Black Canary Pants
Keeping with the black clothing theme you will also need a pair of pants for this costume.
The best and easiest way to replicate the pants that the character wears is to buy a pair of black faux leather pants. These pants should be tight fitting to your legs as they will have to be pushed into the boots you will be wearing. |
Black Canary Mask
