DIY Narciso Anasui Costume Guide

What You’ll Need

Narciso Anasui wears one of the most distinctive outfits in Stone Ocean, combining an open grid torso, detached sleeves, and a belted wrap skirt over layered white hosiery. Assembling the look comes down to balancing bright color contrasts with clean structural breaks rather than tailoring an intricate single piece.

Because the design relies heavily on exposed mesh and floating accessories, fit and anchoring matter more than heavy fabric construction. Tackling the headwear and hair first establishes the color palette before moving on to the torso and waist layers.

Hair, Beret, and Eye Styling

Anasui is immediately recognizable by his long, vibrant magenta hair paired with a dark purple beret resting toward the back of the head. Starting with a Long Pink Wig gives you the length and rich color base needed for the look. Trimming the fringe straight across the forehead while leaving longer strands framing the cheekbones matches his manga and anime appearance. To keep the locks smooth and prevent tangling across your shoulders during a convention day, gently comb through with wide-tooth silicone spray or diluted fabric softener before wearing. A Purple Beret can be pinned directly into the wig mesh using a few bobby pins along the inner knit band to prevent it from sliding back.

For the eyes, Uniqso Hot Pink Contact Lenses deliver the saturated pinkish-red iris tone that contrasts sharply with the purple and blue tones of the upper outfit.

Torso Mesh and Detached Sleeves

The torso features an open blue-green lattice design that leaves the chest partially exposed while tapering down to the waistline. A Turquoise Fishnet Top works well as a base for this structure. The stretch nylon construction allows the open weave to sit flush against your skin without bunching under the armpits. If you want to replicate the specific footprint-shaped cutouts from the source art, you can carefully trim select crossbars of the weave and seal the cut edges with clear fabric glue to prevent unraveling under tension.

Rather than continuous shirt sleeves, Anasui wears detached forearm coverings that stop just below the elbow. Purple Arm Socks recreate this separated look without requiring custom patterning. The dark purple tone mirrors the beret, tying the top and bottom of the upper half together visually. Because they stay in place with their own elastic bands, your arms move freely without tugging on the delicate netting across your chest.

Waist Wrap and Layered Legwear

Anasui’s lower half combines an asymmetric wrap with heavy utilitarian hardware. A Brown Sarong Skirt wraps around the hips, sitting slightly lower than a typical waistband. Folding the top edge over once before wrapping helps dial in the exact length so the hem hangs just above the knees. Securing it with a White Studded Belt keeps the skirt in place and adds the visible metallic double-grommet detailing that defines his waistline.

Underneath the wrap skirt, his legs feature two stacked layers. Start with White Fishnet Tights to echo the diamond grid pattern from the torso. Over the fishnets, pull on White Thigh High Socks so they sit at mid-thigh, creating a solid white block of color between the open mesh above and the boots below. Applying a thin strip of fashion tape or body adhesive along the top sock ribbing stops them from rolling down as you walk.

Footwear

White Boots anchor the bottom of the costume, continuing the clean white tone from the thigh-high socks down to the floor. A low-heeled or flat white ankle-to-calf boot matches the streamlined aesthetic of his prison footwear while keeping you comfortable on convention floors. While Pink Flip Flops match Anasui’s secondary color palette and work for casual lounge settings or quick costume changes, structured white boots remain the accurate choice for his standard appearance throughout the prison arc.
