Visor Costumes

Pick the Kind of Visor You Want

A visor on this page is one of three things: a sports sun visor, a superhero eyepiece or a sci-fi headpiece. They are not interchangeable, so choose the family you mean before you buy anything else.

A sun visor suits beach, skate and trainer builds, which is why Sunshine Squirrel Girl wears one over a purple lei wreath and Rollerblade Barbie wears one over a leotard swimsuit. A chrome eyepiece belongs with Cyclops and the Star Trek crew instead, where the visor is the whole face.

Build a Sports Visor Look

The cheap route is a plain sun visor with clothing you already own. Rollerblade Ken wears a tie dye sun visor with a pink tank top, skatewear shorts and sweatbands, and the visor is what tells everyone which Barbie scene you mean.

Pokémon trainers do the same job with a hoodie and shorts. The Instinct Trainer (M) build sits on a yellow hoodie and fit MTB shorts, while the Valor Trainer (M) build uses a visor hat over a hoodie and loose fit MTB shorts.

Add one prop and the sport reads instantly. Racing biker gloves or a Pokeball toy finish the trainer builds, rollerskates finish the Barbie pair, and woven sandals keep the beach versions comfortable.

Superhero and Sci-Fi Visors

The eyepiece versions carry more of the character than the outfit does. Cyclops needs the visor sunglasses with the X-Men jacket and belt buckle, and Geordi La Forge needs the chrome VISOR headpiece on a Starfleet uniform, because without it neither of them is recognized.

Garnet is the boldest of the three, since a magenta bodysuit and a square afro sit under the visor and the gemstones glow at the hands. Buy the visor first and match the bodysuit tone to it afterwards.

Fit the Visor Around Hair and Glasses

A visor sits on top of hair, so decide on the head first. Garnet hides a square afro under hers, Rollerblade Barbie pins a light blonde wig beneath the band, and the trainers just wear their normal hair.

If you wear glasses, try the costume on before the party rather than on the night. A mirrored or tinted lens cuts how much you can see, and Cyclops and Geordi La Forge both look better in photos when the lens is clean and angled away from the flash.

Pokémon Trainers and Group Visor Looks

The three team trainers are the easiest group build here, because the hoodie and shorts base stays the same and only the color and the headwear change. Mystic Trainer (M), Instinct Trainer (M) and Valor Trainer (M) can walk in together and still read as three separate characters.

For a pair, Rollerblade Barbie and Rollerblade Ken share one tie dye visor look with different tops. The Los Pollos Hermanos Employee guide is the cheapest single build on the page, because the uniform does almost all of the work.
