A spandex bodysuit is one of the best base layers for cosplay. It gives you a smooth silhouette, stays comfortable for long conventions, and works with almost any character design. Here’s how to use it as the foundation of your outfit.

The material defines the character’s look. Heroes often use shiny suits; stealth or ninja characters work better with matte finishes. Browse options:
Adding Armor, Belts, and Accessories
You can attach foam armor, utility belts, or harnesses without damaging the suit if you add a soft backing layer. Elastic straps or velcro extensions work well and keep the surface clean.
