i am creating a look for one of my characters. she should have a “John Wick” look in a “disco version”. She is a 25 year old very attractive female.
The costume has to consist of things one could find at home.
I am thinking a black tight turtleneck will be a part of it, maybe a vest. Combination of dark grey and black with something sleek and shiny perhaps even sparkly.
Any ideas what to put on her to make someone think “John Wick coming down with Saturday Night Fever?”
retrofuturistic or retro modern ok. sexy good, obscene bad.
any ideas for special wearable items welcome.
think Leeloo from 5th Element type of “memorable” costume.
Thank you.

Shave your head (not all the way) and wear one long earring on one ear.

Or better yet, ditch the scarf look and get (for the style not those shown): A relaxed, 1 or 2 button but long opening jacket like this: ![https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-VB698_SUITS0_M_20170912112340.jpg](https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-VB698_SUITS0_M_20170912112340.jpg) Get some elephant pant: ![https://image.shopittome.com/apparel_images/fb/norma-kamali-high-rise-flared-trousers-abv9a79e4a9_c.jpg](https://image.shopittome.com/apparel_images/fb/norma-kamali-high-rise-flared-trousers-abv9a79e4a9_c.jpg) Some platform shoes: ![https://d2h1pu99sxkfvn.cloudfront.net/b0/6849309/410705939_78UuFtJSvL/P6.jpg](https://d2h1pu99sxkfvn.cloudfront.net/b0/6849309/410705939_78UuFtJSvL/P6.jpg) and maybe some old oversized sunglasses (get some multi angles, hexagonal or octagonal, rather than round frame): ![https://cdn-img-0.wanelo.com/p/07e/1a1/8ed/37a6bc4f3c59d2c11f5a5ca/x354-q80.jpg](https://cdn-img-0.wanelo.com/p/07e/1a1/8ed/37a6bc4f3c59d2c11f5a5ca/x354-q80.jpg) ![https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0917/4492/products/SAGO_brown_LTN_1600x.jpg?v=1537920623](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0917/4492/products/SAGO_brown_LTN_1600x.jpg?v=1537920623) You'll have to handle the jewelry on your own though.

But somehow for a John Wick type of style, Chic but a bit relaxed, maybe something like the blue style on the left could work too:

Both looks, with a leather jacket or a suit jacket, are striking but there is a difference in what they try to emulate or represent. The leather jacket is more Bond-girl-on-a-weekend-getaway-with-James while the suit jacket is more business, which would fit the John Wick look a bit more.
Has for suspenders, it could work but not with a jacket:
With a jacket it either becomes too loaded or you're actually trying to emulate dressing like a man instead of "borrowing" something from what is a typical man's wardrobe and making it your own. Suspenders are either there to add details (or structure) or they are used to simply physically hold the pants/trousers/shorts/whatever in place.
I've seen bold colored suspenders create interesting looks too.

Nora, you cant go wrong with lots of black. It hides imperfections in the fabric and sewing, its slimming, its a "classic" color, and you live in ny. So....
