How to Dress Like Raiden from Mortal Kombat

Outfit:

Raiden is known for wearing his iconic white and blue karate gi. You can use a regular white karate gi and attach blue cloth on top of it to complete the look.

Accessories:

You can make accessories with felt or fabric. For the sleeves you will need silver-colored felt and stitch or affix it to the sleeves.

To make the cross lines of the calves you can use a thread that is thick enough to imitate the doubles.

For the center of the costume you need a felt or fabric ribbon of black color and with golden foam. Proceed to make 5 figures similar to Raiden’s to add it to the ribbon.

Cut the two figures on the sleeves of the suit in gold fabric. To avoid damaging the gi, use a hook to fix it to the suit.

Hat:

Raiden’s cylindrical hat is one of the most important aspects of the costume.You can make it with cardboard. Just make a large cone to simulate Raiden’s hat and adjust it to your head. Use an elastic so that it does not fall off while cosplaying.
