Nero Costume – Devil May Cry 5
There is a good chance you already own many of the clothing items you will need to make your own homemade Nero costume from Devil May Cry 5. However, you may find yourself having to buy a replica gun and, most certainly, a replica Devil Breaker. Here is a complete list of everything you need to make your own Nero Costume from the Devil May Cry 5 video game.
Nero Jacket
The very first item of clothing you will need when putting together a Nero costume is a jacket.
Although the jacket worn by Nero appears black it is actually blue. It is also quite a long jacket. You may find an exact replica but are more likely to find something that looks similar. The sleeves should be rolled up. |
Nero Pants
For your Nero costume you will need a pair of black pants.
The easiest way to replicate the look of the pants worn by this video game character is to buy and wear a simple pair of black jeans. Ideally, these jeans should be a straight cut. |
Nero Red Sweatshirt
Under the jacket you will need to wear a dark red sweatshirt for your Nero costume.
This should be a simple dark red sweatshirt which, if you wish, should have the beginning of holes starting on the lower front. The sleeves should also be rolled up just like the sleeves on the jacket. |
Nero Grey T-Shirt
Under the sweatshirt you will wear for your Nero costume you will need to wear at t-shirt.
This t-shirt should be grey in color. You should also attempt to make the t-shirt visible around the neck and have it hanging slightly lower than the sweatshirt. |
Nero Boots
A pair of black boots will be needed to make your own Nero costume.
The easiest way to replicate the boots worn by this video games character is to wear a pair of black military style combat boots. Your pants should be pushed in to these boots. |
Nero Fingerless Gloves
You will need a pair of fingerless gloves when putting together you Nero costume.
For this video games costume you should choose a pair of black fingerless gloves although you will only need to wear one. This should be worn on your left hand as on your right you will be wearing a Devil Breaker. |
Nero Devil Breaker
Possibly the most difficult part of making your own Nero costume is the Devil Breaker glove.
It is, in theory, possible to make your own Devil Breaker. However, it is worth noting that replicas of the Devil Breaker glove are available for sale. The Devil Breaker should obviously be worn on your right hand. |
Nero Red Rose Gun
In the Devil May Cry 5 video game the character uses several guns.
We would recommend that you attempt to replicate the characters Red Rose gun for your Nero costume. To do this you will need a long barrelled revolver style gun. You may even be able to find a replica of the Red Rose gun. |
Nero Wig – Nero Hair
The final item you will need to complete your Nero costume is a short haired grey wig.
There is certainly the option of dying your hair grey if you wish and if you already have grey hair this look will be easy to replicate. However, the easiest way, if you do not have grey hair, is to simply buy a wig. |
