This Sailor Moon Closet Cosplay Will Have You Fighting Evil By Moonlight
Win love by daylight by building your own iconic Sailor Moon closet cosplay!
If you grew up in the 1990s and had access to Cartoon Network, you were introduced to the Sailor Moon anime. I vividly remember RUNNING home from elementary school every day to catch the last 15 minutes of each episode- and my life was forever changed. As adults with tax-payer vibes and plenty of disposable income, it’s no surprise our whole generation flocks to Sailor Scout cosplays. It’s time to pay tribute to the queen of combat and meatballs- with our Sailor Moon feature!
Usagi, (also known as Serena in the American adaptation) is a ridiculous teenager with three things on her mind- arcade games, food, and boys. Through trials and tribulations, (and many many magical clothing transformation montages), Usagi evolves as a character and costumed hero. The iconic Japanese school-girl skirt is elevated to a high fantasy mystique in this series, and Sailor Scout cosplays are a staple of cosplay tradition. Whether you create a Sailor Scout cosplay from scratch or purchase pieces to build a closet cosplay, this list is a great resource for beginning your build process.
Sailor Moon Closet Cosplay: The Jumpsuit
If you want a ready-to-wear, hit-the-convention-floor bodysuit base, this is a great piece for you. Dress it up with jeans, or use it as a basis for a more thorough Sailor Moon closet cosplay. Either way, it’s cute and ready to court!
If you’re looking for a cleaner, more pared-down base layer for a home-built cosplay, this simple and chic bodysuit is a great starting point. You’ll be free to add all the additional details you like- or keep it simple as a staple piece for day wear. You can always have attachable and detachable accessories to keep it versatile!
Sailor Moon Closet Cosplay: The Skirt
Skirting is the easiest piece to do ready-to-wear. A simple blue schoolgirl skirt with pleats is all you need, and it can double for a regular wardrobe. Rock what you got, get something with pockets… whatever suits your fancy!
Sailor Moon Closet Cosplay: The Boots
There are a TON of different directions to go with the boots for Sailor Moon. Flatter boots are better for acrobatics and maneuverability. Spiked heels are great for a night on the town or a great fashion statement for a photoshoot. But if you want a showy, easier-to-wear version that mirrors the anime, this wedged heel is a great go-to.
Sailor Moon Closet Cosplay: The Gloves
Keep it simple with the gloves. A simple white glove, whether satin sheen or matte, is all you need. Add additional trim or layers if you want to get specific, but this is a great piece to keep neutral and versatile.
Sailor Moon Closet Cosplay: The Moon Stick
If you want one accessory to drive home your concept and make it VERY apparent who you’re cosplaying, a Moon Stick is the way to go. It’s a great accessory to keep on your nerdy bookshelf and will be immediately recognizable to any fan of the show. If you’re going to rock a statement piece, a moon wand/stick is the perfect compliment.
