Twins costume
Looking for a Twins costume? In the Matrix movies there are many other characters such as the Twins that you can also dress up as for Halloween.
In the Matrix movies, the Twins are kind of like the hitmen for the Mervingian. They have really cool powers, for example, the ability to move through solid objects, and when they do this in turn translucent.
But to make this costume really work you need to have two people dressed exactly alike. Remember, in the Matrix movies there were two of them and they looked exactly alike and they were called the Twins. So keep that in mind if you decide to wear a Twins Halloween costume this year.
The overall costume for the Twins is fairly simple especially when you compare it to the look of many of the other Matrix characters. Most of the other characters in the Matrix, at least the main characters, wear dark colors, mostly black or dark grays. The Twins, however, were a much lighter color – basically a tan shade or a series of light browns.
While they still maintain a businesslike look, they do look a little more casual, clothing wise, than do many of the other characters in the Matrix movies. So let’s talk a little bit about what the Twins costumes entail and what you might want to do to dress up as these guys.
First of all, you’ll both, remember there are 2 of you dressing the same, need a long light brown or tan coat or duster. And underneath that a simple pair of light brown pants and a light brown, tan or gray vest covering a black dress up shirt with a dark gray tie. You’ll also need to wear dark shoes as well and both be clean shaven – even pale in complexion.
You also need a pair of square or rectangular sunglasses, dark in color. And last but not least, you need a way to carry off that unusual hairstyle that both the twins wore in the Matrix series of films so get you a Twins wig. Balding on top, yet with long, cascading braids, light brown in color, wafting down the sides of their heads. In fact, this unique hairstyle lent itself to some really unusual visual effects when the Twins did their change from solid to translucent. A really cool effect!
Many of these items you may already have in your closet at home such as the brown dress pants, a nice dress black shirt and a dark tie. You may even have some sunglasses that will work as well. But the main thing I know you’ll have to get to make the Twins costume exactly perfect is the wig. Those braided locks are one-of-a-kind and the only character you’ll see in the Matrix wearing such a look. So if you follow these steps you should have a very convincing Twins costume, straight out of the Matrix.
