promises to get her pizza if she comes with him to the City for the show. During the facility’s field trip, Reuben wears an unbuttoned flannel shirt over a graphic tee and a denim jacket. He also wears jeans and striped sneakers.
Gwimbly from Smiling Friends
Gwimbly is a character in the Adult Swim cartoon Smiling Friends, now streaming on HBO Max. In the late 90s, he was once the main character of the popular Gwimbly video series. Afterwards, he fell into poverty, relying on filming Cameos for income. Pim and Allan team up with him to relaunch his career. Ask Gwimbly to do his signature victory dance – he’ll usually do it once (or twice) for free.
Maxime Le Mal from Despicable Me 4
Maxime Le Mal is a character from the new Despicable Me: 4 and voiced by Will Ferrell. Maxime is nicknamed the ‘insect man’ and was a student at a school for villains. He is part cockroach and is seeking revenge on Gru.
To dress like Maxime, take a long green puffer jacket and using gold paint markers, draw on a similar floral design all over as the pattern. Take a fur dotted collar from a kings’ cape costume piece and attach it to the green jacket. Pair this with a green shirt, gold bow tie, white gloves, and green circular framed sunglasses. This would make a fun duo costume with his girlfriend in the movie, Valentina.
Dumb Donald from Fat Albert
In Fat Albert, Dumb Donald (voiced by Lou Scheimer) is a member of the Junkyard Gang. In the band, he plays a trombone pieced together with plumbing and parts of a gramophone. He’s simple-minded as his name suggests, but has bursts of intelligence every once in awhile.
Allen Llewellyn from AliceMare
Allen is the main player character in the RPGMaker game, AliceMare, created by Miwashiba.
All of the characters in AliceMare are based off of characters from various fairytales, and Allen’s inspiration is Alice from Alice in Wonderland. While most of the other characters are from different stories, two of the major characters Allen interacts with are the Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit.
Allen has short, fluffy blonde hair, and soft blue eyes. His main outfit is thematically Alice inspired, with a long sleeved white button up shirt, a small red and blue bolo tie with a gold clasp, dark blue wide leg shorts connected to similarly colored suspenders, knee high blue and white striped socks, and dark blue mary jane-styled shoes.
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.
