Scott Pilgrim & Ramona Flowers

The look

The original comic-book version is the foundation of the franchise. Scott has a deliberately casual Toronto indie-rock appearance, while Ramona has a more fashion-conscious alternative look with constantly changing hair colors. The key to making the pair recognizable is not expensive clothing. The cosplay reads through the combination of casual Canadian indie style, Ramona's colored hair, Scott's Sex Bob-omb aesthetic, and their recognizable weapons.
