Edgar’s design leans heavily into mid-2000s mall-goth and emo aesthetics, built around everyday streetwear pieces pushed to exaggerated proportions. Recreating his look is largely an exercise in sourcing the right casual garments, but the costume falls flat without two critical elements: his sweeping fringe and his massive striped scarf.
Because the core outfit consists of standard casual wear—a two-tone baseball shirt, fitted jeans, and a studded belt—putting the costume together is relatively straightforward. The real challenge comes down to handling the volume of the neckwear and keeping the heavy fringe out of your eyes while walking a convention floor.
The Signature Striped Scarf
Edgar’s scarf isn’t just an accessory; in-game it acts as his weapon, wrapped thickly enough to bury his lower face and trailing down past his waist. A standard winter scarf often lacks the bulk required to replicate that exaggerated game model silhouette. A Purple and White Striped Scarf provides the proper horizontal pattern and colorway right out of the box.
To get the bulky, layered collar appearance without choking yourself, fold or bunch the scarf horizontally before wrapping it two or three times around your neck. Pull the top fold up over your chin and lower lip. If the fabric tends to slip down as you talk, anchor the inner layer to your shirt collar with a safety pin, or stitch a small strip of flesh-toned elastic or wire along the top edge so it stays over your nose without constant adjusting.
Styling the Emo Fringe
Edgar’s hairstyle is defined by an asymmetrical, side-swept fringe that completely obscures one eye. A Dark Blue Emo Wig provides the right dark, midnight-toned base with pre-cut razored layers typical of early scene styles.
Out of the package, synthetic wigs are usually too flat and will fall into your open eye. Use a hairdryer on low heat or a light spritz of hairspray while combing the bangs diagonally across your forehead. Thin out the tips using thinning shears rather than cutting straight across, which prevents a blunt, blocky fringe. If you need visibility in crowded spaces, train the bangs to rest just above your pupil or use a dab of clear washable glue stick to anchor stray fibers along your eyebrow.
Streetwear Base Layers
Underneath the scarf, Edgar wears a Black and Red 3/4 Sleeve Baseball Tee. The raglan cut with crimson sleeves against a black torso matches his sprite cleanly. Because the scarf covers the entire neckline, focus on getting a tee that fits comfortably around your shoulders and chest without bunching up under the neck wraps.
For the lower half, pair the shirt with Slim Fit Charcoal Grey Jeans. Edgar’s proportions in game art favor narrow legs to balance his top-heavy scarf and hair. A dark charcoal or faded black denim works better than pure jet-black here, providing contrast between your pants and the shirt body. Thread a Studded Belt through the loops with silver pyramid studs to break up the waistline. Letting the belt tip hang slightly loose matches his slouched posture.
Hands and Footwear
Edgar wears fingerless hand coverings that extend just past the wrists. A pair of Purple Fingerless Gloves balances the palette by matching the purple stripes in the scarf. They also leave your fingers free, which makes handling your phone or convention badges much easier throughout the day.
For footwear, any plain black skate sneakers, canvas low-tops, or worn-in combat boots will blend naturally with the charcoal denim. Smudging a quick line of dark eyeliner around your visible eye helps accentuate his tired, brooding expression without requiring extensive makeup work.
