Blues Brothers Costume – Blues Brothers
Making your own Blues Brothers costume is exceptionally easy. Once you have the black suit and necktie the black sunglasses is what will make this costume instantly recognisable. Here is everything you will need to make your own homemade Blues Brothers costume.
Blues Brothers Suit
It was never going to be of any surprise that you will need a black suit to make your Blues Brothers costume.
There is no specific brand of suit that you will need. The main factors is that you choose a black suit. |
Blues Brothers Shirt
The next item of clothing you will need is a button down formal style shirt.
This shirt should be white just like Jake and Elwood wear in the Blues Brothers movie. If you really want your costume to be movie specific try to make your shirt look slightly dirty. |
Blues Brothers Necktie
A simple necktie will also be needed to make this costume.
This necktie should be plain black in color. It should also be a relatively thin necktie. |
Blues Brothers Sunglasses
No Blues Brothers costume would be complete without a pair of sunglasses.
The sunglasses worn by the Blues Brothers appear to be 80’s style Oakley sunglasses. However, a cheap replica pair of these sunglasses will look just as good. |
Blues Brothers Hat
You will also need a very unique looking hat when making your Blues Brothers fancy dress.
This hat should be black to match your suit and necktie and should have a blues style fashion to it. |
Blues Brothers Shoes
The final part of making your own homemade Blues Brothers cosplay is a pair of shoes.
These shoes should be black like the rest of this fancy dress. A pair of simple formal black shoes will look fantastic as part of this really cool costume. |
