Where Can You Buy Cosplay Outfits?

20.Nov.2017

One of the things that Japan is most famous for is cosplay – so this article will guide you where you can buy your own outfits!

The two main ways of buying cosplay outfits:

Buy directly in shops

Buy online

Buying in shops

Cosplay specialist shops are a thing in Japan, and ideal for trying on the outfits to see if they suit. As with buying ordinary clothes, often the same outfits will be available in different sizes, to suit your body, along with wigs, shoes and other accessories to pull off the look. Staff are also on hand to advise if you are unsure of what to buy or what will suit you, so is highly recommended for those who are just starting out in cosplay. Here are some great cosplay costumes and goods stores in Tokyo!
