Gilded edge: For black-tie affairs like Dracula costumes or any kind of power dressing seen by villains, embrace your inner luxe kingpin with matte black offset with gold flashes like wearable jewellery.
Hypnosis: Add the cherry on top of distinct costumes like F1 racer gear with nails that pull as much focus as your costume. Match the colours to a distinct detail on what you are wearing — whether it’s a print or eye-catching colour.
Skin deep: Snakeskin textures are a fun and modern way to create a dangerous look. Add this as a distinct finishing touch to your reptilian character or a stripped down neutral fit.
Matte Black: For the lover of antihero types, a simple black flourish that works with leathery based looks, classic slasher characters or minimalist monochrome characters that are understated, but unmistakable.
