Whether you're going to your first convention or a con veteran, choosing costume ideas can be tricky. There are many factors to consider: what are you skilled at making? What are you interested in dressing up as?

With this in mind, here are some fun cosplay ideas for your next big convention!

1. Venti From Genshin Impact

For your next convention, why not go as Venti from Genshin Impact?

This costume will require a few common items, including a white tunic dress and a matching cloak or robe. An oversized pair of blue trousers, along with a white and blue belt and white shoes will give you the perfect base to recreate Venti's look.

To top off the costume, style your hair with a headband and some hair ties. You can also attach some blue feathers to your belt buckle and add accessories like a necklace and wristbands. You'll make a bold statement and stand out from the crowd.

2. Naruto Uzumaki

For fans of the popular anime Naruto Uzumaki, the next comic con is an opportunity to recreate the beloved character. To help you do this, invest in a quality Naruto-style orange jumpsuit and Converse sneakers.

Next, cover the jumpsuit in high-quality blue fabric. Complete the look with a signature ninja headband to create the iconic and recognizable face from the show. You can also add a chain belt, bamboo knuckle dusters, and a kunai holster to help complete the look.

If you feel extra crafty, take out your Brother sewing machines and affix a few Uzumaki swirl logos to personalize the cosplay. With Naruto cosplay, you will have a blast attending and participating in the convention.

3. Katara From Avatar

Why not take a cue from one of the most beloved animated TV series ever? Avatar: The Last Airbender's Katara, one of the main characters in the series, has an iconic look that can be replicated for your cosplay.

Start with a long, blue overcoat for the top layer and pair it with wide, tapered capris. Find a suitable headdress or option for temporary hair color to match her dark brown locks. To pull the look together, carry a blue water skin and practice your water-bending poses.

4. Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is a popular choice for cosplay enthusiasts to dress up at conventions. So if you're looking for inspiration for your next cosplay, look no further.

Wear the iconic deerstalker hat and cape with a tweed suit and waistcoat. Wear a smart checkered scarf and some brown leather gloves, and you've got yourself a classic Sherlock Holmes look.

If you're feeling a bit more daring, you can add some classic detective props like a magnifying glass, pipe, and a folder full of notes. And don't forget to practice the classic accent of a British detective!

5. Wednesday Adams

Wednesday Addams is the perfect character to cosplay at your next convention. With her unique gothic style, she is sure to stand out from the crowd and make a strong impression.

She has a few classic, iconic looks from the Addams Family films that you can choose from. For example, you can go for the classic black dress or blue dress with white pinafore and hairbows. Or you can also go for the black and white with her signature white collared shirt.

You can add black gloves and boots, white sweatbands, and her signature red tights to complete the look. Depending on your convention, you can find various props to help bring the character to life. For accessories, you can consider a necklace with a spider pendant, a bouquet of black roses, or a book of poems.

6. Rey From Star Wars

If you're looking for a creative, attention-grabbing cosplay to wear at your next convention, it's hard to beat Rey from Star Wars. Her outfit is iconic and simple to replicate with a few pieces of clothing.

For a whole look, pair a light cream, long-sleeved top with cream, ankle-length pants, and a brown leather-like corset, complete with a wide gray belt. Add tall brown boots and a gray shawl, and complete the look with a full-length staff. To make your costume design even more accurate, braid your hair and top off the look with Rey's signature sky-blue eye makeup.

7. Jasmine

Jasmine's iconic look, including an iconic two-piece purple outfit and a voluminous hairstyle, is sure to make an impression. Start with an off-the-shoulder, cropped purple top with gold trim to create the perfect look. Finish the look with matching, high-waisted wide-leg pants, gold hoop earrings, and metallic sandals.

And remember to top off the look with a generous amount of Jasmine's long, thick, and great hair. Accessorize with a long pink scarf, a gold tiara, and glimmering gemstones.

8. Joker and Harley Quinn

Are you going to your next convention with a partner? Joker and Harley Quinn are a comfortable and iconic cosplay pair to pull off. With some pieces ready to wear and some sprucing up with spray paint, you're sure to be a hit.

For Harley Quinn, start with a black and red shirt, ripped jean shorts, and white and red glitter sneakers. Add decorative details like glittery red lips and smudged eyeliner for that mischievous look. Of course, always remember the iconic pigtails.
