I decided to continue with my Daredevil Season 2 posts by doing a few casual cosplay looks today. Casual cosplaying makes me wish I had a job where I got to where real clothes instead of scrubs (and or pj’s when I’m doing the stay-at-home-mom thing). There’s so many cool and fun ways to embody your favorite characters through fashion without blatantly being dressed like that person. Since we’re meeting two new people on Daredevil this week, I wanted to do an Elektra cosplay as well as a Punisher cosplay.
Elektra Cosplay
So Elektra (based on the comic images I’ve seen) appears to not really wear much clothing at all. Like, she might as well be naked and fighting crime in a bed sheet. Elektra in Netflix’s Daredevil has a lot more clothing on. I wanted to come up with a look that features her (in my opinion) signature red, but with more coverage a la Netflix and this is what I came up with for my Elektra cosplay look 🙂
Punisher Cosplay
This Punisher look seems very true to both the comics and the images floating around for Netflix’s Daredevil. I love the lightness of the top paired with the hardness of the leather. This is definitely something you could wear to kick some serious butt. I had fun with this look as I’ve never made a look from a male character into something more feminine.
I’ve been trying to incorporate more subtle ways to embrace my favorite characters in my day-to-day outfit choices. This is my first go at creating looks for characters and I have to admit, it’s a little addicting. Sometimes you just want to be a superhero without wearing an actual logo and casual cosplay is the perfect way to do it – so be prepared for more of these fun fashion style posts from me 🙂
Which outfit do you like the best or would you most likely wear?
These are so cute! I’m with you about trying to incorporate more “nerdy” style elements in my everyday wardrobe, though it’s hard when my work style is so restricted. I love the idea of adding a cool blazer like in the Punisher look, though!
Restrictive work clothes definitely make it hard. When I do get called in, I’ve gotta wear scrubs so definitely can’t really nerd it out there :p
Hey, if they can gender-swap a massively famous character like Thor, or recreate a story like with a female protagonist like SpiderGwen, or have male/female characters like Superman/Supergirl or Hawkman/Hawkgirl, then I think a girlie Punisher is quite awesome. Since, you’re talking about casual cosplay as an individual who is going from girlie to nerdy, I think it’s perfection. Then again, I too am a tomboy nerd trying to fit more girlie into my personal style… and I’m a fan and friend.
So, so true! I never realized how fun gender-swapping characters can be 🙂 You’re nerdy outfits lately have been so fantastic!
Adore The Punisher outfit. It’s something I would wear.
Thanks! That’s probably the one I’d most likely wear too 🙂
These are so cute. I’d definitely wear the Punisher one.
Thanks 🙂 Punisher is more my style…but my alter-ego would probably rock the Elektra look :p
Love both outfits, and I totally hear you about incorporating more subtle nerdy elements into everyday wear. It’s totally why I’m a fan of casual (or closet) cosplay / the whole “disneybound” thing. 🙂
So excited for the new season of Daredevil!
I just checked out disneybound and oh so much yes!
Have you tried these out IRL? I’d love to see some photos of you wearing your casual cosplays out! 🙂
I haven’t tried due to current wardrobe limitations, but as I can try stuff I definitely plan to and post about it 🙂
I love casual cosplays!! Definitely excited to see more looks from you:) Those red leather pants are epic! And I really like the more feminine imagining of the Punisher. Super cute outfits!
I feel like in an alternate universe, I’m rocking those red leather pants ha 🙂
These are sooooooo awesome!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
Thanks – I think so too 🙂
Great choices Danielle!! I love the Daredevil outfit more!! But i love the color red!
Thanks – I love red as well 🙂
Hmmmm hard to chooseeeeeeee…. but… I guess I would choose the Punisher look! LOL (Though I never wear full black myself) I find that red makes me too spooky LOL
I try not to do all black either, but I do like all of the leather :p
As you know casual cosplay is my jam! And I think you have killed it with these looks! I would wear the hell out of that punisher look that top is too lovely! Good job can’t wait to see more!
I really love that top top – it’s so fun and a little dark 🙂 So glad you love these looks!
LOVE BOTH OF THESE SOOOO HARD!!!
