Costume help - beatnik

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a decent beatnik character?

I've got a low level ill/ff controller who I want a beatnik look for. It is proving hard. He is slim/average build and normal height. He's supposed to be pale and sensitive to light so I'm trying to cover most of his skin/eyes.

Sorry I don't have a pic but right now he has the Fedora hat, wrap glasses, tight chest with neck cover (turtle-neck), soul patch beard, the military jacket open, office belt, basic pants and sneakers. Everything is black but his skin.

It kind of works but at times seems more hip-hop or Run DMC than beatnik. It might be the jacket but I think he needs some kind of cover.

If anyone would enjoy taking a shot at it I'd be thankful. Or maybe there are just some pieces in the costume creator that I'm not thinking of. I can't seem to break my rut.

Thanks.

Try ditching the jacket and changing the pants color to a more muted color like brown. You could also try changing the hat to a beret. And use the round eyeglasses with heavily tinted lenses. Purple should do nicely there.


your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.

Use the neck cover option in Masks with Hair, that way you can simulate a turtle neck on a simple chest... *snaps fingers repeatedly*

He already did that. Keep up.

Hey i've only had one cup of coffee... btw isn't there some kind of rainbow chest insignia in i12 test? what about a peace symbol?

A peace symbol would work, but for that he's got to keep the jacket or it ends up being this big ugly thing on his chest. It could work with the jacket, I just don't care for the jacket idea much. Now, if we had a cardigan sweater...

What about one of the more stripey chest patterns one of the baggy shirts, in varying shades of brown and darker brown? You could almost get it to look corduroy.
