I’ve Been Busy Procrastinating On This Daria Closet Cosplay All Day
I only feel like I’m wasting my life when I’m not working on Daria closet cosplays.
Raise your hand if your childhood was defined by the snark and sarcasm that is Daria. Go on, we’ll wait. If you were lucky enough to have MTV access “back in the day” it’s likely you came across a re-run of this iconic 1990s classic. Daria discussed elements of dysfunctional families, problematic high school social dynamics, and the ever-present topic- HOW exactly can you get your best friend’s dreamy rock band brother to notice you?!
Though the days of Daria are long-past, there was a momentary hope for a reboot. We even thought we had FINALLY achieved success when the Aubrey Plaza Daria Movie Trailer dropped… A cruel twist of fanfiction fate. Though the Daria movie never happened, we still carry a torch for this disillusioned teen. To celebrate our love of all things Daria maudlin, we’ve put together a little list of costume options for your next closet cosplay endeavor!
Daria Closet Cosplay:
No Daria cosplay would be complete without her iconic jacket, skirt, and boots. Through thick and thin, cheerleaders and idiotic football players, Daria’s jacket is the constant. This is a version more suitable for both business AND Daria, but if you want to go more edgy punk, we have an option for you too.
This military-meets-modern jacket is a great blend of streetwear and utility. It comes in deeper tones as well as brown, but this would be a great addition to your cosplay closet.
Daria Closet Cosplay: The Shirt
You could really do any solid-colored shirt under the jacket, and it would work just fine. But if you want to go for screen accuracy, anything mustard-colored will key you in.
Daria Closet Cosplay: The Skirt
Daria wears a very simple, understated black pleated skirt. This could be a staple piece used for a thousand different cosplays (basically ANYTHING in the Anime genre), or something you pick up specifically for Daria.
Daria Closet Cosplay: The Boots
Ah, yes. The boots. Is there anything better and more powerful than a classic combat boot? Another piece that goes with EVERYTHING, we’ve dressed this up with a bit of platform for variety. Throw on any old boots you have hanging out in the closet from your grunge days, and you’re street-ready!
Daria Closet Cosplay: The Glasses
It wouldn’t be a Daria cosplay without her glasses. The thicker and rounder, the better! You can go with a prescription if you need them, but some simple clear lenses will work just fine as well.
Daria Closet Cosplay: Sick Sad World Hoodie
If you want to go above and beyond in your Daria tribute, throw on this Sick Sad World hoodie. It’s more merch than cosplay, but we know Daria would approve. Rock on!
Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. We’ll be overcome with emotion if you click the links above and check out our affiliate store. It won’t work unless you try, or something.
