Reggie Abbott Twelve Forever Costume Guide

What You’ll Need

Reggie Abbott’s everyday outfit in Twelve Forever captures her energetic, rebellious personality through loose silhouettes and contrasting colors. She spends her days dodging the realities of growing up, and her wardrobe reflects that carefree attitude: casual, oversized basics thrown together without worrying about neatness. Recreating her appearance centers on getting the proportions right, layering the legwear properly, and nailing her distinctive mismatched footwear.

Because her clothes look like items pulled straight from a middle-schooler’s closet, fit and styling make all the difference between an ordinary loungewear outfit and an accurate character portrayal. Choosing garments with the correct drape and pairing the right shades will make the costume instantly recognizable.

Oversized Cream Shirt and Belt

Reggie wears a loose cream-colored crewneck t-shirt with short sleeves that drop slightly off her shoulders. Sizing up once or twice helps create that boxy, relaxed drape seen on screen without having to alter the collar. The off-white shade keeps the upper half neutral, allowing the bright colors on her lower half to take center stage.

Over the shirt, she wears a medium-width brown belt. Rather than cinching tightly through belt loops, the belt sits loosely over the hem of the shirt around hip level. A simple brown faux-leather belt with an unobtrusive silver or brass buckle works well here. Letting the shirt bunch slightly above the belt replicates her slouchy animated silhouette.

Layering the Capris and Leggings

Reggie’s pants combination is one of her most specific design choices. She wears wide-leg yellow capris that fall just below the knee, cut with a relaxed, flared leg opening. Cotton, twill, or linen-blend culottes with an elastic waist provide comfort and allow easy movement while retaining that flared rectangular shape.

Directly underneath the yellow capris, Reggie wears fitted black cropped leggings that extend past the trouser cuffs down to mid-calf. This stark contrast between the bright yellow trousers and the black base layer is essential. Standard opaque black capri leggings or longer bike shorts will sit flat under the wide-leg pants without bunching or adding bulk.

The Mismatched Canvas High Tops

Her footwear features an unmistakable quirk: mismatched classic canvas high-top sneakers. Her left shoe is bright pink, while her right shoe is sky blue. Both shoes feature white rubber soles, white round toe caps, and clean white laces.

Achieving this look means picking up two separate pairs of canvas high-tops—one pink and one blue—and wearing the opposing shoes together. If you cosplay with friends, you might find someone willing to split the pairs, or you can keep the alternate set for everyday wear. Lace them up with standard white shoelaces and tie them in loose, functional knots.

Wig Volume and Styling

Reggie is immediately recognizable by her thick, unruly mop of bright ginger hair. A long orange or copper synthetic wig featuring pre-cut front bangs gives you the necessary length and base color.

Out of the package, synthetic wigs are usually sleek and flat, whereas Reggie’s hair has wild cartoon volume that flares outward. Gently tease the fibers at the roots using a wide-tooth comb or teasing brush around the crown and sides to build outward fullness. Trim the bangs straight across so they rest just above the eyes, and finish with a light misting of hairspray to hold the messy shape in place.
