Andy Dwyer, played by Chris Pratt on Parks and Recreation, is the lovable goof behind Mouse Rat. His gray band tee and open plaid shirt make a relaxed, instantly recognizable look, especially with a guitar case nearby. Andy is the band’s singer and guitarist, so you can bring a little pretend rock-star energy without needing to know a single chord. The Mouse Rat logo gives fans a fun ‘I know that guy’ moment.
Start with a light gray Mouse Rat T-shirt featuring the black circle, red lettering, and white rat graphic. Layer an open brown plaid flannel over it so the logo stays visible. Pair the shirt with dark-wash straight jeans and gray lace-up athletic sneakers for a complete casual outfit. Finish with a black soft guitar gig bag as an easy band prop; carry it empty, or use a guitar you already own. The bag is sold on its own. Want a different Parks and Recreation look? Andy’s Burt Macklin costume is a separate FBI getup, while April’s Janet Snakehole costume makes a fun paired option.

Andy Dwyer Cosplay Ideas
Build Andy Dwyer’s Mouse Rat outfit around the light gray short-sleeve T-shirt. Look for the black circle logo with red Mouse Rat lettering and a white rat graphic, then wear it as the main event. Add the brown plaid long-sleeve button shirt on top, leaving it open so the logo stays visible. The flannel brings the same relaxed color-and-pattern feel. Leave it unbuttoned and let both front panels fall naturally so the Mouse Rat logo stays easy to see. This simple layer also makes the outfit comfortable to wear through a party or convention.
Pair the shirt with dark-wash straight jeans and gray lace-up athletic sneakers for an easy head-to-toe match. A black soft guitar gig bag finishes the band look; carry it empty, or place a guitar you already own inside. You don’t need to buy an instrument for the costume.
Keep your hair and grooming simple. Short brown hair and light stubble fit the visible look, but you do not need a special wig or makeup. If you want another Parks and Recreation option, Andy’s Burt Macklin costume is a separate FBI outfit, not this Mouse Rat ensemble. April’s Janet Snakehole costume is a separate paired look.
