I’ve always wanted to put together a Miyako from Digimon Adventure 02 cosplay but, whenever I started putting things together, I quit as soon as I remembered the aviator cap, well last month, I finally decided to stop giving up, because Miyako wouldn’t!

So how do we create this perfect-o cosplay?

How to cosplay as Miyako from Digimon Adventure 02

Miyako’s Digital World outfit is one that I have always felt was pretty cool, the hat is super cool and the overall look just screams ‘ADVENTURE’ and ‘EXCITEMENT’. The 02 mechanic of ‘they get new outfits when they enter the Digital World’ is something I’m surprised never returned as a concept, probably because it makes no sense.

As always, let’s start with the optional extras – the items that are mainly props for photoshoots.

Digivice : Bandai has only released two of these over the years; Japan’s release and the English release, but you can make your own or buy one on Etsy as mentioned for previous cosplays.

eBay, party store, whatever. I actually got the same wig as I used for Eri, just in a different colour. ~15AUD Aviator Helmet/Cap: Man this was the hardest part to get and most certainly the most expensive, I found something almost usable for the cosplay on eBay after a pretty extensive search. I’m sure you could make one that is absolutely perfect-o, but this was easy and close enough. ~35AUD

All in all, how much is it? Around $100. Cheap and easy, but how does it look? I was actually surprised – it actually looks like Miyako!

What other characters would you like to see a cheap and easy cosplay of? Please let me know in the comments and maybe you’ll inspire me to create something new or bring out an older cosplay I already have. I’m actually building one at the moment – can you guess?
